TAIPEI, Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- InfortrendĀ®
Technology, Inc. (TWSE: 2495), the industry-leading enterprise
storage provider, upgraded software for its storage products to
prevent simultaneous failure of multiple SSDs, eliminate risks of
data loss, and extend SSD lifespan.
More and more enterprises are looking to SSD for increasing
datacenter performance as SSDs make data access almost
instantaneous. HDD, on the other hand, is a considerably less
expensive technology providing massive capacity for Big Data. When
it comes to prolonging service lifetime of storage, there are
different approaches to HDDs and SSDs. HDDs are more sensitive to
physical conditions, such as external temperature, powering, proper
ejection, etc. SSD lifespan is more predictable and depends on
Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD), measuring how many times a user can
rewrite an entire SSD every day throughout its warrantied lifetime.
While predictability is in a sense convenient, but it also creates
a possibility of simultaneous failure of multiple SSDs, imposing a
higher risk of data loss.
To ensure well data protection, Infortrend's upgraded software
that prevents SSDs from failing at the same time. Infortrend RAID
algorithm "unbalances" write data between SSDs, so that SSDs have
different write times, and, therefore, different lifespan left.
Moreover, with "UNMAP" command supported, unused free space can be
reclaimed from the storage, which improves wear-leveling to sustain
long-term SSD endurance and performance. Finally, SSD lifespan
monitoring function alerts users when SSD lifespan is about to end
and allows timely SSD replacement.
"We upgraded software for our storage products for preventing
occurrence of multiple SSD failure and optimizing SSD lifespan.
Enterprises can rely completely on Infortrend storage and be sure
in integrity of their valuable data," said Frank Lee, Senior Director of Product
Planning.
