EonStor 25GbE Storage Solutions for High Speed Workloads From Infortrend

Infortrend Technology, Inc. announces that its mainstream storage solutions support 25GbE networking standard.

With such support, it meets the bandwidth-consuming requirements of hyper-scale data centers and M&E industries.

During NAB 2019, one of the leading M&E exhibitions, EonStor GSa AFA storage with 25GbE connectivity won the Best of Show Award, proving that the industry is ready to embrace this network standard.

Innovation such as HD video, AI, and big data applications requires a bigger and better bandwidth, and 10GbE cannot accommodate the network stresses. Compared with 10GbE, 25GbE provides 2.5x bandwidth, higher port density, better cost per gigabit, and lower power consumption.

The 25GbE is to be expected, this standard for the next-gen storage and server solutions such as core layers of data centers, HD media workflow, and cloud computing which caters to the needs in data speed, performance, and rack density.

In addition, 25GbE is a most future-proof connectivity because it features backward compatibility with 10GbE and a transition to 100GbE network. According to the IEEE, 100GbE standard is based on four 25GbE lanes. The trend towards 100GbE infrastructure will accelerate the adoption of 25GbE technology.

To respond to standard transition and increasing requirements, the company has introduced 25GbE connectivity into its product portfolios such as EonStor DS, EonStor GS, EonStor GSa, EonStor GSc, and EonStor GSe. A

At NAB 2019, the firm presented GSa all-flash storage with two 25GbE ports per host board to show the speed and efficiency of handling 8K DPX streams and was well received with the Best of Show Award.

“We are proud to provide comprehensive networking options to benefit our customers. With two 25GbE ports per host board, our storage solution can support up to 50GbE capability to handle high speed workloads. Along with the availability of 1/10/40GbE solutions and up to 32Gb FC interface, we empower customers with flexible configurations and optimized investment and performance,” said Thomas Kao, senior director, product planning.
