SoftIron has announced HyperSafe to provide enterprise support services for Ceph, the open-source software-defined storage platform.

According to the company, HyperSafe will entail a customer-centric approach that meets organizations and their infrastructure wherever it is.

Services will include migration for those that want to leverage the performance optimizations available with SoftIron’s broad HyperDrive line of storage appliances, as well as enterprise-class services for those who choose to run Ceph on their existing bare-metal infrastructure.

SoftIron will provide customers with flexible service offerings tailored to their particular storage infrastructure needs at a competitive pricing. Options include:

• SoftIron Ceph Support Takeover – Resuming services from a previously existing support vendor.
• SoftIron HyperDrive Migration – Assisting in the migration from a legacy Ceph installation to SoftIron’s HyperDrive appliances.
• Emergency Assistance – Providing as-needed support for enterprises requiring experienced and capable Ceph engineers.
• Transition to SoftIron Linux – Utilization of the only Linux distribution in the world tuned for Ceph performance.
