Stec Provides Enterprise SSDs for Pogo Storage

To be inserted in NexentaStor ZFS-based unified storage systems

STEC, Inc. announced an alliance whereby Pogo Storage, a division of Pogo Linux, will feature STEC’s ZeusRAM and ZeusIOPS SSDs in its Storagedirector Z-Series family of unified storage solutions.

The two companies showcased the solution August 26 to 29 at VMworld 2012, in San Francisco, CA.

Pogo’s Storagedirector Z-Series NAS and SAN products run on the NexentaStor ZFS platform, which unlocks enterprise storage capabilities such as HA, unlimited snapshots and deduplication, with Open Storage technologies.

Nexenta recently certified an all-STEC SSD-configured system, which delivers up to 5X better performance for such enterprise applications as database indexing and email exchanges, resulting in an 8X reduction in cost per user and a 4X reduction in cost per transaction.

Utilizing STEC’s ZeusRAM SSD as the write log and ZeusIOPS SSD as the read-only cache within the Storagedirector Z-Series system alleviates performance bottlenecks. This accelerates read/write capabilities, which is for business-critical applications, such as enterprise e-commerce, databases, OLTP, cloud infrastructures and virtualization.

"With all the solid-state drive technologies on the market, our customers and resellers trust us to integrate only the most enterprise-reliable SSDs into our products," said Erik Logan, CEO of Pogo Storage. "As the first Nexenta Premier Partner, we are excited to partner with STEC to integrate their powerful Nexenta-certified STEC ZeusRAM and ZeusIOPS SSDs into our Storagedirector Z-Series systems. These SSDs deliver the best solid-state drive platform to run NexentaStor in terms of I/O performance and I/Os per second (IOPS), which is consistent with the quality and performance our customers expect from Pogo Storage."

"Integrating STEC’s ZeusIOPS SSDs into Pogo’s groundbreaking Storagedirector Z-Series solution, powered by Nexenta’s OpenStorage software, provides the enterprise market with a high-performance, high-availability storage solution," said Jim Ting, VP of product marketing at STEC. "This all-SSD solution delivers incredible I/O performance at a price point not achievable using HDDs."
