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.

Although software-defined storage can work in and on top of both NAS and SAN environments, it is usually created to perform on the industry common x86 servers. Software-defined storage allows for separation and independence from traditional hardware...
