Hybrid cloud file system appliance provider Ctera has augmented its range with the hyper-converged X Series, which sees its cloud gateway software married to HPE Simplivity hyper-converged hardware.
The product is aimed at larger edge and remote office deployments where a good chunk of compute power is required in addition to be able to tier data off to public cloud storage or private cloud datacentre.
The X Series comes in 2U format hardware with a two-node basic configuration. Ctera’s edge file server software runs as a virtual machine on HPE Simplivity hardware.
