Put simply, clustering is connecting multiple servers together to act as one large unit. Our cluster solutions consists of two or more Storinator storage servers working together to provide a higher level of availability, reliability, and scalability than can be achieved by using a single server. Designed to work together, our cluster solutions will protect your data and keep your applications running if failure on one of the server occurs. Our cluster solutions also offer easy scalability for your growing data demands.

Depending on how you configure your cluster, you can achieve different goals, such as large aggregate capacity or robustness via redundancy. To create a cluster, one adds a software layer on top of the OS that runs each server. A little bit of configuration, and you are up and running.

A Conversation About Storage Clustering:
The reasons why organizations should consider clustering and the benefits that open-source software provides.
The differences between GlusterFS and CephFS to help determine which open-source software is best for your infrastructure.
Summary of best practices and introducing a new piece of 45 Drives hardware that can accompany your Ceph clustering setup.
There are many reasons you would benefit from a cluster solution:
Clustering architecture can be used to achieve very high levels of performance.
If you're taking a server offline, doing server maintenance or experience power failure -Clustering will keep your data available at all times!
Clustering your Storinator is the most effective way to grow your overall capacity.
As your business grows, so will your storage requirements. With some simple planning you can be sure you will never run out of space.
Our storage servers are open storage platforms that gives you the freedom to run any software.
Ceph provides object, block and file storage in a single, horizontally scalable cluster, with no single points of failure. Perfect for the Storinator, it is self-managing, so it notices when disks fail, and replicates data elsewhere.
Combine your storage drives on multiple servers to create a single namespace or large, virtual drive. Disaster recovery and Geo-replication are both excellent advantages of GlusterFS.
Caringo is an enterprise clustering solution has been tested on our storage servers and validated by their team of expert engineers. Although we cannot support this software, Caringo offers exceptional support to their clients.
