eRacks/FLASH72

eRacks/FLASH72 is now delivering up to 1.11PB (Petabytes) of raw storage with 15.36TB Samsung Enterprise 2.5-inch SAS III (12 GB/s) SSDs in 72 x 2.5-inch (48-front + 24-rear) Hot-Swap Drive Bays in a 4U form-factor Chassis.

This all flash system is configurable up to 44 core with dual-Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v4 Family Processors or dual-Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 Family Processors and this eRacks/FLASH72 can back these processors up with up to 3TB high-frequency DDR4 ECC Registered memory in 24 DIMM slots. Alongside SAS-III SSD drives this system can be configured with both SATA 6 GB/s or 24 GB/s NVMe drives as well.

 eRacks/FLASH72 servers are ideal for hyper-convergence and latency sensitive applications. Data scientists, cloud and HPC workloads are all ideal candidates too for eRacks/FLASH72. While the cost per gigabyte of flash storage exceeds that of traditional rotating hard drives, where FLASH72 have decreased these costs significantly by making All-Flash storage system that is very compelling for these workloads.

 eRacks/FLASH72 server can be set up either with SAS 12 GB/s or SATA 6 GB/s based SSD drives in a traditional All-Flash array or, lately, utilizing non-volatile memory or NVMe directly connected to the PCI-express I/O on the server. In either case, the IOP performance and throughput greatly exceeds that of traditional rotating media.

The greatest benefit of utilizing an eRacks/FLASH72 server equates to performance in both IOPs and throughput. Latency, or the time it takes for a server to answer a request, is greatly reduced by the read/write speed of the All-Flash storage than traditional magnetic hard drives. Capacity and wear tracking for SSDs is at a point where eRacks/FLASH72 configuration meets the needs of most workloads.

 eRacks/FLASH72 with SAS-III/SATA-III/NVMe drives is optimized for many I/O intensive enterprise applications such as advanced data mining, Big Data/Cassandra/Hadoop, Network Attached Storage (NAS) such as FreeNAS, SDS (Software-Defined Storage) such as Ceph, FinTech/Financial transactions, and other online transaction processing (OLTP) applications, that were previously not possible to achieve this level of performance with standard SAS and SATA SSD storage.

eRacks/FLASH72 server system with All-Flash Storage Array is ideal for,

• Virtualization Servers.
