Carlos Carrero – Sr. Principal Product Manager at Veritas Technologies LLC said: “OpenStack is fast gaining traction as the default choice for open source private and public cloud for organisations worldwide with increasing use in production environments. Executing enterprise workloads with high performance and reliability requirements on an OpenStack platform can still be challenging though. For this reason, Veritas has developed a storage solution that addresses the quality of service and ‘noisy neighbour’ challenges customers encounter when deploying their workloads on OpenStack. The result, Veritas™ HyperScale for OpenStack ensures organisations can have the performance and resiliency they need on OpenStack for all of their applications. With its extensive experience in cloud technology and OpenStack deployments, Fairbanks has provided valuable input into the product development. With over two decades of storage management software leadership, Veritas created HyperScale for OpenStack to be a massively scalable software defined storage system that delivers Veritas’ enterprise-class capabilities to OpenStack deployments. As a long standing partner of Veritas and an experienced OpenStack implementation expert, Fairbanks is playing an important role in helping bring the solution to customers.”
