Partnership Furthers SanDisk’s Commitment to
Drive Innovation and Deliver All-Flash Extreme Performance and
Massive Capacity to Today’s Data Centers
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash
storage solutions, and Supermicro, a global leader in Green
Computing solutions for the data center, cloud and enterprise,
today announced a strategic alliance to bring out a unique class of
next-generation software defined all-flash storage solutions for
the data center. 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 centers 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
hard disk drive (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. With software
stacks that offer data reduction schemes, the effective cost/GB
goes down even more significantly to unprecedented levels (example:
20 cents/GB based on a 5X data reduction factor).
Scale-out Solution
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 Solution
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 center 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 centers: 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.”
“Supermicro end-to-end computing solutions deliver the best
performance, efficiency, scalability and reliability needed in the
rapidly evolving all-flash storage system market,” said Don Clegg,
vice president of Marketing and Business Development, Supermicro.
“Our collaboration with SanDisk and Nexenta to develop integrated,
all-flash based storage solutions accelerates deployment of
next-generation storage technologies, maximizing performance per
watt, per dollar, and per square foot to drive down overall TCO
with our economies of scale.”
“The market-leading combination of NexentaStor OpenSDS solution,
SanDisk’s InfiniFlash solution and Supermicro systems delivers key
differentiators around functionality and performance,” said Tarkan
Maner, CEO of Nexenta. “These solutions literally break new ground
and make all-flash storage economically practical for a wide range
of use cases, from high-performance databases to virtualized
environments, big data lakes and extra dense active archive
repositories.”
