KIOXIA Expands KumoScale Software Suite with Resilient Provisioner Service

By on

A recent press release reports, “KIOXIA America, Inc. (formerly Toshiba Memory America, Inc.), the U.S.-based subsidiary of KIOXIA Corporation, today announced that its KumoScale™ storage software based on NVM Express™ over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) now includes a distributed, resilient provisioner service. KumoScale Provisioner Service joins the software suite’s intelligent control plane, which manages the entire fleet of KumoScale storage nodes. KumoScale Provisioner Service works by tracking the fleet of SSDs and KumoScale storage nodes and managing the dynamic mapping of user volumes to nodes and physical drives. The new service facilitates the adaptation of the KumoScale API to work with any provisioning tool or orchestration framework used to manage cloud infrastructures.”

The release goes on, “Kubernetes® has become the de facto standard framework for intelligently assigning containerized applications to compute resources. Similarly, the new KumoScale Provisioner Service handles the intelligent assignment of data volumes to storage resources. ‘What Kubernetes® does for containers, KumoScale Provisioner Service does for storage volumes,’ noted Joel Dedrick, vice president and general manager, networked storage software, KIOXIA America, Inc. ‘The provisioner service acts as the gateway to the entire fleet of KumoScale storage nodes. It removes the guesswork associated with storage allocation, and automatically provides the right amount of capacity and performance to each application workload, within the cloud data center’.”
