Rozo Systems is a software-defined storage solution designed to provide high-performance and scalable storage for data centers. According to the vendor, Rozo Systems enables companies of all sizes to build peta-scale file systems by aggregating the capacity and performance of commodity hardware. It is targeted at a wide range of professions and industries, including media and entertainment, life science and healthcare, electronic design automation, and higher education and research.

Key Features

Easy to use: According to the vendor, Rozo Systems simplifies scalability to petabytes by allowing for easy addition of nodes with fully-automated deployment. Applications can seamlessly access the storage through well-known NAS protocols like NFS or SMB.

Lightning fast: The vendor claims that Rozo optimizes hardware performance, whether using HDD or flash media, and each node can sustain high performance for sequential or random I/Os. Adding more nodes is said to increase the overall performance.

Always on: According to the vendor, Rozo Systems provides data protection equivalent to three or more copies with only a 50% redundancy overhead. They claim that server, network, and disk failures are fully transparent to applications.

Cost-effective high-performance storage: The vendor states that Rozo eliminates data silos and performance bottlenecks caused by dedicated hardware solutions, allowing companies to build peta-scale high-performance storage on demand using commodity hardware.

Optimize infrastructure: According to the vendor, Rozo helps companies stop spending money on underused and oversized dedicated hardware by providing a single infrastructure with fluid resources of high-performance storage.

Simplify operations: The vendor claims that Rozo rationalizes operational efforts with one versatile automated storage solution and accelerates high-performance storage delivery through cloud-like deployment.

Increase productivity: According to the vendor, the storage speed provided by Rozo allows users to do more in less time, spending more time using storage rather than designing it.

Cloud-like installation: The vendor states that Rozo software can be easily installed on-premise or in the cloud infrastructure of choice, and automation tools can be scripted to deploy, extend, upgrade, or replicate the setup.

Fast storage provisioning: According to the vendor, Rozo allows users to assemble all available storage devices in one or several pools, create file systems on top of each tier, and manage them through logical quotas.

Seamless integration: The vendor claims that Rozo can be used as a traditional network file system on the LAN without requiring modifications to applications or workflows, and it is fully compliant with directory services such as OpenLDAP or Active Directory.
