Hyperconvergence Your Way!
Maxta Hyperconvergence Software
Maxta Hyperconvergence Software reduces capital and operating costs by up to 70 percent and frees IT from the refresh and upgrade cycles of traditional storage. It collapses servers, storage, and networking into a single server tier and allows IT to use existing servers, buy pre-configured servers, or use a combination of both.
Appliance-based hyperconverged solutions require you to buy the software again every time you refresh the hardware and add capacity only by adding appliances. With Maxta, there’s no “refresh tax,” no “upgrade tax” and no vendor lock-in even if you purchase pre-configured servers.
The freedom and flexibility to choose – and change – hardware and virtualization
Hardware and Virtualization Independent
Other hyperconverged restrict your choice of hardware and hypervisor. Maxta supports every major server brand, multiple hypervisors, and containers.
Maxta Hyperconvergence Software gives you a choice of hardware and hypervisors. Maxta supports VMware vSphere and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platforms as well as most major server vendors. You can even choose software only or have the software pre-installed on the widest choice of server platforms.
Maxta gives you a clear advantage over costly and complex traditional storage arrays that lock you into their platform. Hyperconverged appliances promise to solve this but still lock you into a hypervisor, a hardware platform or both. Maxta gives you the freedom to choose.
Software Advantages
Platform Agnostic Architecture
Software Only or Pre-Configured Servers
Use existing servers, buy pre-configured servers, or use a combination of both.
Choose Hypervisors or Containers
Run multiple commercially hardened hypervisors on a single platform in addition to containers.
No Vendor Lock-In
Mix and match server hardware, drives, hypervisors, and containers on a single platform, so you’re never locked-in
Single Point of Support
“One call solves it all” support resolution. Leverage your existing support model and eliminate finger-pointing between vendors.
Application-Centric Management
Application Defined Performance Policies
Easily consolidate different applications on the same cluster and improve performance by 25%.
Application Defined Availability Policies
Control fault tolerance and availability levels on a per application basis, and reduce hardware requirements by defining availability resources per application.
Single UI for VM and Data Management
Manage storage and data resources directly from the hypervisor without the need for a separate storage console.
Cloud-Based Data Analytics
MxIQ provides real-time visibility into private cloud and multi-cloud environments to help eliminate issues before they occur and also provide valuable insights into key performance metrics.
Optimize Performance & Capacity
Scale Compute & Storage Separately
Manage infrastructure growth and cost more effectively with the ability to add capacity to existing servers instead of adding complete appliances.
Capacity Optimization
Significantly reduce the storage footprint for virtual environments by 40 percent or more without impacting performance.
Zero-Copy Clones
Admins can instantly create space-efficient, performance-neutral copies of virtual machines for VDI, as well as test and development environments.
Data Resiliency
Data Availability and Integrity
Automatically protect against outages, data loss and performance degradation when drives, nodes, networks, racks or even sites fail. Can tolerate up to two node failures in a cluster.
Zero-Copy Snapshots
Quickly create or restore snapshots without any additional storage overhead or any performance degradation.
Application Consistent Snapshots
Capture in-flight transactions and restore application to consistent state with no data loss.
Snapshot Policy Engine
Easily set application-defined policies for data retention on a per VM or a group of VMs basis.
Software Architecture
A platform agnostic architecture with application-centric management designed to optimize performance and capacity in the software-defined datacenter.
Maxta’s peer-to-peer hyperconvergence architecture aggregates storage resources from multiple servers, incorporating a global namespace and creating a storage pool. An instance of Maxta software is deployed as a virtual machine or container on each server in the cluster. From the virtualization or DevOps administrator’s perspective, there is a single storage pool for the entire cluster, simplifying VM or container provisioning dramatically. Performance and availability policies assure that each VM or container gets the storage capabilities it needs.
Maxta leverages flash storage resources as a read/write cache for performance (including PCIe, NVMe, or SATA SSDs for performance), and SATA or SAS HDDs or SSDs for capacity. The cache tier can also be deployed with multiple flash devices for redundancy.
