Nfina Hybrid/Multi-Cloud, Hyperconverged HA Infrastructure, HPC, Backup/DR, and Business Storage Solutions with 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable Processors

Nfina Technologies, Inc. added 3 server systems to its lineup, customized for hybrid/multi-cloud, hyperconverged HA infrastructure, HPC, backup/DR, and business storage solutions.

Featuring 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable processors, Nfina-Store, and Nfina-View software, these scalable server systems fill a void in the marketplace, bringing multi-socket processing performance, easy-to-use management tools, built-in backup, and rapid DR.

These 3 server systems come in a variety of solution-based configurations including server, NAS, SAN, hyperconverged, edge computing, hybrid and multi-cloud.

Server systems come in variety of solution-based configurations:

• 8324R – 2U rackmount, 24- to 48-bay models available as server, NAS, SAN, hyperconverged with HA, edge computing, and hybrid cloud solutions

• 7312R – 2U rackmount, 12- to 24-bay models available as server, NAS, SAN, hyperconverged with HA, edge computing, and hybrid cloud solutions

• 5312R – 1U rackmount, 12-bay models available as server and hybrid cloud solutions

“We know we must build systems for the business IT needs of today while planning for unknown future demands. Flexible infrastructure is key, optimized for hybrid/multi-cloud, backup/DR, HPC, and growing storage needs,” says Warren Nicholson, president, and CEO. “Flexible infrastructure also means offering managed services like IaaS, DRaaS, etc., that provide customers with choices that fit the size of their application and budget – not a one size fits all approach like many of our competitors. Our goal is to serve many different business IT applications, any size, anywhere, at any time.“

Staring the anticipated Intel Corp.’s 10nm process technology, the 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable processors deliver up to 40 cores per processor and up to 46% performance improvement compared to previous gens. These processors support up to 6TB of system memory per socket, up to 8 channels of DDR4-3200 memory per socket – increased from 6 channels in previous models, and up to 64 lanes of PCIe Gen4 per socket.

The 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable processor-based systems are the only servers with built-in AI acceleration (Intel DL Boost) and software guard protection (Intel SGX). DL Boost is DL acceleration allowing users to run complex AI along with existing workloads. SGX provides data and privacy protection via application isolation in memory, regardless of the OS or hardware configuration.

Combine Intel-based hardware with Nfina-Store management and Nfina-View monitoring software, and these server systems are impenetrable.

Nfina-Store is a software management tool designed to create and manage data storage pools. Immutable Snapshots, created according to your desired frequency, provide foolproof on and off-site backup and DR protection. Immutable snapshots are read-only images that provide air-gap quality functionality to DR plans to stop ransomware intruders from moving or deleting snapshots. Hence, customers know they can restore clean copies of data anytime. All the company’s storage products (hybrid cloud, hyperconverged, SAN, and NAS) support immutable snapshots air-gap functionality.

Nfina-View software uses a unified management control pane to monitor edge and cloud data storage pools. If an outage or failure occurs, it allows to failover with 1-click and run from your backups in minutes, not hours or days. If you experience a ransomware attack, your system is rolled back and restored from snapshots taken before the event occurred. It also allows to test your backups and failover procedures, assuring your IT systems are protected if an actual disaster occurs.

The company’s 8324R, 7312R, and 5312R systems are available through the firm‘s partner network.

All systems can be purchased outright or bundled into the company’s IaaS, DRaaS, managed services to fit business application needs and monthly budgets.
