Scality announced that Scality ARTESCA lightweight, cloud-native object storage software is now officially supported on VMware vSphere/ESXi virtualisation environments.
This provides production-level ARTESCA virtual machine (support for vSphere users, with functionality equal to that on physical servers, along with additional deployment flexibility, it claimed.
Enterprise-grade storage has historically required hardware with integrated processing, memory and disk capacity. ARTESCA apparently gets away from all that to support production-level workloads on flexible, commonly used VMware vSphere virtual infrastructures including support for VMware vSAN and live migration capabilities.
