Summary
Infinidat Launches New AMD-Based G4 Storage And Adds New Security, Consumption Model Infinidat is using AMD processors for its latest InfiniBox G4 for the first time to increase performance and cut power consumption, and is adding a new controller upgrade program, a new consumption-based pricing model, and integration of its data protection capabilities with third-party cybersecurity software. “We are dramatically upgrading our array platforms with twice the performance and delivering a whole set of hybrid multicloud and cybersecurity software for storage for enterprise,” said Eric Herzog, chief marketing officer for Waltham, Mass.-based Infinidat.

But the one thing that stands out to me is the G4 will enable me to take an industry-leading product and put it into environments where it wasn’t a fit before.” In general, Infinidat has developed a strong offering by paying attention to what customers want and need, Elliott said.
