OCZ and IceWEB Storage Corporation today announced that OCZ’s Talos 2 SAS SSDs and Deneva 2 SATA III SSDs will be deployed across IceWEB’s line of unified data storage systems. OCZ SSDs will also be used for IceWEB’s IceCAP Cache Acceleration Protocol, automated tiering, and pure SSD disk tiers.
OCZ and IceWEB Storage Corporation today announced that OCZ’s Talos 2 SAS SSDs and Deneva 2 SATA III SSDs will be deployed across IceWEB’s line of unified data storage systems. OCZ SSDs will also be used for IceWEB’s IceCAP Cache Acceleration Protocol, automated tiering, and pure SSD disk tiers.
IceWEB now offers four solutions that include Talos 2 SAS SSDs or Deneva 2 SATA III SSDs:
- IceWEB 2000 optimizes file and block data storage utilization in cloud and virtual environments for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
- IceWEB 3000 provides reliable backup and disaster recovery or high-density storage of unstructured video.
- IceWEB 6000 provides high availability for mission-critical environments leveraging a highly redundant dual controller for cost savings and storage optimization with virtualization, snapshots and thin provisioning.
- IceWEB 7000 provides highly redundant and scalable unified storage to support mission-critical applications and unstructured data in data center and cloud environments.
OCZ Talos 2 SSDs provide a 6Gb/s SAS interface, capacities up to 1TB, 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factors, and are designed specifically for mixed workloads in enterprise environments, with specified performance of 70,000 IOPS (random 4K reads) and 54,000 IOPS for mixed 4K workloads. Talos 2 SSDs are dual-ported to provide redundant data paths and support OCZ’s DataWrite Assurance data protection in case of sudden power loss.
OCZ Deneva 2 SSDs provide a 6Gb/s SATA III interface, capacities up to 480GB, 1.8-inch, 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factors, and are suited for write-intensive high performance computing (HPC) environments. According to OCZ’s benchmarks, Deneva 2 SSDs deliver 80,000 IOPS (random 4K writes) with a maximum throughput of 525 MB/s. DataWrite Assurance data protection is also supported with the Deneva 2.
Both SSDs feature enterprise-critical functions not available in OCZ’s consumer product lines, including minimal write amplification, intelligent block management and wear-leveling. Talos 2 and Deneva 2 SSDs offer AES-128/256 encryption support and advanced error correction coding (ECC).
