QuantaStor v6.6.11 brings Seagate CORVAULT, Western Digital Data24, and Scalability Improvements

QuantaStor v6.6.11 delivers key scalability improvements focused on large-scale Ceph deployments, Seagate CORVAULT integration, and support for the latest generation of Western Digital Data24 NVMe-oF JBOFs.

Key Highlights

1. Optimized Ceph Scale-Out Performance for Large Object Environments
QuantaStor v6.6.8 significantly enhances performance and scalability for large object storage deployments. Improvements include optimized grid logic to better support clusters with hundreds of thousands of buckets and optimized pool settings for hybrid scale-out pools. These updates improve performance and operational efficiency at scale.

2. Enhanced Seagate CORVAULT Monitoring and Stability
This release also adds more proactive alerting for CORVAULT systems enabling faster issue detection and remediation while also reducing unnecessary polling overhead.

3. Support for Western Digital Data24 Gen 4 NVMe-oF JBOFs
Western Digital’s latest generation of Data24 JBOFs come in two varieties, the Data24 41xx series and the 42xxx series. The main difference between the two is that the 42xx series is designed for use with dual-ported NVMe usefule for HA failover architectures like QuantaStor’s Scale-up configurations (using OpenZFS) whereas the 41xx series can use a wider variety of NVMe media and is ideal for scale-out architectures like our QuantaStor Scale-out configurations (using Ceph). With this update we’ve updated our documentation on how to deploy and configure new systems using the Data24 and we’ve updated our integration module for the same so you can see and configure the hardware directly within QuantaStor via our ‘external systems’ integration module for the platform.
