Data storgae maker StorTrends has released the new 3600i family of all-flash SAN arrays, which are claimed to offer enhanced performance at a lower cost.
One of the solid state drives is designed for write performance, with the other designed for read performance, which the company claim boosts performance and extends SSD endurance.
StorTrends 3600i family of products has been designed for performance-intensive applications for virtualised environments, with prices starting at 50 Cents per Gigabyte, the company said.
Achieving significant energy savings, the StorTrends 3600i leverages state-of-the-art deduplication and compression. It 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 optimisation for unparalleled replication speeds and SSD based data encryption
The StorTrends 3600i family 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," said Justin Bagby, Director of StorTrends Division at American Megatrends.
