Quobyte is a scale-out NAS (network-attached storage) solution entirely software-based that you can deploy anywhere – on any x86 server, any cloud. That way you can manage 10s of petabytes of data with ease while spending less time on storage.

Unparalleled Simplicity

Quobyte was designed with one goal in mind: to make your life easier. That’s why we made Quobyte so simple that you can download and install it in minutes. Once it’s running you’ll enjoy the ease of use of real software storage, even at scale.

Scalable High-Performance

Run your storage 24/7 with no maintenance windows – thanks to Quobyte’s 100% non-disruptive operations. Perform software updates, repair broken hardware, add/remove servers, run rebalances, and complete data movement all while your storage delivers full performance.

Enterprise Features with 360 Security

Deliver enterprise NAS convenience to your users like snapshots, automatic provisioning, access from all platforms (Linux, Mac, Windows, Hadoop), and security that goes far beyond traditional NAS: End-to-end data encryption, unified ACLs, TLS, X.509 certificates, and more to protect your data from unauthorized access.

NAS Consolidation Made Easy

Save time and money by consolidating your network-attached storage (NAS) with Quobyte. Multi-tenancy with optional hardware isolation, a self-service portal for your users, API for automation, and thin provisioning with oversubscription are just a few of the features that will allow you to offer a cloud-like experience to your users.

Deploy Anywhere®

Use any x86 server or the public cloud to deploy Quobyte or use a hybrid approach combining both on-prem and the cloud. Whichever you choose, Quobyte gives you and your users the same environment, no matter where your infrastructure is located.

Real Software Storage = Real Business Benefits

Quobyte helps us take our business to the next level without further ado; we can just add resources without the planning overhead – a true competitive advantage!​

Quobyte Features For Scale-out Network Attached Storage (NAS)

Additional Features

Run your storage 24/7 with no maintenance windows – thanks to Quobyte’s 100% non-disruptive operations. Perform software updates, repair broken hardware, add/remove servers, run rebalances, and complete data movement all while your storage delivers full performance.

Quobyte runs on-prem or in the cloud. With our tools like volume mirroring and the data mover you can sync clusters in different data centers, including in the cloud. Read more about the Quobyte data mover here.

Let your users decide how they want to access their data. Quobyte’s unique single namespace lets users share data between the two protocols simultaneously. No need to copy data between storage silos and waste resources.

Access the same data via any protocol: Linux, Windows, macOS, Object/S3, HDFS, and more.

Quobyte brings all the features you need to maximize the investment in GPUs: scale-out performance for consistent low latency at scale, optimal handling of small (metadata) files and larger data files, and a native TensorFlow plugin.

Automatic and transparent tiering between media types and clusters. Plus automatic re-coding for archival.

All aspects of Quobyte can be controlled through the API, making it easy to automate storage operations from provisioning volumes to charge back to users.

Protect your storage from unauthorized access without having to trust the network. Admins can restrict certificates to specific users, similar to a root squash. This allows users that have root access on their workstations to access the storage as just that user.

Quobyte comes with a range of enterprise-level security features for demanding HPC applications, e.g. when HIPAA compliance is needed, or when dealing with personal data: End-to-end AES encrypted volumes, NFSv4 ACLs that are enforced across all platforms or TLS protected communication.

Quobyte quotas have been designed for scalability and minimal performance impact. Admins can configure quotas per storage tier for capacity, the number of files, and volumes for users, groups, a volume, or tenants. Default quotas can be configured on the same levels, per tenant.

Snapshots creation and expiration can be configured through policies and by volume (e.g. only for home volumes). Snapshots are user-accessible and are connected to S3/object versions.

Quobyte supports LDAP for the management layer, for the file system (client-side translation), and for S3 access keys.
