Delivering innovation beyond solutions that can only scale linearly, hScaler enables organizations to scale both storage and compute independently, allowing you to implement a solution without costly overprovisioning that fits both your workload and budget. As your Hadoop environment grows, scale from hundreds to thousands of nodes and to dozens of petabytes of capacity. The hScaler appliance is supported end-to-end by DDN’s world-class support and services, making Hadoop headache free. Only hScaler puts you in charge of your Big Data, enabling you to understand your business better and faster than ever before.

...DDN has indeed taken the most storage-centric approach of all of the Hadoop appliance vendors. If I believed that intelligent storage could solve all IT problems (and I do), the DDN hScaler is what I’d come up with. It eschews the commonly accepted notion among Hadoop developers that storage has to be distributed across the processing nodes that make up the Hadoop computing cluster.

DDN and Hortonworks have developed a Hadoop solution that is all about time to value: It simplifies rollout so that enterprises can get up and running more quickly, provides typical DDN performance to accelerate data processing, and reduces the amount of time needed to maintain a Hadoop solution. For enterprises with a deluge of data but a limited IT budget, hScaler should be on the short list of potential solutions.— Dave Vellante, Chief Research Officer, Wikibon.org
Appliance approach enables deploying in hours, not days. Highest performance compute & storage runs Hadoop up to 7X Faster.
Requires significantly less hardware than commodity approaches.
Leading performance and density mean 4X less hardware, rack space, power & cooling.
With DirectMon™, the powerful & simple cluster management framework.
Reduces downtime and eliminates finger pointing with world class support delivered by Big Data experts.

DataDirect built hScaler to meet the speed and performance needs of those customers while offering ease of use for enterprise customers keen on Hadoop. Speed aside, hScaler stands out because it does away with direct-attached storage and incorporates RAID architecture instead. It lets users scale computing and storage resources independent of one another, precluding the chore of swapping out a server when a disk fails.
Enables you to manage one or dozens of DDN systems from a single point.
