Pavilion HyperOS V3.0, Scalable and Flexible Storage Platform

Pavilion Data Systems, Inc. announced the HyperOS 3.0, which powers at dense, scalable, and flexible storage platform.

With the addition of NFS and S3 support across multiple company’s Hyperparallel flash array systems under a single, global namespace, the multi-protocol HyperOS 3.0 delivers organizational choice and control to deploy high performance, low latency storage with unlimited scale across block, file, and object workloads without compromises.

Customers can achieve business outcomes that were previously not possible across AI/ML, analytics, HPC, and the Edge by accelerating all workloads. This enables them to take advantage of scale and class-leading density to achieve business and organizational outcomes previously thought unattainable.

The HyperOS 3.0 includes the HyperParallel file system a multi-chassis clustered, distributed file system that brings greater levels of performance, scalability, and functionality to the HyperParallel Flash Array (HFA), resulting in a performant, dense, flexible, scalable, and affordable flash storage platform.

“We live in a world where all applications are now mission critical, and the sheer volume and velocity of data required to meet objectives is massive,” said Gurpreet Singh, CEO. “A data centric world, leverages large data sets to extract actionable intelligence and insights in real time, which are critical for the business. With our announcement today, customers are able to do just that – process massive amounts of unstructured file and object data, without limits and at unprecedented speeds to extract the most value out of their critical assets.“

“The Pavilion platform delivers the performance to meet the needs of the next gen of high performance workflows across multiple workloads,” said Billy Russell, VP and CTO, Alliance Integrated Technology, Inc. “The raw performance, density, multi tenancy and protocol support that Pavilion delivers is in a class we have not seen in any other flash storage platforms.“

HyperParallel flash array

The parallel architecture of the HyperParallel flash array already delivered performance for block, file, and object workloads in a single namespace. The HyperParallel file system expands upon that performance to deliver a performance NFS and S3 object store that provides levels of flexibility in performance, affordability, ecosystem integration, data services, and control across a global namespace.

Capable of providing independent, linear scalability of both capacity and performance, the HyperParallel file system provides global namespace support for both NFS and S3 across multiple HyperParallel flash array systems, enabling unlimited, linear scale.

They delivered performance with read and write performances. With HyperOS 3.0, the HyperParallel platform delivers stronger performance to drive customer results.

The company empowers customers with up to 4x the read performance and up to 8x the write performance for NFS and S3 data vs. the incumbent and new players in this space.

“The Pavilion HyperOS enables us to create massive, Rackscale deployments,” said Kevin Tubbs, SVP, strategic solutions group, Penguin Computing.

The global namespace capability of the HyperParallel file system allows for flexibility across an unlimited number of HyperParallel flash array units. Configurable within the HyperOS interface, customers can configure any number of controllers and/or HFA systems, and any number of ports across any combination of supported protocols, including iSCSI, NVMe-oF/TCP, NVMe-oF/RoCE, NFS, S3, or to an external file system such as IBM Spectrum Scale, Lustre, or BeeGFS. With up to 20 controllers and 40 100GbE or IB ports per HFA, and with the ability to scale across an unlimited number of HFAs, users now have flexibility and choice with the storage system that offersa combination of performance and throughput with low latency and high density.

HyperParallel file system adds data services for NFS, including tiering, replication, security, snapshots, clones, encryption, and compression. S3 data services include compression, replication, file access controls, identity management, multi-cloud tiering, and multi-ecosystem integration.

“Pavilion has been able to achieve industry leading performance for simultaneous block, file, and object workloads, at scale, while using standards based hardware in an incredibly compact form factor. This is truly impressive.“, said Marc Staimer, president, Dragon Slayer Consulting, “What’s even more amazing, it is the first in the industry.“

“Disaggregated, high performance NFS and S3 storage, leveraging NVMe-oF and RDMA for low latency, will be critical to enterprises as they work to solve big data challenges as well as edge computing needs with GPU-based systems,” said Philippe Nicolas, analyst, Coldago Research. “With the ability to deliver industry leading performance, density, and unlimited, linear scalability across systems, Pavilion’s HyperParallel Data Platform resets expectations in the storage category.“

“Pavilion Data’s unique hyperparallel architecture can simultaneously support native block, file and object protocols with eye-popping performance density,” said Eric Burgener, research VP, infrastructure systems, platforms and technologies group, IDC. “Able to corral up to 20 CPUs and 72 storage devices in a 4U form factor, the system efficiently delivers extremely high performance and low latency, predictably at scale, providing a highly efficient end-to-end NVMe-based platform suitable for high performance cloud native as well as traditional workloads that outperforms the competition, with in many cases a 50% to 75% smaller footprint.“
