Improve Performance for Virtualized Server Workloads with ARI-100 Series
As business and IT leaders recognize the importance of making better use of valuable data, while maximizing IT investment, virtualized servers aren’t an option, but an imperative. A relatively recent MIT Sloan study showed that “the median data growth rate (for organizations surveyed) was approximately 40% per year, which essentially doubled the volume of data stored every two years.”
Another recent MIT study of executives about their commitment to exploring Big Data shows that “85% of respondents said their organizations were just beginning to explore big data, with only 35% investing $1 million or more.” This study was in 2013, so the investments are likely much higher in 2015 with the growth of the awareness of Big Data’s potential as a source of revenue.
Many of our customers are finding that the ARI-100 Series is the perfect solution to improve the performance of virtualized servers. These hybrid storage arrays can scale to hundreds of terabytes of storage, necessary for industries – including research universities and hospitals in the study mentioned above -where next level HPC is no longer an option, but a requirement.
Here’s What the Ari-100 Series Offers for Advanced Virtualization:
- Sustained performance of 3.5Gbs Write, 5Gbs Read on a File System
- Automatic storage drive tiering
- Rapid drive rebuild
- Drive spin-down
- Virtual disk pools
- SSD Flash Cache
- Thin provisioning
