Introducing StorNext 5 Appliances

Globally distributed teams

require shared access

Video, Image and Sensor data

paths are 100% digital

Various sized unstructured

data files are managed

Topologies and interconnects

have evolved

Modern Workflows Have Changed Operations

Deliver

Built from the Ground Up for – Performance

– Scalability

– Flexibility

StorNext 5 Appliances A New Era for Digital Workflows

Next Generation Technology

A New Modern Core – New cache management

– Multiprocessor aware with lower CPU

utilization

– More compact on-disk format

– New reporting/management framework

Engineered from the Ground up

Up to 5 Billion Files – Metadata scalable to petabytes

– Designed for large block allocation space

– No slowdown as FS grows and ages

5x Greater Scalability

Across the Board Performance

Improvements – All files sizes improve

– File creates and deletes up to 10x faster

– Small file performance greatly increased

up to 100%

– Takes full advantage of SSD Flash and

multi-core processors

* Performance measured in standardized testing against StorNext v4.2 file create and delete performance, real-world application performance may vary

10x Faster Performance*

Topology Agnostic – Fibre Channel, IP/NAS and beyond - all

highly optimized with new cache

parameters and better system tuning

– All operating systems enjoy better

performance and lower latency

– Takes advantage of InfiniBand for lower

latency applications such as HPC

Beyond the SAN

IP/NAS + SAN and beyond

Improved Affinities Provide

Better Disk Performance – Automated tuning and reduced

parameters, now self-tuned for Quantum

disk

– Buffer cache I/O improvements and

smaller block allocation improve

performance on Petabyte-scale Lattus

Object Storage

Optimized for StorNext Q-Series

and Lattus Object Storage

Choice of LTO Tape Format

LTFS format – Meets LTFS standards

– Non-proprietary format

– Content delivery

– Collaboration

– Long-term vaulting

Quantum ANTF format – Higher read and write performance

– Single file can span multiple tapes

Native LTFS Capability

Redesigned To Boost Efficiency

and Performance – RAM, CPU cache, controller and disk IO all

important in FS performance

– Shrinking metadata makes all these more

effective

– Fit more in RAM and cache

– Move more with bandwidth

– Maintain consistent performance over time

– Seamless, non-disruptive software updates

Architected for the Long-Term

Takes Full Advantage of SSD

and Flash for Performance – Low latency and high I/O applications

benefit most

– Improves HPC and analytic operations

– Improves small file performance

– Support for InfiniBand

Flash & InfiniBand Optimized

Native LTFS Capability

10x Faster Performance*

Traditional Storage Approaches

Reduce Data Usage Efficiency

Traditional block addressing cannot match

scale, access or durability needs

Traditional file hierarchies

inhibit required global

access flexibility

22

Next-Generation Object Storage Matches

Modern Data Usage Objectives

Unlimited Scalability Independent of physical location

Flexible Data Usage No hierarchy – 100% flat namespace

Long-Term Online Durability Forward Error Correction (FEC)

for data integrity

Efficiency allows multiple copies

of encoded data distributed

across storage nodes

Global Data Access Distributed data

leveraging global networks
