Further details abaout ObjectFirst hardware

Very interesting as that outlines more details.  Nice to see this coming and might see if I can get our company onboard for using this possibly. 😎

Yeah, perhaps there is a early bird program for Veeamers 😉

Would love to PoC one at home. 😋🤣

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 +10 😎

Thx for sharing @JMeixner , nice details and probably affordable 🤞

Thanks for sharing @JMeixner, glad there’s a write up as I wasn’t sure what was under NDA.

If you’re interested I strongly suggest checking out a webinar with them and then having a follow up chat, the tech is looking great and well designed. There are a few options available for trial/PoC devices too if you’re intending to partner with them based on conversations I’ve had.

Interesting insights, thank you @MicoolPaul 

Hmm might be time to contact them about partnering possibly. 😁

I didn’t see this blog post, so thank you very much for sharing @JMeixner! The hardware+software doesn’t look complex at all, so I can’t wait to see how they perform in real life.

@regnor theres a couple of comments I made on a call to them which I’ll echo here.

Compared to products such as Cloudian, the data redundancy options are more limited here. As opposed to the storage policies you can create in Cloudian, your data redundancy is the RAID 6 mentioned in hardware. At present, the loss of a node means that your object storage is unavailable, as they do no replicate data between nodes, hence you can start from just a single node in Object First.

I hope to see a future trade off of capacity for device redundancy!

As far as I have understood them, the cluster options are planned to be improved and increased. So, I think the data redundancy will be improved, too.
