INFINIDAT vs. All Flash Arrays
Characteristic INFINIDAT AFA Challenges with AFA
PerformanceAt full capacity performance can degrade, still based on dual controller architecture
Reliability Not 7 x 9’s of availability, prone to NAND deterioration = more errors that HDD = requires more drives > RAID
ScaleNew technologies like HAMR and TDMR have higher areal density making HDD the preferred architecture for capacity-oriented workloads
Ease of UseForce storage heterogeneity, can’t put all workloads ‘feasibly’ to AFA
Economics
Data reduction technologies are indeterministic SSD & HDD $ are improving @ the same rate, data continues to grow exponentially – demand for low $/GB will outpace flash capacity & costs

Striking the Optimal Balance
What makes InfiniBox different?
InfiniBox is designed expressly to optimally exploit both flash and HDD media at scale.
This permits the ideal balance of high performance, high areal density, best-in-industry RAS and lower TCO.

» Mainframe class reliability» 7 x 9’s Uptime (99.99999% = less that 3 seconds of downtime / year)
» Innovative RAID-like data layout» 4K Metadata includes checksum to avoid data corruption due to bit
error rates» Very fast drive rebuilds
» Sustain 2 drive failure » Rebuild both within 15 minutes
» Unlimited snapshots with ZERO performance impact» Async replication with 4 second RPO
Unparalleled Reliability
