FMS: AccelStor Unveils vFlexiArray Technology

AccelStor, Inc. will display the vFlexiArray technology at Flash Memory Summit 2018, Santa Clara Convention Center, in Santa Clara, CA.

To share the company’s vision about the latest NVMe-oF technology and explain the methodology of vFlexiArray, Chaan Beard, chief solutions architect, AccelStor, will be talking about Developing low latency Data Services on NVMe-oF Shared Storage in two sessions on August 7 and August 9, at the Flash Memory Summit.

vFlexiArray is a new NVMe-oF storage solution that integrates with the FlexiRemap technology which virtualizes both controllers, the NVMe SSDs and leverages RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) in an end-to-end fabric. This solution delivers aggregated performance of up to 40 million IO/s with low latency in 8U of rack space, and also supports flexible scale-out and scale-up architecture providing feature-rich data services, including FlexiRemap 2(N+1) data protection that allows two simultaneous SSDs failures without data loss and the usual data services we have come to expect with storage systems such as snapshots, clones, thin-provisioning, inline deduplication, replication and compression et al.

“NVMe-oF is an emerging solution that has been designed to handle performance-hungry and data-intensive workloads. Data services are crucial for these environments. Current NVMe solutions from other vendors consume front-end computing resources to execute data services or do not support must-have features for data protection and storage efficiency.” said David Kao, VP, AccelStor. “vFlexiArray is designed for multi-tenant data centers and offers feature-rich data services which flexibly scale performance and capacity on demand without compromising the latency of NVMe.“
