Ambedded Technology is glad to participate INTEROP Las Vegas and share the 1st ever Software-Defined Storage powering by ARM server, with his Unified Virtual Storage Manager, a simple interface provides un-limited scale-out, flexible and sustainable solution for enterprise and datacenter usage.

Traditional server architecture is not a perfect fit for distributed storage because network is usually saturated with low CPU utility. And using virtual machine or multi-deamons carries the risk of multiple lost storage devices when single server fails. Ambedded Technology aims to address those problems with its microserver architecture designed for distributed storage.

Ambedded's architecture provides each storage device with its own low-cost, low-power consumption ARM-based microserver. Multiple microservers are linked together in a 1U server chassis with an internal switch controller to create a cluster fabric. The Mars 200 is an 8-node cluster that uses Ceph and GlusterFS to provide software-defined storage for object, block, and file storage.

Ambedded's product should be the first of many inexpensive Ceph solutions coming out over the next years. Although It's unclear how big a role micro servers will play in the future of storage, but the direction Ambedded has chosen is sure to stir up the market.

"Congratulations to Ambedded Technology and all Best of Interop winners, as these distinguished technologies are playing a major role in defining the IT industry's future," said Interop General Manager Jennifer Jessup. "As we celebrate a big milestone in Interop's history, we're excited to see Ambedded serve as a representation of today's highly sophisticated IT environment - a testament to how far IT technology has come in the past 30 years."

The Best of Interop Awards were judged by an expert panel consisting of 20 influential IT practitioners, analysts and professionals. Each category was assigned two judges who selected the winner after holding a series of briefings to evaluate demos and business cases.
