4 is a go!!! – SUSE Enterprise Storage 4 goes GA

At SUSECON 2016 we announced SUSE Enterprise Storage 4 to the world and today I am pleased to say that the latest and greatest version of the product is generally available.

Version 4 highlights:

• Reduced capital and operational spending for storage infrastructure via a truly unified block, object and files solution with the production-ready Ceph file system (CephFS).
• Expanded hardware choice for enterprise and hyper-scale customers with support for 64-bit ARM.
• An advanced graphical user interface for simplified management and improved cost efficiency using the openATTIC open source storage management system.
• Better data protection and improved disaster recovery via long-distance replication for block storage and multisite object storage replication.
• Improved cluster orchestration using Salt for simplified storage cluster management.
• Technical preview access to NFS Ganesha support and NFS access to S3 buckets.

SUSE Enterprise Storage 4 is the industry leader on price and allows you to make significant savings (>50% in most instances) when compared to a comparable solutions from EMC, VMware, Scality, Netapp, IBM or Redhat  (to name but a few).
