SolidFire, a provider performance storage for cloud service providers, has released SF6010, a new addition to the company’s product line that helps cloud providers to offer a broader set of customer applications.

The high-density all-SSD system in the SF6010 doubles capacity allowing cloud service providers to host more applications.

The new node has a raw capacity of 6 TB, twice the capacity of the SF3010, and an effective capacity of 24 TB when considering SolidFire’s use of in-line deduplication, compression and thin provisioning.

SolidFire SF6010 will enable cloud providers to create high-density single-instance storage environments of 2.4 PB and 5 million IOPS.

The SF6010 is available as part of the SolidFire Early Access Program.

SolidFire Marketing vice president Jay Prassl said the release of the SF6010 allows the company to address a wider market segment and enables cloud providers to deliver guaranteed storage resources to a larger set of applications in their cloud.

"We strive to support the largest SSD capacities commonly available and continue to drive performance and capacity improvements into the product. This allows us to deliver the best price/performance value proposition to our customers," said Prassl.
