First All-Flash Arrays SC180 and SE300 From Thecus

Thecus Technology Corp launched their line of All-Flash Array storage.

LightningPRO series deliver productivity, being optimized to handle business-critical applications for large enterprises.

With 10GbE connectivity, over 700,000 IO/s and data protection features, businesses can now be equipped with these highly proficient performance storage devices.

“Thecus has taken a bold new step in the storage industry. The new LightningPRO series provides companies with blazing reading and data exchange speeds to their back-end storage“, said Florence Shih, GM, Thecus. “For companies that deal with high-performance applications such as virtual infrastructures or transactional databases, the performance of these all-flash disk arrays is without equal.“

LightingPRO series currently comprises of the SC180 and SE300.

The SC180 is a 1U rackmount that delivers 360,000 sustained IO/s with 10 hot-swappable SATA SSDs.

For more power, the SE300 is also a 1U rackmount, yet delivers transfer speed of more than 700,000 IO/s for 4KB random writes with 8 SSDs using the NVMe interface which gives the whole system more performance.

The company utilizes FlexiRemap technology ⁽¹⁾ which reorders random write data into sequential traffic to increase write performance. Unlike RAID algorithms, FlexiRemap remaps the data whenever beneficial before passing it to the underlying flash memory, avoiding unnecessary overhead and extending the lifespan of SSDs. That allows businesses to remove bottlenecks and achieve sub-millisecond performance.

LightningPRO series highlights:

• Performance, over 700,000 IO/s at predictable response times under 1ms

• Sustained performance over time, regardless of workload intensity

• Everything is built into the software platform

• Extended array and SSD lifespan

• Fault tolerance and automatic data reconstruction upon drive replacement

• Low TCO and high energy efficiency, enabling enterprises and datacenters to do more with less.
