- 7. Why Persistent Storage for Containers? Base: 194 IT operations and development decision-makers at enterprises inAPAC, EMEA, and NorthAmerica Source:A commissioned study conducted by ForresterConsulting on behalf of Red Hat, January 2015 “For which workloads or application use cases have you used/do you anticipate to use containers?” Scalable, Cost Effective, Distributed Storage for Containers
- 8. Driving the Future of Storage • Dedicated storage cluster for containerized and PaaS environments • Supported for OpenShift Enterprise RHGS Container • Containerized Red Hat Gluster Storage serving storage from a dedicated storage cluster • Optimized for applications running on RHEL 7, OpenShift Enterprise, and RHEL Atomic Host • Containerized Red Hat Gluster Storage inside OpenShift Enterprise hyper converged with application containers • Red Hat Gluster Storage cluster comprised of disks from multiple nodes in a container cluster Convergence of Storage and Compute Nov 2015 March 2016 Summer 2016

- 12. BENEFITS • New agilities allowed telco to bring a new offering to market faster and cheaper than ever • Lower cost than traditional storage and avoiding an endless commitment to proprietary vendors • Flexible, geo-replicated architecture can grow and shrink dynamically • Option to be tuned for price or performance (or a blend) HYPER CONVERGED STORAGE • Applications and storage can co-exist on the same hardware • Allows for higher server utilization and lowers operational costs • Storage generates only 3%–10% overhead on compute servers Customer Success
