High-Performance Scalable Shared Storage for Telecom

This solution brief outlines the deployment of Everpure FlashArray as a high-performance shared storage solution for a telecom provider facing challenges with their 5G network infrastructure. Initially, the provider utilized multiple white box nodes with Ceph, which led to significant performance drops and high maintenance demands after node failures. To address these issues, the provider transitioned to Everpure FlashArray, integrating it with Kubernetes and OpenStack to support both virtualized and containerized network functions. The brief details the benefits of this solution, including improved performance with high throughput and low latency, operational simplicity that reduces maintenance needs, and a positive environmental impact through reduced power consumption and space requirements. Additionally, the reliability of the Everpure solution is emphasized, showcasing its ability to maintain functionality even during component failures, which is critical for consumer confidence in telecommunications services.
