Unknown Tier 1 Financial Institution in NYC Selected Centralized NVMe Appliance From E8 Storage

E8 Storage Systems Ltd announced the deployment of its HA shared NVMe flash storage appliance at a major financial institution in NYC.

The customer, signed in 2016, completed installation of the E8-D24, and the complete hardware and software solution is in full production in the customer’s datacenter.

“E8 Storage utilizes best-in-class hardware to deliver a complete end-to-end solution for its customers, including the dual port version of the Intel Datacenter SSD family for PCIe used in this application. The dual port versions of the Intel Datacenter SSD family for PCIe combines NVMe performance with HA and density, making it a perfect complement to E8 Storage’s innovative storage architecture,” said Bill Leszinske, VP of strategic planning, marketing and business development, Intel NVM solutions group.

“Many financial institutions today are finding they require more performance than can be achieved by existing all-flash arrays, and E8 Storage is in a strong position to tap into the growing demand of this market,” said Tim Stammers, senior analyst, 451 Research LLC. “E8 Storage’s combination of PCIe-NVMe-based storage and an in-house equivalent to NVMe over Fabrics is cutting-edge, and worth a serious look for applications in need of a low-cost, high-performance storage solution.“

Tier 1 financial institution selected E8 Storage because it delivers numerous
business benefits unachievable with other all-flash arrays:

• Consolidating SSDs: It presents a single large pool of flash from which logical volumes can be shared among compute resources, at the same performance of local SSDs.
• Increased productivity: E8 Storage’s HA and fault-tolerant architecture allows for improved up-time and BC, improving developers’ access to data and increasing productivity.
• Lower costs: Increased utilization of SSDs reduces the number of drives required, saving the customer significant money on storage capacity in both the short- and long-term.

“This Wall Street customer needed a high-performance, HA storage solution for its mission-critical data center – and they found it in E8 Storage,” said Zivan Ori, CEO and co-founder, E8 Storage. “They are one of several Fortune 500 companies we’re working with to provide a replacement to local SSDs with a shared storage solution that has unprecedented levels of performance. We’re in various stages of deployment in other market verticals such as retail, HPC and web-scale data centers.“
