The complete FlashDisk SX Series product family now includes three models that are comprised of 1U, 2U and 3U shelves that offer vast flexibility in configuration and expansion. The product line supports Fibre Channel and SAS host interfaces, SAS and SATA disks and expands to up to 80 TB.
The FlashDisk SX-3400 Series also offers iSCSI interfaces with up to 8 iSCSI ports that make the storage available on the network to multiple servers. With Fibre Channel interfaces it provides "SAN-In-A-Box" connectivity to as many as 8 servers directly without switches.
The FlashDisk SX-1300 Series also supports 2.5" disk drives for Tier1+ performance for database hot files. Also, the FlashDisk FC-3400 supports traditional Fibre Channel disk drives again with 'SAN-In-A-Box' connectivity for up to 8 servers.
All FlashDisk products support high-speed, ASIC-powered RAID 6 that run applications at full performance and provides dual parity for exceptional data protection. According to the company's white paper, Enterprise RAID 6, RAID 6 dual parity offers 500 to 30,000 times longer MTDL (Mean Time To Data Loss) than RAID 5. An informative 6-minute presentation RAID 6 Essentials is also available. The company offers a 16-page Product Catalog that summarizes the offerings.
The company's chief technology officer, Mr. Jerry Namery, explained:" This 9th generation of FlashDisk products represent the finest collection of storage offerings in our 27 year history. Customers can literally configure a solution to match the characteristics of each data set to the price, performance, reliability and power consumption of the storage device and manage it from a single console. Thus their investment is maximized in a tangible manner that is immediately rewarded with lower costs, improved application performance and an improved bottom line."
Available now, the FlashDisk SX-2300 Fibre Channel models start under $15,000. Delivery is 2-3 weeks ARO.
