DataDirect Networks Introduces the Industry's Fastest Big Data Storage Platform - the SFA12KX Appliance Series
DDN SFA12KX Series of Appliances Deliver Extreme Performance at 48GB/s, Helping Customers Accelerate Data Intensive Workflows and Consolidate Infrastructure to Slash TCO
DENVER, Nov. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SC13 (Booth #1307) --
News Facts
-- DataDirect Networks (DDN) maintains its lead in supporting the largest
Big Data, High Performance Computing (HPC), Cloud and data-intensive
environments with the introduction today of its new SFA12K® X series
(SFA12KX)], the industry's fastest family of storage appliance
platforms.
-- With this latest release, DDN is introducing two new models of its
Storage Fusion Architecture® (SFA) technology - the SFA12KX and the
SFA12KXE.
-- The SFA12KX features the most advanced processor technology and a
hyper-optimized operating system to deliver extreme performance at up to
48GB/s and 1.4 Million IOPS from a single appliance, making it the
industry leader in all categories of IOPS and bandwidth. This
performance boost allows customers to deploy Big Data solutions with the
least number of systems - dramatically lowering the total cost of
ownership.
-- The SFA12KXE leverages DDN(TM) In-Storage Processing® technology to
power DDN's high-performance EXAScaler(TM) and GRIDScaler(TM) parallel
file systems, as well as customer applications running natively within
the storage array. The SFA12KXE delivers up to 23GB/s of file system
performance and eliminates external servers and storage networking for a
converged approach that yields significant acquisition and management
savings.
-- With new capabilities including DDN's SFX application-aware Flash
caching, Real-Time I/O and a unique Storage Fusion Fabric® technology,
the SFA12KX series provides customers a trusted foundation for building
innovative storage systems that deliver superior performance for the
most challenging Big Data workloads of tomorrow at the lowest overall
TCO.

SFK12KX Improves Performance, Reduces Cost and Complexity, and Accelerates Time to Innovation
-- The SFA12KX appliances use the latest generation of Intel Ivy Bridge
family of processors and a hyper optimized operating system to achieve
extreme performance targets. This architecture enables customers to
build file storage systems that scale to 1TB/s and beyond with as little
as 21 arrays, allowing consolidation by as much as 10:1 when compared to
competing technologies.
-- The additional processing power also gives an added performance boost to
virtualized applications running within the SFA12KXE, allowing customers
to extract greater efficiencies from their I/O infrastructure, colocate
their applications with their data and reduce the cost and complexity of
storage by eliminating external server and storage networking layers.
-- When combined with DDN's SS8460 enclosures, the SFA12KX reduces data
center sprawl by up to 40 percent as compared to even the highest
density storage array offerings and requires 58 percent less space than
competing scale-out file storage offerings.
Availability
-- The DDN SFA12KXE appliance will be available in Q4'13 and the SFA12KX is
scheduled for general availability in early 2014.

DDN --(http://www.ddn.com/blog) "DDN's SFA12KX appliances are the foundation of
many of the world's most demanding and data-intensive environments, each
requiring massive performance and scale without high cost. With features
such as application-aware Flash caching, Real-Time I/O and in-storage
processing, our SFX12KX appliances will perform at up to 48GB/s, making
this technology the ideal solution for organizations looking to
accelerate Big Data applications and consolidate infrastructure while
dramatically lowering the overall cost of data storage ownership."
