S2A Perforamnce Optimized Storage System is the choice for online high-performance storage applications

Priority applications require priortiy access to important information with sustanined I/O performance and high-speed data access capability.

Providing the highest levels of I/O performance and quality of data service, the S2A Performance Optimized Storage System is the ideal choice for your online storage application. This fabric-attached system integrates easily into complex enterprise environments and provides parallel or shared data access to Linux, UNIX® and Windows® data while simultaneously supporting Fibre-Channel SAN, InfiniBand Fabrics, and Clustered NAS storage. A single S2A9550 Storage Appliance has a proven ability to perform at rates up to 3 Gigabytes per second, continuously serving data with a 99.99% availability.  Capacity scaling ranges from 50GB per system into petabytes to accomodate your information growth.

Several times faster than traditional RAID storage systems, S2A DirectRAID delivers sustained real-time performance from disk media whether reading or writing data, calculating RAID 6 parity checking I/Os, or even in the event of a multiple disk drive failure. Additional performance features, unavailable in other systems, manages Quality of Service to ensure uninterrupted data delivery and data availability. Further, the S2A provides the unique option to source all its performance from a single target (PowerLUN), reducing or eliminating the need for host-based striping software.

Unify and streamline your infrastructure by consolidating storage and applications within a single, scalable storage environment. Architectural parallelism and raw performance enable and enhance many high performance data management applications such as parallel and shared data environments with parallel and concurrent access.
