SanDisk and Supermicro have announced a strategic alliance to bring out a unique class of next-generation software-defined all-flash storage solutions for the data centre. At the core of this collaboration are SanDisk’s InfiniFlash System — a high-capacity and extreme-performance flash-based storage system and Supermicro’s leading high-performance servers. The joint solution aligns with the growth of disaggregated data centres propelled by Big Data and cloud environments. These solutions will also be made available with Nexenta’s flagship Open SDS unified file and block storage platform, and the NexentaStor platform.

InfiniFlash is a next-generation storage platform created by SanDisk offering 5x the density, 50x the performance and 4x the reliability, while consuming 80 percent less power than traditional HDD arrays. InfiniFlash also delivers breakthrough pricing for an all-flash hardware solution starting at less than $1 per gigabyte (GB) for an all-flash system without requiring compression or de-duplication technologies.

SCALE OUT
The InfiniFlash IF500 for Openstack/CEPH combined with Supermicro servers significantly lowers the cost of private cloud data storage in a petabyte-scale OpenStack environment. Scaling out adds compute and storage capacity nodes to an existing configuration, delivering a massive capacity, high-density, all-flash storage system with scalable performance and breakthrough economics for customers with big data storage requirements.

SCALE UP
Nexenta software plus Supermicro and InfiniFlash IF100 System brings proven legacy storage functionality to Enterprise and Cloud customers, for workloads such as File, Print, Cloud Backend and general Shared Virtual Infrastructure. This all-flash joint solution provides data centre customers with a pre-tested, full-featured, cost-effective, high-performance system for addressing today’s increasing challenges. Capable of scaling up to four Petabyte (PB) configurations, this solution delivers the industry’s best value for high-performance, mature, unified block and file services featuring ultra-low and consistent sub-millisecond response times and more than 8 Million flash IOPS in a rack.

“Our partnership with Supermicro and Nexenta brings the best of both worlds to data centres: breakthrough economics compared to traditional all-flash array deployments, and dramatically higher performance, improved reliability and lower power consumption compared to hard disk drive-based arrays,” said Ravi Swaminathan, vice president and general manager, System and Software Solutions, SanDisk. “These offerings will enable customers to economically deploy flash at petabyte-scale, which will drive business growth through new services and offerings for their end-customers.”
