Transactional database workloads Latency sensitive applications Virtualized Server and VDI Real-Time Big Data Analytics Performance Cloud Storage
Real-time data access is the goal for all IT departments whether they are deploying virtual infrastructure, running business critical applications or performing complex big data analytics. Businesses have chosen to meet this goal on a select set of applications as they are limited by the performance and economic costs of the underlying infrastructure. While servers with advanced multi-core processors and networks with low latency multi-gigabit per second interconnects have kept up, storage has not. Violin Memory 6000 series flash Memory Arrays deliver memory performance at the cost of disk storage.
Simply Accelerate Your Business Violin Memory 6000 series flash Memory Arrays are built from the ground up with multiple controllers to store data on 1000s of individual flash cells in the system. A single array delivers extreme amounts of random IO (up to 1 Million IOPS) and does so with consistent, spike free latency (as low as 100 μsec). This game changing combination of performance and sustained low latency makes the 6000 series the storage of choice for high IOPS scale out virtual infrastructure configurations, transactional business critical applications with stringent response time service level agreements and advanced real-time big data analytics environments.
Dramatically Reduce Infrastructure Costs The all-silicon architecture of the 6000 delivers unparalleled performance density (1 Million IOPS in 3U) enabling the replacement of multiple racks of legacy disk based storage systems. This results in a dramatic reduction in space, power and cooling. The 6000 series ultra-low latency eliminates the time application servers typically waste “waiting for I/O” from the storage subsystem. This maximizes CPU efficiencies, reduces the need for servers, and dramatically lowers application and database license costs. The net benefit is an instant return on investment and more importantly a total cost of ownership that is the lowest of any Tier-1 storage system.
Achieve Mission Critical Reliability All active components in a 6000 enclosure, from the memory gateways, power supplies, array controllers all the way down to the flash memory modules have built-in, hardware controlled, redundancy and are hot swappable. The 6000 series runs Violin Memory Operating System (vMOS), a flash optimized system software that orchestrates data management, data protection and system control of array operations. At the core of vMOS is Violin’s patented hardware accelerated flash RAID engine (vRAID). In addition to RAID functionality, vRAID ensures continuous optimization of the flash media for extended reliability, endurance and performance.
