Pros

  • It has a good evolutionary trend to stay alongside AWS as a leader.
  • The web-based Supervisor GUI and Grafana statistics allow you to drill down into historical data in many ways.
  • Easy for the end user to use.
  • The system works so well that we now use it for scalable file system storage and disk-to-disk backups.

Cons

  • The overall packaging is not very good. I think it could be more efficient for installation.
  • There are many components in storage servers. This can generally be complex to understand, you have to be patient.

Return on Investment

  • The total cost of the product is not excessive. If we add its great functionality and performance to this, we obtain a product that generates a fairly respectable ROI.
  • The platform has an incredible vision for the future, which ensures that it will maintain its performance for a few good years, and its great experience in the area makes it creditors of excellent service for customers.

Pros

  • Erasure encoding
  • High availability
  • Exceptional redundancy

Cons

  • Scality can be an extremely complex ecosystem that requires highly experienced people to maintain
  • Having a node fail in the ring can be time consuming to replace and return to full functionality
  • A single failed drive can have dramatic impacts on the entire ring.

Return on Investment

  • Keeping sensitive customer data secure is a must for our organization and Scality has great features to make this happen.
  • We replaced a single SAN with a Scality ring and found performance to improve as we store more and more customer data.
  • Being able to lose various portions of our Scality ring and allow it to continue to service customers while maintaining high performance has been key to our business.
