Nimbus Data Systems has unveiled its HALO 2013 software, targeting public and private cloud architects looking to build all-flash memory infrastructures.
HALO 2013 is the brand's latest enhancement to its storage operating system, which provides analytics to gauge the performance and efficiency of Nimbus Data flash memory arrays.
"HALO 2013 extends Nimbus Data's software leadership in the all-flash space," says Thomas Isakovich, CEO and founder of Nimbus Data. "By providing the most in-depth system analytics and an open framework with which to record this data and administer every aspect of the Nimbus all-flash infrastructure, cloud architects and enterprise customers alike gain greater insight into their infrastructure while keeping administration on their terms, not the vendor's."
HALO 2013 features real-time monitoring and reporting capabilities, tracking, flash endurance, latency, power consumption and overall system health, among other features. Customers can view detailed statistics via a Web interface or can use HALO Mobile to stream live statistics directly to iOS or Android-based smartphones and tablets.
According to Nimbus Data, HALO 2013 will allow cloud infrastructure architects to integrate administration and monitoring into the rest of their data centre infrastructure via a REST-based application programming interface.
"At Nimbus Data, we believe an open multi-vendor approach is essential to cost-optimising data centres," concludes Isakovich.
HALO 2013 is free to all existing Nimbus Data customers with active support contracts. To obtain the update, visit the Nimbus Skyline portal. HALO Mobile is available immediately, for free, on the iTunes Store and on Google Play.
