AccelStor Displayed FlexiRemap Software for All-Flash Array Performance

AccelStor, Inc. has displayed its advances in all-flash storage with FlexiRemap technology at Flash Memory Summit 2015, achieving sustained high IO/s with all-flash arrays based on software innovations on commodity off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware platforms.

The exhibition included the live demonstration of the FlexiRemap software-based approach with a high-density 2U rack-mount platform achieving over 680,000 IO/s for 4KB random write, and display the upcoming flagship NeoSapphire 3413 all-flash array offering sustained 600,000 IO/s. The company has previewed upcoming NeoGarnet hybrid storage series, using PCIe SSDs and Toshiba enterprise HDDs to combine high capacity and extreme storage performance.

FlexiRemap technology
FlexiRemap is a software-defined flash technology developed by the company for profound flash acceleration at the OS kernel level. During FMS 2015, the company was demonstrate FlexiRemap on a high-density 2U rack-mount platform, reaching over 680,000 IO/s for 4KB random write, and also reveal the key technical details of its upcoming flagship NeoSapphire 3413 all-flash array, achieving sustained 600K IO/s with 24 hot-swappable SSDs, including two for hot spares.

Featuring global wear leveling with cross-drive knowledge and native fault tolerance, FlexiRemap offers enhanced data integrity and data protection with reduced overhead. Leveraging OS kernel level flash management with off-the-shelf rack-mount hardware, sustained high IO/s for enterprise and datacenter storage applications is achieved at much lower TCO than completely proprietary solutions.

NeoGarnet hybrid storage
At FMS 2015, the company displayed its NeoGarnet series hybrid flash array which fulfills the need for both performance and capacity in cloud-computing and enterprise applications. With configurable caching and tiering functionality, NeoGarnet accelerates backend data access in enterprises and datacenters.

Building a high IO/s flash array
To show AccelStor’s dedication to innovative technology on flash storage, Dr. Weafon Tsao, VP, R&D, gave a speech in Enterprise Storage Session 201-D on Wednesday, August 12 to talked about company’s software-defined approach to all-flash storage. He explained the methodology that allows the company to achieve outstanding performance on all-flash arrays.
