The company claims that the new OS will reduce TCO and enhance functional richness, ease of use and reliability. Key enhancements include SAN Synchronous Replication, Advanced Policy-Based Quality of Service, NAS Asynchronous Replication, and NAS TreeQ.
INFINIDAT came on the scene a few years ago eschewing the typical “add more flash for more performance” mantra. Instead the company relies heavily on software-optimization, leveraging learning algorithms to extract very high performance and reliability out of low-cost hardware, including the same ultra-high capacity drives widely employed by Google, Facebook and other hyperscale cloud operators for large-scale data storage.
With the latest version, the company is continuing on the same software-optimization path. One of the new key features is an advanced, performance-optimized synchronous replication capability that delivers RPO=0 at ultra-low latency and nominal bandwidth consumption, as well as a fully configurable automated fallback to asynchronous replication in the event of a network failure. INFINIDAT has also created a new QoS that allows users to control resource allocation and consumption at a very granular level, while providing a graceful, non-disruptive governance model based on tokenization of resources, and including a “burst allowance” for optimal SLA management.
Availability
InfiniBox R4 is available today for select deployments, and will be generally available later this month.
