RAID Inc. Showcases HPC Unified Storage

RAID Incorporated announced the launch of a high performing scalable unified storage platform, which will be showcased at SC12 in Salt Lake City, UT from November 12-15, 2012.

The RAID Inc. team will be demonstrating performance of 16GB/s and 1.8 million IOPS at the show.

"The solution also provides the lowest price-to-performance ratio in the marketplace today, which can scale for performance and capacity to meet any customer’s needs," said Bob Picardi, RAID Inc.’s CEO.

This unified, scalable high performance storage solution for high-performance applications has the industry’s lowest price-to-performance ratio and is powered by IBM’s General Parallel File System (GPFS).

It consolidates file and block-based access in a single-storage platform and supports various SAN and network topologies. It also simultaneously enables storage of file data, handles the block-based I/O and file system journaling.

These result in a cost-effective, scalable storage solution that provides virtually any performance that customers can want, with ease of administration and maintenance. At the same time, the solution is configurable for applications that demand either performance in IOPs or bandwidth.

Capabilities include provisioning of parallel file systems, file exports (NFS/CIFS/GFS), clustered NFS, replication, snapshots, RAID, volume copy, a single global namespace and information lifecycle management (ILM) functions.
