XtremIO—BEYOND FASTER. THE MOST INNOVATIVE ALL-FLASH DATABASE STORAGE ARRAY. All-flash storage arrays are an attractive choice for high-performance databases. But until now they have been fraught with scalability and availability concerns, high costs, and a lack of enterprise features. XtremIO’s ground-up all-flash array design was created from the start for not only maximum performance and consistently low latency response times, but also with enterprise grade high availability features, real-time inline data reduction that dramatically lowers costs, and enterprise capabilities such as thin provisioning, tight integration to VMware,msnapshots, and volume clones.

a single array with performance headroom to spare. And with XtremIO’s powerful and instantaneous zero-copy volume cloning feature, multiple copies of a database can be created for development and test purposes without consuming additional space in the array and with the full performance potential of the parent database. This significantly lowers the overall cost of the database environment and improves application roll-out times since every developer can get a high-performance, personal sandbox of the production database. XtremIO drastically simplifies even the most complex database environments.
VIRTUALIZE I/O INTENSIVE DATABASES AND ANALYTICS APPLICATIONS XtremIO makes it not only feasible, but easy to virtualize high-performance, I/O intensive database and analytics applications. With tremendous random I/O performance, ultra-low latency, deduplication-enhanced array-based copy services and VMware VAAI accelerated provisioning, XtremIO helps drive virtualization rates higher by encompassing all applications, even those previously relegated to dedicated
With XtremIO, database applications requiring tens of thousands to millions of IOPS and consistently low latency are supported in and easy-to-use scale-out flash array with a full complement of enterprise reliability, availability, and serviceability features. Database storage has never been as simple or more powerful.
servers and storage. XtremIO brings the benefits of virtualization to applications where it was previously impossible to deploy.
FLASH-SPECIFIC DATA PROTECTION—WITH FULL HIGH AVAILABILITY XtremIO storage utilizes flash-specific data protection that outperforms in every dimension. Every X-Brick (cluster scaling unit) in an XtremIO system can tolerate multiple simultaneous SSD failures, making the cluster more resilient than RAID 6. Yet XtremIO’s data protection algorithms provide superior performance to even RAID 1 (typically used for high performance databases), not just because they run on flash, but also because they utilize optimally efficient encoding schemes. This delivers ideal performance and protection with dramatically reduced capacity overhead. An additional benefit is greatly extended MLC flash endurance, since far fewer writes are required to protect data.
All XtremIO systems incorporate complete enterprise-grade high-availability features including N-way active/active storage processing, no single point of failure, and support for multipath I/O.
SIMPLE TO DEPLOY. SIMPLE TO SCALE. XtremIO requires no complex initial setup or tuning and never needs refactoring. The system inherently delivers maximum performance at all times. When application requirements grow, XtremIO meets demand with a scale-out design that not only makes it easy to support additional performance and capacity needs, but that also seamlessly delivers additional performance to existing databases and applications—keeping the entire environment balanced as it grows. You’ll never have to redeploy databases to get more performance.
A SECRET WEAPON FOR DATABASE APPLICATIONS XtremIO All-Flash Scale-Out Enterprise Storage Arrays offer unparalleled capabilities for high performance database storage.
