NexGen Storage Expands n5 Series Storage Systems With PCIe SSD
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Fri, July 27th, 2012
From $55,000 to $108,000
NexGen Storage, Inc. announced the expansion of its n5 Series of storage systems with new PCIe solid-state offerings.
The n5 Series offers several solid-state configurations that deliver a range of performance levels and price points, and each n5 system offers 10GbE and 1GbE network options.
With higher performance and capacity in a compact, 3U footprint, the new offerings provide:
"There is tremendous end-user value to be gained from judiciously employing solid-state storage as part of an overall storage approach. Our research indicates a clear shift toward end-users viewing solid-state technology as applicable for increasingly broad data center deployment and usage, and not just for specific applications or isolated workloads," said Mark Peters, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "By offering high-end solid-state capabilities at affordable price points, NexGen's n5 Series solutions are well-positioned to bring that solid-state storage value into mainstream data centers."
Each n5 Series storage system provides active-active HA and delivers the power of NexGen's capabilities, including:
"Organizations can achieve higher storage efficiency along with more consistent performance levels through smart, right-sized solid-state storage deployments," said Rick Merlo, VP of sales, NexGen Storage. "NexGen's n5 Series gives organizations the ability to meet varying performance, capacity and price point requirements."
Pricing and availability
The n5 Series n5-100 and n5-50 systems will be available on August 20, 2012 and the n5-150 system will be available September 30, 2012 through authorized resellers. List pricing will range from $55,000 to $108,000.
The n5 Series offers several solid-state configurations that deliver a range of performance levels and price points, and each n5 system offers 10GbE and 1GbE network options.
With higher performance and capacity in a compact, 3U footprint, the new offerings provide:
- 5x to 10x lower $ per GB than all-SSD arrays with equivalent performance (Based published capacity and list prices from all-SSD array vendors averaged out to $34 per GB raw, vendor prices vary.); and
- 10x more IOPS per rack unit versus disk-based storage systems (Assuming 1 disk drive delivers 210 random small block mixed workload IOPS performance after RAID configuration and a standard system supports up to 10 disk drives per rack U.)
"There is tremendous end-user value to be gained from judiciously employing solid-state storage as part of an overall storage approach. Our research indicates a clear shift toward end-users viewing solid-state technology as applicable for increasingly broad data center deployment and usage, and not just for specific applications or isolated workloads," said Mark Peters, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "By offering high-end solid-state capabilities at affordable price points, NexGen's n5 Series solutions are well-positioned to bring that solid-state storage value into mainstream data centers."
Each n5 Series storage system provides active-active HA and delivers the power of NexGen's capabilities, including:
- Predictable Performance with Storage QoS. Provides predictable, guaranteed application storage performance. IT administrators can set performance levels for all applications and manage performance as easily as capacity.
- Service Levels for Total Control. Automatically shifts resources from non-critical to mission-critical applications as needed to ensure performance is maintained for an organization's more critical applications, even if the system is compromised.
- The Lowest $/GB and $/IOP. Moves data real-time between high-performing solid-state and economical disk drives to offer price/performance.
"Organizations can achieve higher storage efficiency along with more consistent performance levels through smart, right-sized solid-state storage deployments," said Rick Merlo, VP of sales, NexGen Storage. "NexGen's n5 Series gives organizations the ability to meet varying performance, capacity and price point requirements."
