Kaminario, a provider of DRAM storage appliances for business applications, has introduced K2 DRAM storage appliance that meets the scalability requirements of customers of all sizes.
The new offering uses Kaminario’s modular Scale-out Performance Architecture (SPEAR), which enables flexible scaling of the K2’s performance and/or capacity.
The K2 DRAM storage appliance capacity scales to 12 TBs, which enables businesses and organizations of all sizes to take advantage of the 2 to 25 times greater performance for their demanding I/O-intensive apps including OLTP and databases including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or Sybase.
The offering is also a solid-state device with true N+1 high availability, including mirrored storage with automatic data recovery, redundant Fibre Channel connectivity and a UPS, to reduce the risk of losing data access, the company said.
Further, the K2 SPEAR architecture allows companies to independently scale out capacity, performance or both as needed; entry-level, high-availability K2 system can be configured with 500 GB of storage and deliver 150,000 IOPS with 1.6 GB/s throughput; and can scale up to 12 TB and deliver 1.5 million IOPS with 16 GB/s throughput.
Kaminario CEO Dani Golan said the market response to Kaminario’s K2 in its first months of availability has been very strong.
"Enterprises struggling with application performance issues due to I/O bottlenecks are discovering they can realise a faster ROI and lower TCO by deploying a high-performance storage appliance rather than opting for expensive system upgrades or tuning," Golan said.
