SoftIron Storage Solutions
HyperDrive® Performance+About SoftIron®
SoftIron is the world-leader in task-specific data center solutions. We proudly embrace a unique, task-specific approach to design and manufacturing. This means we’ve engineered our hardware with the singular purpose of optimizing specific open-source software for the task at hand.
The outcome? Spectacular results through specialization, highly integrated hardware and software, and end-to-end support. And, unlike other vendors - because we design and build from the ground up - we are the only ones able to offer secure provenance: the peace of mind that comes with transparent supply chain processes.
We deliver all of this in an incredibly easyto- use, scalable, and turn-key solution for the enterprise.
About HyperDrive®
SoftIron’s flagship HyperDrive enterprise storage solution is purpose-built to optimize the performance of Ceph; the leading open-source SDS platform, renowned for its durability, robust resilience and infinite scalability. Supporting block, file and object storage, Ceph is the ultimate storage solution for enterprises looking to future-proof their data center infrastructure.
- Freedom from vendor lock-in through interoperability with community Ceph distributions
- Blistering, line-rate performance from an architecture completely designed to optimize Ceph throughput
- Flexibility, interoperability and resilience due to legacy, multi-protocol support and no single point of failure
- Low TCO as a result of ultra-low power and heat footprint, no licensing fees and high-density configuration
- Undeniable ease of use through the highly integrated and unique hardware design with an intuitive management interface, delivering effortless usability and streamlined operations
The HyperDrive Performance+ Family
The Performance+ family is the ideal fit for scale-out use cases where durability and performance are paramount. Using x86 CPUs with non-shared PCI lanes and NVMe storage, they provide the lowest latency solution in the HyperDrive portfolio. Clusters can combine Performance+ family appliances with other HyperDrive appliances to deliver multiple tiered or differentiated storage service levels, managed as a single cluster from the same easy to use Storage Manager interface.
Performance+ Key Features
- Ceph protocol performance scalability
- NVMe SSDs
- Task specific design with right-sized CPU and networking architecture for line rate throughput
- Redundant power
Typical Use Cases
- M&E delivery, CGI rendering
- FinTech applications
