Zstor NV24P, Just a Bunch of NVMe Flash System

Based on a PCIe architecture, up to 184TB

Just a Bunch of NVMe Flash – JBOF – is the next step in requirements requested for data center environments looking for cost-efficient, high-performance, and flexible to use storage.

Zstor GmbH launches NV24P JBOF NVMe flash system with storage capacity of up to 184TB exclusively on WHD show at Europapark rust.


Based on a PCIe architecture directly connected between servers and JBOF a central NV24P JBOF offers nearly identical performance characteristics in terms of IO/s load and latency versus local NVMe SSDs. Through combining NVMe storage into a centralized NV24P JBOF the operating costs will be reduced and the flexibility in connection of NVMe storage to dedicated servers will be increased.

JBOF comes slightly inline from well-known JBOD. The idea to centralize flash memory in DAS connectivity is realized when using NV24P JBOF together performance PCIe HBAs. The PCIe system interfaces give the full bandwidth of server performance directly to the attached JBOF without using any switch. As known from the JBOD technology also the JBOF system gives the benefits in cost reduction while keeping the performance features available.

NVMe SSDs almost used in any server farm offers the needed performance. With the Zstor NV24P JBOF as centralized flash system it offers beside a flexible use also a significant cost reduction by keeping the needed performance levels“, says Helmut Kopel, MD, Zstor. “The strategy of combining expensive high-performance storage devices in a centralized system for cost reduction will become a clear standard in datacenter very soon.

The IT infrastructure in which the NV24P JBOF will be used is based on the consistent implementation of local requirements for PCIe-based high-performance storage into a centralised PCIe-based system with NVMe SSDs.

Order to meet the requirements in high IO/s-load and low latency up to eight servers can be connected via NVMe PCI-e Gen3 HBAs to the NV24P JBOF flash storage. The PCIe interfaces connect servers directly to the JBOF without any additional switches. The NV24P itself offers flexible NVMe storage directly to attached servers via physical zoning maps. It is supported by all OSs without additional drivers and can be used also cross-platforms.

The NV24P JBOF, equipped with a three years system warranty, is available as well as the necessary NVME PCIe HBA P300 series.

Capacity up to 24×7.68TB=184TB can be realized in one NV24P JBOF.
