Scale-out, software-defined, flash storage platform for companies that streamlines the data path for application I/O
About DDN Infinite Memory Engine (IME)
Several key factors, both technological and commercial are creating demand for a new approach to high performance I/O. New non-volatile memory (NVM) device technologies are proliferating and media capacities are increasing rapidly. Diverse many-core processor strategies are pushing higher I/O volumes and more demanding I/O profiles. A new generation of high-business-value markets are taking advantage of analytics and machine learning and further stressing performance boundaries. Traditional file systems only crudely manage flash at scale whereas HDD performance degrades as concurrency increases. IME delivers predictable job performance, provides faster computation against data sets too large to fit in memory, accelerates I/O-intensive applications and provides a safe, cost and space-efficient landing space for bursty data.

IBM Storage Scale
IBM Storage Scale is software-defined file and object storage that enables organizations to build a global data platform for artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), advanced analytics, and other demanding workloads. Unlike traditional applications that work with structured data, today’s performance-intensive AI and analytics workloads operate on unstructured data, such as documents, audio, images, videos, and other objects. IBM Storage Scale software provides global data abstraction services that seamlessly connect multiple data sources across multiple locations, including non-IBM storage environments. It’s based on a massively parallel file system and can be deployed on multiple hardware platforms including x86, IBM Power, IBM zSystem mainframes, ARM-based POSIX client, virtual machines, and Kubernetes.

Sangfor aStor
Sangfor aStor is a software‑defined storage solution that unifies block, file, and object storage into a single, elastically expandable resource pool using a fully symmetrical distributed architecture, enabling on‑demand allocation of high‑performance and cost‑optimized, large‑capacity tiers to suit diverse service requirements. Available as either integrated hardware‑software or standalone software, it scales from just three commodity x86 nodes and supports cloud‑scale clusters of thousands of nodes with EB‑level capacity expansion. Its multi‑node parallel processing and intelligent caching (using RDMA, SSD hot‑data cache, and layering) deliver extremely high throughput, IOPS, and small‑IO performance, boosting cache hit rates to 90% and small‑IO handling by up to 65%, while distributed metadata management ensures jitter‑free handling of billions of files.

OpenIO
OpenIO is a software-defined open source object storage solution ideal for Big Data, HPC and AI. With its distributed grid architecture and unique self-learning ConsciousGrid™ technology, OpenIO scales easily without mandatory data rebalancing, while delivering consistent high performance. OpenIO is S3 compatible and can be deployed on-premises or cloud-hosted, on any hardware that you choose. Scale seamlessly from Terabytes to Exabytes. Simply add nodes to expand capacity, without rebalancing data, and watch as performance increases linearly. Transfer data at 1 Tbps and beyond. Experience consistent high performance, even during scaling operations. Ideal for capacity-intensive and challenging workloads. Use servers and storage media that suit your evolving needs. Avoid vendor lock-in. You can combine heterogenous hardware at any time, of different specs, generations, and capacities.

DDN IntelliFlash
IntelliFlash systems from DDN and Tintri combine the performance and attractive economics for full-service intelligent storage infrastructure that autonomously optimizes SSD-to-HDD ratios and delivers scalable performance. A variety of time-saving management features provide outstanding support for enterprise applications. Consolidate workloads with concurrent multiprotocol support for block, file and object storage, and VMs on a single system. These systems also enhance cost-efficiency with data reduction technologies, near-instant backups and robust disaster protection, and powerful analytics software for faster data insights. Solutions such as DDN A³I addresses unstructured data management and the data-intensive nature of those applications. Call and transaction records, consumer behavior, and other structured data types also benefit from high performance and scalable architectures.
