CSA - Container Storage Analytics Appliance
Service providers using the CSA appliance could deploy and scale in 2RU 4-node building blocks gaining the following capabilities out of the box:
- Container orchestration using Kubernetes;
- Storage Interface using Port Worx for running stateful applications tested at 950MB /s; and
- Analytics with Machine Learning using Elastic Search

Hyperscalers has developed a Digital-IP Appliance Design Process along with a utility being the Appliance Optimiser Utility which together assists in productizing appliance(s) that enable providers with everything they need (inc. hardware, software, configuration & support) to hyperscale their services quickly, reliably and at a fraction of historical costs.
The problem: Many enterprises who have tried to use Kubernetes for stateful applications at scale have stumbled when using the platform for services like databases, queues, key-value stores, automation and machine learning.
The objective of this project was to pre-engineer, optimise, test and productize an appliance called “CSA” that could solve these enterprise challenges.
The Solution
Service providers using the CSA appliance could deploy and scale in 2RU 4-node building blocks gaining the following capabilities out of the box:
- Container orchestration using Kubernetes;
- Storage Interface using Port Worx for running stateful applications tested at 950MB /s; and
- Analytics with Machine Learning using Elastic Search
