Infinidat Unveils InfiniSync, Neutrix Cloud, InfiniGuard and InfiniBox F6212 System

Infinidat Ltd. announced four products aimed at enterprises seeking to accelerate digital transformation and drive cost out of their IT infrastructure.

InfiniSync

InfiniSync is a 450 pound, ballistically hardened data bunker appliance that is a solution for zero RPO synchronous data mirroring over virtually infinite distance, with zero latency impact.

“Traditional mission-critical computing requires synchronous mirroring, perhaps from lower Manhattan to a data bunker in northern New Jersey, and then asynchronous mirroring from the bunker to a disaster recovery site in Texas,” said Jacob Broido, chief product officer, Infinidat. “InfiniSync eliminates the need for the New Jersey data center while ensuring all transactions make it to Texas under every imaginable scenario, including power and network failures and regional and rolling disasters.”

InfiniSync will be available on April 2, 2018.

Neutrix Cloud

Neutrix Cloud is a sovereign public storage cloud that offers performance, multi-petabyte cloud file systems and block volumes that are simultaneously accessible from Google, Azure and AWS compute clouds. It is an OpEx service and can be employed standalone or with on-premises InfiniBox in hybrid cloud mode with a four second RPO.

“Clients want flexibility and choice as they transform their organizations around cloud,” says Gregory Touretsky, senior director, product management, Infinidat. “Entrusting your data to a neutral storage provider enables next-generation cloud services and the ultimate in cloud agility.”

As an example of that flexibility, in addition to other public clouds, the Neutrix Cloud will be available to customers of VMware Cloud on AWS by end of April. VMware Cloud on AWS brings together VMware’s enterprise-class Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) software and elastic, bare-metal infrastructure from AWS to give organizations consistent operating model and application mobility for private and public cloud.

“VMware Cloud on AWS provides customers a seamlessly integrated hybrid cloud offering that gives customers the SDDC experience from the leader in private cloud, running on the leading public cloud provider, AWS,” said Mark Lohmeyer, VP and GM, cloud platform business unit, VMware, Inc. “Solutions such as Infinidat Neutrix Cloud enable IT teams to reduce cost, increase efficiency, and create operational consistency across cloud environments. We’re excited to work with partners such as Infinidat to enhance native VMware Cloud on AWS capabilities and empower customers with flexibility and choice in solutions that can drive business value.”

“For over 15 years, our customers have relied on Daymark solutions to deliver strategic, elegant, cost-effective solutions for their most critical enterprise infrastructure challenges. With Infinidat’s patented machine learning technologies and the introduction of Neutrix Cloud, we can adopt a sovereign storage approach that increases our ability to provide dependable, flexible and cost-effective solutions for public cloud workloads,” said Tim Donovan, CEO, Daymark Solutions, Inc.

Neutrix Cloud will be available end of April 2018 in US East and US West with additional regions online in the future.

InfiniGuard

InfiniGuard is an application-aware data protection appliance that stores up to 20PB of data and provides fast restores. It is powered by the same Neural Cache software architecture that powers InfiniBox and supports a software ecosystem including Commvault, Veritas, Veeam, IBM Spectrum Protect, SAP, Oracle RMAN, VMware and Microsoft Exchange.

“Along with outrageous cost, the number one complaint about incumbent data protection solutions is poor restore performance,” said Shlomi Halevy, senior product manager, Infinidat. “InfiniGuard delivers better than 10x the restore performance of the current market leader along with superior reliability and disruptive pricing.”

InfiniBox F6212

InfiniBox F6212 is an InfiniBox model sporting 8.3PB of capacity. It runs the same software and has the same features, performance and reliability that customers have come to love about the InfiniBox product family. With 8.3PB of capacity per system, F6212 comes to market in response to customer demand for analytics, deep learning and industrial IoT use cases that require affordable, multi-petabyte storage with high reliability and sub-millisecond response times.

InfiniBox F6212 will be available on April 2, 2018.

Not All Product Portfolios Are Created Equal
In fact, most enterprise portfolios are disparate collections of products with incompatible features and APIs. This inconsistent mix of products adds complexity and inefficiency to customer environments and also adds excessive costs to vendors’ software development life cycles that get passed on to customers. This is not the case with Infinidat. All of the products announced here are based on the company’s common foundational software platform that includes:

• Neural Cache, the company’s machine learning algorithm that maximizes performance by finding hidden connections in data access patterns.

• InfiniRAID, which along with the firm’s RAS architecture, provides seven nines (99.99999%) of availability while ensuring data integrity at multi-petabyte scale.

• InfiniSnap, the company’s timestamp-based snapshot mechanism that provides infinite copy data management and performance replication with no performance impact.

“Infinidat continues to be the exception to other hybrid flash array vendors. With this announcement, they have expanded their portfolio to include offerings for backup, DR, and multicloud – all powered by a single architecture,” said Eric Burgener, research VP, storage, IDC. “Infinidat’s portfolio expansion allows them to address more customer challenges across diverse problem domains with less staff.”

“Performance at low cost is key in this market segment, and the Infinidat portfolio — with primary storage, business continuity, and cloud storage — covers more of the data lifecycle, delivering the necessary performance at a lower price point than the all-flash competition,” said Dan Hamilton, VP, technology, Whipcord Ltd. “Infinidat’s machine-learning tech has given our cloud and disaster recovery as a service offerings a performance advantage over the competition.”

“With Infinidat we’re able to focus on driving growth without worrying about our infrastructure,” said Jamie Orth, VP, systems manager, CenterState Bank. “Infinidat understands our need for scalable and predictable performance, and they consistently deliver innovative storage solutions that maintain performance and availability.”

“As an Infinidat partner, we’re excited to see this new portfolio, and we’re confident that our customers will be responsive to the benefits these new products provide,” said Bob Elliott, VP, storage, Mainline Information Systems, Inc. “The Infinidat team continually uses its proven technology foundation to create products that solve more customer problems across the data lifecycle.”

“With Infinidat’s new portfolio products, we have more affordable and high-performing data storage solutions to offer our customers,” said Chuck Hawkins, president, Dynamix Group, Inc. “This expanded portfolio will continue to help our customers solve their IT pain points.”

“Engineering D.HUB has adopted a multi-sourcing strategy to support customers digital transformation that requires a provider partner supporting the right balance between on- and off-premises capabilities,” said Alessio Panni, director, business development and solutions, Engineering D.HUB. “With Infinidat’s portfolio, we achieve this balance and are able to address more of the data lifecycle pain points faster and cheaper than the all-flash alternatives.”

“With Infinidat’s platform, offering primary storage, backup, disaster recovery and cloud storage, we can address more pain points while managing different workloads and mission-critical applications. The decision to adopt an easy-to-manage, reliable, triple-redundant solution, that was also faster and cheaper than most of the all-flash alternatives, was easy,” said Alessandro Spigaroli, head, IT architecture and technology innovation, CEDACRI.

“To the team – it’s been a busy couple of months. Congratulations on four simultaneous successful product launches. To our amazing customers – you make our hard work worthwhile. Thank you for your loyalty and trust. To our prospective customers  we would love to have a conversation about how Infinidat technology can transform your business and help you delight your customers.
