Scality RING Room for Improvement

Guillaume Lapouge - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Architect at Claranet France

It's a very good product, but for large-scale usage, it has limitations.

Scality RING's lack of extensive testing and potential hidden limitations.

While Scality provides precise architecture guidelines for sizing the storage infrastructure, Orange utilizes a different processor architecture for its Ovi servers, requiring additional optimization beyond what Scality offers. In essence, the product lacks third-party optimization capabilities.

Scality RING8 could improve by having more features. We have to use two automation tools to meet our needs. We would prefer to use only one.

If I had to choose a new aspect for the system, it would be the rebalancing. The ease of use during capacity upgrades would be the most important improvement. I don't know if they manage it better right now or not, but it was really horrible to extend capacity on Scality at the time that I used it.

When you add new servers in the node or ring, Scality does rebalancing to split the workload across all the nodes and servers. It moves the data from one server to another.
