Scality RING 6.0

The Scality RING 6.0 is a scale-out software-defined storage platform from San Francisco-based Scality that is designed to power storage clouds. It turns any standard x86 servers into web-scale storage. The RING allows service providers to store any amount of data, of any type, with guaranteed 100 percent reliability. It currently serves more than 500 million end users worldwide with more than 800 billion objects in production, the company said. 

The RING scales out with demand, and lets service providers and other channel partners deploy cost-effective cloud storage for unstructured data-intensive applications such as voice mail, mobile video, messaging, medical imagery and more, which often involve millions of simultaneous requests.
