DataDirect Networks on 9 November launched a new hybrid flash storage appliance that it claims is the first with the ability to “anticipate and optimise” the workloads of big data-intensive applications.
These workloads can entail such complicated applications as computational simulation, government intelligence and business and research analytics.
Like many new-gen enterprise storage devices, DataDirect’s SFA7700 supports both NAND flash and spinning disk storage volumes in the same enclosure.
DataDirect’s Storage Fusion Xcelerator portfolio of Flash acceleration tools includes:
Sunnyvale, California-based DataDirect positions the SFA7700 appliance to serve as an entry-level system for organisations with big-data storage needs. Users can start small with 60 SSDs and/or HDDs in a 4U rack for a maximum capacity of 240TBs.
The appliance is expandable to up to 396 disks in 20U rack for a maximum capacity of 960TBs, the company said.
The SFA7700 will be available in early 2013 directly through DDN and via DDN’s PartnerLink channel community. Pricing information is not available at this time. More information is available here.
