One Stop Systems: 5th Generation NVMe Ion Accelerator Flash Storage Array

One Stop Systems, Inc., a provider of HPC GPU accelerators and NVMe flash arrays for a multitude of HPC applications, introduced the 2U Ion Accelerator Flash Storage Array. 

The array offers flexible capacity while maintaining the high-bandwidth and low-latency pedigree of Ion Accelerator arrays deployed in hundreds of installations. This OSS shared flash storage array boasts the latest Ion Accelerator 5.0 software, NVMe drives, networking options and dual Intel Xeon scalable processors to support the demanding applications.

Multiple high-speed networking options allow this array to fit into FC (up to 32Gb/s), iSCSI (up to 100Gb/s) or IB (up to 100Gb/s) deployments. The capacity of the Ion Accelerator can be expanded up to 153TB with 24 2.5″ NVMe drives. HA is achieved using two arrays in a mirrored setup.

The version 5.0 for the Ion Accelerator software from OSS provides an all-flash storage solution that delivers cost-effective, near-native NVMe performance for data-intensive workloads. It is designed to deliver low latency and high bandwidth for the performance-hungry applications used in information and financial services, healthcare, government, manufacturing, media and entertainment, and other major industries.

Offering bandwidth from a single storage box of 25GB/sec and latency below 100µs, Ion software is the solution for delivering on the promise of NVMe flash performance in shared storage. Ion Accelerator has built-in data integrity in the software, with support for various RAID configurations, as well as a HA option that simultaneously accelerates performance for volumes across two systems.

“This newest release provides game-changing performance, density and fault tolerance,” said OSS VP of engineering, Julia Elbert. “The low overhead with Ion Accelerator software allows systems to deliver near bare-metal performance from the latest NVMe technology flash drives, along with the reliability and data integrity required in mission-critical enterprise applications. With this fifth generation of Ion Accelerator software, existing appliance customers can also upgrade from legacy drives to modern NVMe with zero down time and no data migration costs using our Easy Migrate upgrade program.“

Visitors to the WEST 2018 conference held in San Diego, CA, February 6-8, have seen the 2U Ion Accelerator Flash Storage Array and the rugged MIL-STD 4U Ion Accelerator Software-powered FSAn-4.

Both NVMe arrays are available to order from One Stop Systems’ sales engineers.
