SolidFire All-SSD System Doubles Capacity

SolidFire, Inc., provider of all-SSD primary storage systems for cloud service providers, announced the SF6010.

It is an addition to the company’s product line that helps cloud providers reach a broader set of customer applications. This larger system has twice the capacity of the SF3010, offering cloud service providers more resources to allocate across a larger set of tenant applications.

The company was introducing the new system at GigaOM Structure, June 20-21, 2012, in San Francisco, CA.

The SF6010 node has a raw capacity of 6TB and an effective capacity of 24TB when considering SolidFire’s use of in-line deduplication, compression, and thin provisioning. The storage systems are capable of scaling out to 100 nodes, and, with the SF6010, cloud providers are now able to create high-density single-instance storage environments of 2.4PB and 5 million IOPS.

The SF6010 is available as part of the SolidFire Early Access Program.

"The SolidFire technology is designed to advance the way the world uses the cloud. The release of the SF6010 allows us to address a wider market segment and enables cloud providers to deliver guaranteed storage resources to a larger set of applications in their cloud," said Jay Prassl, VP marketing at SolidFire."
