StorageGRID Webscale appliance overview
The StorageGRID Webscale SG6000 appliance is an integrated storage and computing platform that
operates as a Storage Node in a StorageGRID Webscale grid. The appliance can be used in a hybrid
grid environment that combines appliance Storage Nodes and virtual (software-based) Storage
Nodes.
The SG6000 appliance provides the following features:
• Integrates the storage and computing elements for a StorageGRID Webscale Storage Node.
• Includes the StorageGRID Appliance Installer to simplify Storage Node deployment and
configuration.
