OSNexus

OSNexus QuantaStor SDS is one of the more impressive software defined storage platforms available on the market. Having been designed to reduce your overall costs while also making storage management simple by scaling up and out, this software solution is perfect for anyone who wants cost-effective and easily usable storage server software.

Features

There are vast number of features that make OSNexus QuantaStor SDS a great choice. Its storage grid technology allows you to scale-up and out to 64 storage appliances (both physical and virtual) as well as over 100 PBs of managed storage. It also manages to combine appliances, making them simple to manage as single entities. All the appliances within a grid are presented with a single combined real time view. Using this technology, a number of independent pools and storage clusters can be set up to provide highly-available file, block and object storage.

Snapshots

In just a few clicks you can create schedules for automatic snapshots of storage volumes. Thus, ensuring that you will be able to easily recover your files through instant rollback should anything happen. By being able to configure your own schedule, you will be able to set a schedule that reflects your business requirements and will allow instant recovery if disaster were to strike. Snapshots are also a huge asset in the battle against viruses, especially ransom-ware. If an attack was to occur, all you would have to do is use the snapshot rollback to go back to a point before the incident occurred.

Security and Architecture

QuantaStor SDS features variety of security features, leading to end-to-end security coverage. The system features multi-layer data protection for enterprise and cloud storage deployments, both while the system is taking heavy action and when the system is at rest. This end-to-end security provided by this storage server software is ideal for industry applications such as financial services, education, government, healthcare, energy and more.


The architecture of QuantaStor SDS is layered, leading to more flexibility in its design and a rare variety in design options to maximise performance and fault tolerance.

Simple Management

Management is made simple with the impressive QuantaStor SDS management interface. Together with the configuration workflow manager, it removes the need for many long and complex steps that have been long associated with legacy storage applications.

Bouncing Back from Disaster

With QuantaStor SDS, disaster recovery has never been so easy. Its grid technology allows users to deploy very efficient continuity solutions for remote backup and disaster recovery. This can be done either locally, in the cloud or even across a number of data centres around the world. Snapshots and remote replication protocols are utilised to create and send full copies of chosen storage volumes to the disaster recovery site. Some of the key features are multi-directional & remote replication, single console multi-site management and file protection with snapshots.

Perfect for Big Data

If you need software that can handle Big Data workloads, QuantaStor SDS is the ideal solution. For Big Data workloads, you require storage architectures that are not only able to scale but also possess a lot of flexibility. This is needed as they handle a wide variety of workloads, ranging from analytics and real-time data processing to archiving. Important features that make this software solution so effective at handing Big Data workloads include scale-out NAS capability, integrated RAID management and flexible storage pool architecture to name a few.

Support for The Latest Technology

Another great feature about this storage server software solution is its support for the latest technology. NVMe use is supported with all storage types. This includes NAS, SAN and object storage.

VMware Certified

QuantaStor is certied for use on VMware v5 and v6 via FC, iSCI and NFS.

Why Us

With a proud history of almost 3 decades of serving some of the most influential organisations on the planet, Broadberry are one of the industry’s premier providers of storage server technology. NASA, Sky, Sony, Toyota, Virgin, Tesco and the BBC are only a few of the huge names that have taken advantage of our services.

Our CyberStore storage servers are unique in that they are compatible with every major storage server software on the market. While other brands in this industry force you buy new hardware every time you want to change software, we include compatibility for all major storage server software all in one box.

Another perk you get with our Cyberstore storage server (that is rare elsewhere) is that we never vendor lock. You will never find yourself in a position where you are forced to only buy from us. Our storage servers are compatible with 3rd party hardware, giving you the freedom to choose whatever hardware you want to add to your setup.

Finally, our belief is that our prices should be as fair as possible. Unlike with other names in this industry, we do not believe in taking advantage of our customers by inflating prices. With us, you get the best of both worlds. The highest quality storage servers that can match up with the very best this industry has to offer, for some of the best price value you will find anywhere.

Multi
Award-Winning

Year-after-year, the Broadberry CyberStore range of unified storage appliances has beaten the likes of Dell and HPE to be crowned "Best Storage Appliance" by PC Pro magazine.

Outstanding
Value

When compared to the likes of DELL, HPE, EMC etc, the Broadberry CyberStore range of enterprise-grade unified storage appliances is up to 60% cheaper, although using the same quality components such as Seagate drives and Kingston RAM.

Compatible with your
Favourite Software

The Bradberry CyberStore range has been built from industry-leading commodity hardware, and carefully designed to ensuure full compatibility with leading storage operating systems and database engines.


Lower Cost, Same Components

Broadberry enterprise storage appliances are on average 86% lower cost than EMC and 55% lower cost than DELL although built using the same leading-brand server components such as Intel processors and Samsung memory. HPE hard drives are rebadged Toshiba enterprise-class drives, the exact same models as found in Broadberry storage appliances.

Hard Drive Caddies Included

When you buy a Broadberry storage appliance all drive bays are supplied with caddies - so if in 6 months time you decide to expand the storage you can source it freely from the marketplace or ourselves if you wish. The only way to add hard drives to HPE servers is to buy the drives along with caddies from HPE for 200% the price of Broadberry's price.

No Ongoing Licence Costs

Broadberry storage appliances come with enterprise-grade features like IPMI included, whereas HPE charge large fees for perpetual licences for the same features.

Instant, Accurate Quotations

Our website allows you to configure your server online with accurate prices, as opposed to NetApp who require several face-to-face meetings with them before they'll give you a price.

Market Moving Away from Tier 1 Vendors

Over recent years there's been a massive move from the world's largest organisations such as Google to purchase their servers from the likes of Broadberry rather than DELL and HPE. This move is fuelled by the rise in commodity hardware.
