Toshiba Memory’s KumoScale Software Adds Support for New Telemetry Frameworks
Summary
KumoScale software addresses the inefficiencies associated with direct-attached storage (DAS) architectures by disaggregating the high-performance NVMe™ SSDs from compute nodes and making them shared and available across a network infrastructure as network-attached resources. Telemetry data is tagged so that workload and performance can be analyzed on a per-volume, per-interface, per-drive, or per storage class (user application) basis. The KumoScale telemetry provider is built to allow simple adaptation to user frameworks – using either a push or pull model. “Smaller enterprises are forced to monitor their infrastructure using a patchwork of proprietary vendor tools, but that approach doesn’t work at scale,” noted Joel Dedrick, vice president and general manager, shared accelerated storage software, Toshiba Memory America, Inc. “Modern on-premise cloud operators carefully choose the best management framework for their needs, and expect everything under their roof to pour operational data streams and critical event logs into that framework. Today’s announcement is the latest step in realizing that commitment.” Toshiba Memory is a leading provider of NVMe SSDs, technology and software.
