The sign along the roads in
some suburbs says SPEED KILLS. But what kills an enterprise network these days
is trying to move data fast enough in virtualised environments, or in heavy
video environments, or in Big Data applications (where you are under pressure
to make rapid decisions on what the data is telling you).
In the avenues and lanes
around the data centre, those road signs should read: SPEED SAVES.
Whiptail, maker of high
performance 100% solid state silicon storage arrays, launches Invicta with up to 72TB of NAND Flash capacity of next gen
silicon storage array that provides highly scalable IOPS (beyond 600,000),
extreme bandwidth (beyond 6 GB/s), symmetric read/write, and ultra low latency in
a multi tenant, multi protocol environment.
“It delivers the highest
sustained write throughput in the industry, which is critical for high velocity
Big Data. Supporting all standard storage networking and file protocols, it
introduces many new enterprise features, as well as unprecedented investment
protection,” notes Brian Feller, VP Sales & Marketing at Whiptail.
Enterprise features include
management from within VMWare vCenter, support for VAAI and Whiptail’s Silicon
Storage Router that manages host
connectivity and data protection, and more.
There’s also Data
Protection that ensures continuous access to data while protecting against
power outages, hardware or site failure.
But the heart of Invicta
(and Whiptail itself) is performance: the key to success in today’s world of
storage server sprawl is higher performance for VDI, Big Data and cloud
computing.
