FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AccelStor
Introduces the NeoSapphire 3505 1U All-Flash Array with 500K Sustained
IOPS and InfiniBand Connectivity
5
Terabytes of High-Performance Flash Storage in Compact 1U Form Factor
November
5, 2015, Taipei, Taiwan – AccelStor,
the software-defined all-flash array provider, announces its latest
flash appliance, NeoSapphire 3505, a 1U rack-mount storage appliance
featuring 500K sustained IOPS performance with 5TB usable storage
capacity and high-speed InfiniBand connectivity. Utilizing AccelStor’s
FlexiRemap flash-management software technology, the compact,
high-value 1U flash appliance saves rack space while providing
outstanding I/O performance without costly proprietary hardware. The
NeoSapphire 3505’s high-throughput, InfiniBand connectivity allows the
full performance of all-flash acceleration to be realized.
500K
Sustained IOPS in 1U Rack Space
Through the power of FlexiRemap technology, AccelStor NeoSapphire 3505
is able to fit an impressive 500K sustained IOPS for 4KB random writes
into a space-saving 1U rack-mount form factor. Few 1U array models in
the market can archive this kind of high IOPS performance. Businesses
with densely packed data centers can fit more performance into the same
rack infrastructure for high-performance computing, cloud optimization,
and database acceleration.
High-Speed
InfiniBand Connectivity
The NeoSapphire 3505 features an InfiniBand FDR 56Gb/s QSFP interface
to unlock the full performance of all-flash storage, which is a perfect
choice for high-performance computing applications. InfiniBand uses
Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) to reduce protocol-processing
overhead, increasing throughput to tens of gigabits per second and
decreasing latencies to sub-microsecond.
Fault-Tolerant
Storage Solution
Powered by FlexiRemap technology, NeoSapphire 3505 provides peace of
mind through redundant power supplies and automatic data reconstruction
when drives are replaced. Having two redundant power supplies means if
one goes out the system keeps on running. The NeoSapphire series’
FlexiRemap architecture offers a comparable protection level to RAID 5
but without a performance penalty, and data will be transparently
recreated when one of the hot-swappable SSDs is replaced, keeping the
NeoSapphire 3505 running smoothly with no downtime.
Lower
Total Cost of Ownership
Starting from $49,900, NeoSapphire 3505 breaks the price-performance
barrier for all-flash arrays. All-flash arrays represent the pinnacle
of storage acceleration, but their premium prices have been prohibitive
until now. NeoSapphire 3505 offers 500K sustained IOPS for 4KB random
writes and 5TB of usable capacity for under fifty thousand dollars,
providing real Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) savings for new tiers of
business applications. With lower power consumption and cooling costs
than hard-disk based storage, and a tiny 1U rack-mount footprint,
return on investment is improved and comes faster than ever.
“High-performance
computing has been an expanding market segment with unique demands on
storage performance,” comments Charles Tsai, Ph.D. and
President of AccelStor, Inc. “AccelStor
provides best-in-class products to support those I/O-intensive
applications in high-performance computing. Our latest NeoSapphire 3505
aims to set a new industry benchmark for storage performance with 500K
sustained IOPS in a 1U form factor and a price point below $50,000.”
