Case Study: US Signal achieves scalable, efficient Ceph storage with SoftIron HyperDrive
A Ceph Case Study
US Signal scales its Storage As A Service (STaaS) offering to help meet growing demand
US Signal, a major services provider, faced challenges in scaling their Ceph-based storage infrastructure. Their requirements included managing clusters across multiple disconnected sites, integrating with their services billing, and adhering to stringent SLAs, all while dealing with limited resources and needing a zero-downtime migration. They sought a solution that was interoperable with their existing Ceph environment.
SoftIron addressed these needs with its HyperDrive, a task-specific appliance built for Ceph. The solution provided easy remote management, superior energy efficiency, and complete interoperability, enabling a seamless, non-disruptive migration. As a result, US Signal achieved greater scale and operational efficiency, with HyperDrive using up to 80% less power and producing significantly less heat than their previous hardware. SoftIron's support and secure supply chain provided additional peace of mind.
