ScaleO Ready Node supports both traditional two-tier and hyper-converged application deployments in any combination in the same software defined storage service.

This provides an “easy path to the software-defined, hyper-converged data center,” according to Dell EMC.

The SSD drives within the ScaleIO Ready Node  work in parallel to help eliminate performance bottlenecks.

The ability to take advantage of the aggregate performance of the SSDs in a single node makes it possible for performance to scale linearly as nodes are added,” the company said. “For applications that require ultra-high performance, the all-flash configurations support critical enterprise applications, back-up.”
