SAN FRANCISCO, USA: Storage company Nimbus Data Systems unveiled its new E-Class flash memory system, a fully-redundant multiprotocol solid state storage system. With record-setting capacity and unprecedented power, cooling and rackspace efficiency, the E-Class outperforms and costs less to operate than conventional disk arrays while providing the high-availability, scalability and cost reduction that enterprises and cloud providers demand, claims the company in a release.

"Customers are not satisfied with hybrid storage arrays or proprietary tiered systems that offer only modest performance gains, do not improve efficiency, and lock-in customers to one vendor for all of their storage capacity. With the Nimbus E-Class, the ultimate goal can be achieved: a best-in-class all-flash primary storage infrastructure that helps our customers leapfrog the competition in both IT performance and profitability."
Features: Multiprotocol solid state system with no single point of failure and enterprise-grade flash.
Can support 500 TB as one logical pool.
Touted to even eclipse 15K RPM disk arrays by over 3x and consumes as little as 5 watts per TB.
Comprehensive data management software and "unified" storage without any licensing fees.
With no-single-point-of-failure, the Nimbus E-Class is ideal for applications such as enterprise-wide server virtualization, web infrastructure, database clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and high-performance computing. The E-Class platform consists of a pair of redundant controllers and up to 24 solid state storage enclosures, adds the release.
Each E-Class controller supports up to four active-active IO modules including 10 Gigabit Ethernet, fibre channel, and Infiniband. Nimbus software automatically detects controller and path failures, providing non-disruptive failover. The E-Class also supports online software updates and online capacity expansion. With RAID protection and hot-swappable flash, power, and cooling modules, components can be easily replaced without downtime.
