SolidFire SF3010 Storage Node

Finally, service providers have access to a storage solution that matches the on-demand deployment and scalability needs of the cloud.

Each SolidFire 3010™ storage node is delivered as a self-contained storage appliance that provides the optimum balance of storage performance and capacity. This balance enables system utilization of more than 85% without performance degradation. Aggregation of the storage resources on each SF3010™ node results in capacity and performance scaling up with each storage node added to the system. Storage clusters are built by simply combining multiple SF3010™ nodes over a 10Gb Ethernet grid.

Reaching cloud scale with a SolidFire system is as simple and efficient as adding new nodes as capacity demands dictate.

The SolidFire primary storage solution scales to 100 nodes, 1 PB of capacity, and can host more than 100,000 tenant volumes within a single cluster. At 50,000 IOPS per node, even the smallest deployments erase the server vs. storage I/O gap that has existed for years.

The result is a single storage solution that enables cloud providers to scale efficiently, on demand, and without downtime or any impact on application performance.
