Storage solutions provider, StorTrends from American Megatrends, has released the StorTrends 3600i family of all-flash SAN arrays designed to meet the needs of performance-intensive applications with prices starting at 50 cents per Gigabyte.
The family of all-flash arrays utilize two different types of solid state drives – one designed for write performance and the other optimized for read performance – boasting higher performance and extended SSD endurance when compared to competitive flash arrays.
The StorTrends 3600i is delivered out-of-the-box with an all-inclusive feature set that is comprised of inline deduplication and compression, enlift caching, advanced snapshots, automated data tiering, active/active or active/passive configuration, WAN optimization, and SSD based data encryption. The StorTrends 3600i series is available with Write Tier SSD capacities of 200 GB, 400 GB, 800 GB, and 2 TB as well as Read Tier SSD capacities of 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB.
“Until today, the vast majority of customers have been shy of all-flash storage primarily due to the cost. AMI has broken down this barrier by offering all-flash storage for less than $0.50 per GB. This is due to the highly efficient data deduplication, compression and enlift caching technology that is offered within the StorTrends 3600i series,” says Justin Bagby, director of StorTrends Division at American Megatrends. “For organizations that are considering making the move to an all-flash array, please download the StorTrends iDATA tool and let it show you the savings and performance requirements your infrastructure needs before investing into an all-flash array. The StorTrends iDATA tool will provide you with an estimated dedupe ratio while also telling you how much active data versus cold data you have within your environment. This will allow you and your team to plan appropriately and avoid being over-or-under sold by a vendor.”
Available now, the StorTrends 3600i all-flash array has an MSRP starting at $24,999. StorTrends solutions are sold with the StorAID Support program, which includes 24 x 7 technical phone support and next business day onsite replacement. The StorAID Plus Support program adds 4 Hour On-Site and a spare parts kit to the Standard StorAID program.†For more information, visit: StorTrends 3600i.
