American Megatrends Launches New StorTrends 3500i SSD Array for Flexible, High Performance Storage for the Enterprise
Summary
The SAN storage solution features hot-swappable dual controllers with Active/Active or Active/Passive high availability and redundant, hot-swappable power supply units.By running the free StorTrends iDATA tool, customers can easily identify how much flash is required to support their environment.The StorTrends iDATA tool analyzes capacity utilization, IOPS usage, reads vs. writes for volumes, network bandwidth, performance, server statistics and more to classify the amount of “hot data” and “cold data” required.Optimized to support VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix and RHEV enterprises of all sizes, the StorTrends 3500i is available as a hybrid or full flash array and delivers dramatic enterprise performance and reliability at an extremely affordable price point.“We observed in our hands-on Technology Validation of the StorTrends 3500i array that AMI has crafted SSD into a mature, field-proven, and well-architected storage system.Here, customers may manage datastores and VMs with ease and view overview data on the system’s capacity, health and many storage resource management charts.“Enterprises are demanding higher performance and availability to serve resource intensive applications such as virtual desktop infrastructure and heavy-transaction databases, and traditional disk arrays simply cannot meet the demand,” said, Justin Bagby, Director of StorTrends Division at American Megatrends.
