This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 14, 2025 at 2:02 pmXinnor Ltd. have successfully implemented an improved backup and restore system for a U.S. Federal Agency focused on scientific research.This collaboration replaced an outdated HDD-based storage array with a modern solution using Xinnor’s xiRAID technology and NVMe SSDs, significantly improving performance and reliability.
The agency sought to address performance bottlenecks and enhance data throughput to its Spectra Logic, Corp. T950 tape library. Xinnor and Advanced HPC’s solution utilized xiRAID, a software RAID designed for optimal NVMe performance, ensuring data integrity even in the event of multiple drive failures.
“This deployment demonstrates xiRAID’s ability to deliver enhanced performance and robust data protection in critical environments,” said Davide Villa, CRO of Xinnor. “Our collaboration with Advanced HPC has provided the agency with a more efficient and reliable storage solution.”
The new system, featuring 12x30TB and 2×6.4TB Gen4 NVMe SSDs, was configured with xiRAID to meet the agency’s needs for high-speed read and write capabilities, integration with existing infrastructure, and scalability for future growth.
“Working with Xinnor enabled us to deliver a solution that not only addresses the agency’s current requirements. but also allows for future scalability,” said Toni Falcone, CEO, Advanced HPC. “The combination of xiRAID’s capabilities and our expertise resulted in a robust and scalable infrastructure.”
“During the evaluation process, we considered various RAID solutions but found that xiRAID was the most efficient in terms of performance and value. It exceeded our expectations for this important deployment,” remarked a system engineer from the Federal Agency.
The project, procured through the NASA SEWP platform, highlights the effective partnership between Xinnor and Advanced HPC in providing a high-performance, reliable, and cost-efficient storage solution tailored to the agency’s needs.
