StorCentric QV1020 Violin QV-Series 2U AFA NVMe Storage

StorCentric, Inc. announced the availability of the QV1020 on the QV-Series platform – simple, fast and affordable performance all-flash NVMe storage.

The Violin QV-Series, with the QV1020 and existing QV2020 model, helps businesses of all sizes achieve fast application response times even during peak processing, increase application availability and resiliency, and ensure protection from local or remote outages.

“NVMe has taken hold in the enterprise, driven by the demands of high-performance applications such as big data analytics, ML, AI, OLTP and data warehousing and their need for high-speed, low-latency access to storage media,” said Surya Varanasi, CTO. “The Violin QV1020 answers the call for these exact same NVMe capabilities, but for companies that have smaller capacity requirements with corresponding pricing.“

QV-Series features and benefits:

Fast application response – The platform has been architected to deliver low latency rates and higher performance so you can get the fastest response times even during peak processing. The difference is the Flash Fabric Architecture (FFA) that gives the QV-Series high bandwidth and IO/s at consistent low latency.
HA – It utilizes active/active controllers for increased performance and delivers superior application availability and resiliency with 99.9999% uptime.
Data protection – Snapshots enable recovery of Oracle or SQL Server databases to any point in time. Synchronous replication enables remote data protection with zero RPO. The QV-Series ensures data is protected at rest using AES-256 self-encrypting drives. A passphrase can be set for an additional layer of security.
Data de-dupe – The platform provides performance-optimized data reduction that is selectable by volume, driving down the TCO.
Streamlined management – The QV-Series has a simplified web-based management user interface that is customizable, manages multiple systems, and delivers the performance metrics and predictive analytics needed to optimize business needs.
Enhanced matrixed RAID data allocation – Writes to the NVMe SSDs are balanced across all drives for better performance. Global parity and spare allocation mitigate the need for urgent drive replacement.
