Flash storage solutions provider Nimble Storage has released a new series of predictive all-flash arrays, combining the speed of flash with InfoSight Predictive Analytics.
The Nimble AF-Series all-flash arrays, powered by Samsung 3D V-NAND PM863 Series SSDs, boast fast performance, scalability, and consistent low latency required to power the all-flash data center. The flagship Nimble AF9000 All Flash array delivers performance of up to 350,000 IOPS at sub-millisecond latency and scales effective capacity to over 2PB in just 12U. Further, in scale-out four-node cluster configurations, the AF9000 can non-disruptively and independently scale performance up to 1.2M IOPS and effective capacity to over 8PBs.
Nimble AF-Series All Flash arrays are pre-configured to support enterprise applications and workloads right out of the box. And with InfoSight VMVision and VMware vVols, IT administrators can manage and monitor the storage at VM-level granularity.†
Additionally, the arrays provide advanced flash endurance software, Triple+ Parity RAID, and integrated sparing to extend flash lifespan and reduce overhead inefficiencies.
“With today’s announcements we are putting the storage industry on notice, leapfrogging previous scalability limitations and redefining customer expectations of all flash storage systems,” says Ajay Singh, vice president of product management at Nimble Storage. “Starting today, a Nimble Storage All Flash array scale-out cluster, managed as a single entity, can non-disruptively scale to over 8PBs of effective capacity, delivering more than 1.2 million IOPS at less than 1ms response time. And with advanced data reduction capabilities that include inline variable block deduplication and compression, enterprise IT organizations can scale performance and capacity independently and non-disruptively today and well into the future.”
The Nimble AF-Series is available for order in four models: AF3000, AF5000, AF7000, and AF9000.
