Scality’s Maestro manages ARTESCA fleets Scality’s new Maestro product manages multiple installations of ARTESCA cloud object storage. ARTESCA is an S3-compatible, cloud-native version of Scality’s RING object storage. Maestro is a fleet management platform purpose-built for service providers operating large numbers of Scality ARTESCA object storage deployments on behalf of their customers. They offer backup-as-a-service (BaaS) and, at scale, managing tens to hundreds of individual object storage deployments spread across customer sites, each requiring monitoring, maintenance, and billing reconciliation, becomes burdensome. Scality Senior Product Director Thomas Danan said: “Service providers building BaaS businesses on Scality ARTESCA are managing infrastructure at a scale that demands enterprise-grade operational tooling. Maestro was built with our SCSP partners to solve the real operational problems they face every day with centralised visibility, automated management, and the billing infrastructure to run a sustainable managed service. The fact that it requires no VPN and no network reconfiguration on the customer side was a hard requirement from day one.” Scality says service providers need a single pane of glass to monitor health, push firmware and software updates, track capacity utilisation across all customer sites, and do so without requiring VPN tunnels into every customer environment. Maestro has been co-developed with cloud and service provider partners (SCSP), and is now in production use across customer deployments. It provides: - Centralised health monitoring and alerting across the entire Scality ARTESCA fleet, - End-to-end management down to the hardware layer, including ARTESCA software upgrades and server firmware updates, - Aggregated capacity utilisation data across all customer deployments, enabling automated pay-as-you-go billing, - Out-of-band connectivity architecture that eliminates VPN requirements, as all traffic flows from ARTESCA to Maestro, never the reverse, - Support for enterprises managing ARTESCA across branch offices or distributed edge locations. Scality Maestro 1.1 is generally available and supports all Scality ARTESCA deployments running version 4.0.3 or later. It is currently available as an on-premises deployment, with a SaaS delivery model planned for future release. More information available here
