An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
When we first covered SoftIron in May 2019, the company focused on purpose-built custom hardware for the open-source Ceph software-designed storage technology.
We next wrote about SoftIron in March 2021, the company had rounded out its approach to data center infrastructure by combining optimized hardware, its own flavor of Linux, standard Ceph SDS, along with integrated management and support.
Today, SoftIron has leveraged its expertise building server technology from the motherboard on up to deliver a fully integrated cloud platform that occupies as little as half a rack but can also scale indefinitely.
Other ‘cloud in a box’ offerings have come and gone of the years. What makes SoftIron special is that it architects and builds the technology in its own factories.
As a result, SoftIron offers hardened, verifiable security at the hardware and firmware layers. It also delivers a fully integrated platform that supports multitenancy and a control plane that manages stateless compute and storage resources.
Furthermore, its half-rack minimum configuration makes SoftIron suitable for edge mini-data centers in corporate server rooms, retail phone closets, or other near edge locations.
