The Hedvig Distributed Storage Platform: Modern software-defined storage
The Hedvig Distributed Storage Platform is a highly scalable software-based solution designed to transform how you deliver storage to your enterprise. Harnessing the power of distributed systems, the simplicity of cloud, and a complete set of enterprise capabilities, Hedvig lets you tailor a modern, high-performance, elastic storage system built with low-cost commodity hardware to support any application, hypervisor, container, or cloud.
One platform for any application
The Hedvig Distributed Storage Platform provides a single, unified storage solution supporting block, file, and object protocols. For data center teams modernizing legacy apps as well as deploying new apps, Hedvig provides a consistent data management and provisioning experience.
Implicitly hybrid and fully programmable
Hedvig software deploys on-premise and in public clouds, creating an implicitly hybrid storage system. A full set of APIs enables developers to build self-service portals and custom integrations.
Hedvig Storage Architecture
The Hedvig Distributed Storage Platform predictably and dynamically scales storage performance and capacity with off-the-shelf x86 and ARM servers.

Hedvig Storage Proxy
The Hedvig Storage Proxy provides a lightweight access and client-side caching layer that runs as a guest VM or Docker container. The Storage Proxy delivers data services to any compute environment including VMware® vSphere, Microsoft® Hyper-V, KVM, and Xen environments – and includes OpenStack support via Cinder. Now you can consolidate and meet all of your storage needs without any change to your applications.
Storage protocols:
- Block: iSCSI
- File: NFS
- Object: Swift and S3
Hedvig APIs
Every feature of the Hedvig Distributed Storage Platform is available to cloud and application developers via RESTful application programming interfaces (API).
