Innodisk’s FlexiArray SE108 and HD224 Storage Appliances

The secret to the performance advances in Innodisk’s FlexiArray line of storage appliances is the company’s novel FlexiRemap Technology, which deals with the challenges of I/O performance, data endurance and affordability. FlexiRemap, notes Innodisk, innovates in software and firmware, creating a new category of Flashcollaborating storage appliances (in contrast to Flash-aware or Flash-optimized) that deliver sustained high IOPS, even for random write operations. Innodisk’s first storage appliances to leverage this technology, the new FlexiArray SE108 and HD224, are designed to provide cost-effective performance for high-performance computing, cloud computing and I/O bound server applications. Typical application areas include cloud computing, virtualization and HPC. The slim SE108 offers up to 2TB of storage in a 1U-rackmount package; the HD224 provides up to 8TB in a 2U-rackmount unit, with 8x 10GbE SFP+ interfaces. Both units offer redundant hot-swappable SSDs and power modules. http://flexiarray.innodisk.com
