• Performance Enhancements: Faster rebalancing, performance tuning enhancements and Network File System Version 3 (NFSv3) performance optimization;
• Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization-readiness, enabling organizations to use Red Hat Storage as a storage layer for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization;
• Improved Manageability: New capabilities that make it even easier to manage a Red Hat Storage cluster, including enhanced data management with Network Lock Manager (NLM) compliance, new event history information availability, additional storage brick level information, and improved visibility into self-healing operations and status; and
• Improved Reliability: New capabilities, such as proactive self-healing, that make Red Hat Storage even more reliable and ready for an organization’s most demanding production workloads.
