Inspur Launches Unified Storage Architecture, Mid-Range Hybrid and AFAs

Inspur Systems released a series of storage products including the mid-range storage AS5000G5 series with centralized architecture, as well as the performance P series, the high-density H series, and the flexible X series with distributed architecture.

Inspur and Intel jointly launch all-flash storage systems with dual-port Optane SSD
AS5000G5-F is an all-flash storage product featuring the dual-port Optane SSD. With the Optane SSD as the fast cache layer, it combines technologies such as intelligent data layering, on-board hardware acceleration and online compression/deduplication, which achieves up to eight million IO/s and a latency of 0.1ms, representing a high performance mid-range storage systems.

Meanwhile, the multi-device management platform InView and the active prediction technology AIO/s enable a 14-day prediction accuracy rate of up to 95% or more.

“Driven by new technologies such as cloud computing, big data, AI, and 5G, as well as the pursuit of data value, enterprises are increasing their demands for data response speeds,” said Li Hui, GM, storage product line, Inspur. “According to statistics, real-time data will account for 24.5% of global data by 2023, which will bring great challenges to storage systems. In response to this trend, Inspur Storage has increased its investment and innovation in SSD media and high-speed interconnection technologies to improve the operating efficiency of major applications in data centers with high-performance, low-latency storage systems.“

Company releases distributed storage systems in multiple forms,
including performance P-series, high-density H-series and flexible X-series:

P series for performance applications: based on the POWER architecture, P series features high frequency CPU (up to 3.8GHz), PCIe 4.0 and high-speed interconnect HBA card, achieves two times 4 million sequential write performance, 1.5 times 4 million sequential read performance, three times 4K random write performance, and 1.3 times 4K random read performance.
H series for massive high-definition video and image: the AS13000G5-H, for example, has a single node capacity of nearly 1PB and is able to carry 256 channels of 1,080p, 4M/s ultra-high-definition video streams for about 90 days of data volume.
X-series for cloud-based elastic deployment: the AS13000G5-X, for example, is a single distributed storage system that can simultaneously carry instance data on the cloud, local real-time data, and archived data to achieve data lifecycle management.

At present, the company’s storage platforms have been deployed in a number of petabyte-scale storage projects and applied to China Mobile‘s distributed block storage. In an urban smart transportation project, the firm’s storage solution supports 6,000-channel video streaming and provides 108 nodes and 20PB of capacity.

In a city’s highway toll collection system project, the all-flash storage system enables a response time of 0.1ms, resulting in an average daily business processing volume of one million transactions.
