DDN | SFA10K-E™

Unified Virtual Server & Storage Appliance

Revolutionizing the way data centers architect their IT infrastructure, the SFA10K-E is the next leap forward. By removing the physical layer and latencies created between servers and storage, now everything is accelerated. Applications and their data can share the same memory space driving more performance, productivity and cost savings for your organization. This is the forefront of storage evolution.

The "E" is for embedded, which enables latency sensitive applications to live right inside of the world's fastest and most scalable storage appliance, eliminating several protocol layers and the need for an external server. Now you can truly do more with less.

The SFA10K-E is purpose-built to simplify and tame big data growth, enabling you to architect and scale your environment more intelligently, efficiently and cost effectively than ever before.

DDN's legendary innovation is once again driving storage evolution. The SFA10K-E is the first appliance of its kind to provide both virtualized server and high availability storage resources in a single, consolidated platform. This intelligent architecture eliminates the cost, power, cooling, and rack space of physical servers and failover hardware while reducing latencies, improving availability and simplifying management for capacity rich and I/O intensive workloads.

Breaking the cost and performance barriers of traditional architectures, the SFA10K-E ushers in a new era of technical possibilities, cost-efficiencies and opportunities for your organization to accelerate ahead of the competition. By removing the storage bottleneck, now you can achieve significantly higher levels of performance from compute clusters, enabling you to finish jobs quicker. Operational costs will shrink, as you reduce the amount of external servers, switches and less efficient storage to house, power, manage and maintain.

Embedding high performance, latency sensitive right inside the storage appliance enables all transactions to occur in memory - the fastest speed possible. Today, DDN offers our EXAScaler™ and GRIDScaler™ turn-key file storage solutions with the file system embedded and pre-configured inside the SFA10K-E to streamline deployment and configuration. DDN supports OEM application solutions development for the SFA10K-E in areas such as data protection, scale-out NAS, surveillance, rich media, hosting environments, high performance computing and others. Our Application Lab works with OEM partners to ensure interoperability and characterize performance providing a storage-centric application platform alternative.

  • Industry Leading Performance & Capacity

    Significantly reduces capital and operational expenses with fewer systems to purchase and manage

  • Industry Leading Density

    Reclaim valuable floor space, reduce power and cooling costs 60 Drives/4U enclosure; 2.4PB/Rack

  • Supports Most Drives

    Up to 1,200 disk drives in a single storage system for simple, cost-effective scalability

  • Enterprise-class SATA Data Protection

    Makes large SATA pools with high duty-cycles reliable at half the price of SAS or FC drives

  • Reduces Energy Consumption

    By 50% eliminating unnecessary storage enclosures, switches, fans and power supplies

  • Largest Scalable Storage Building Block

    Block Reduce management cost, complexity and risk

  • Scales Incrementally

    Add as few as 5 disk drives at a time

In just two racks, a single system scales to:

  • • 1,200 Drives
  • • 6GB/s

Aggregate multiple systems and scale beyond:

  • • Dozens of PBs
  • • 300+GB/s

According to IDC, data is poised to grow 40x over the next 10 years. How will you stay ahead of the demand?

Deploying SFA10K-E means the fewest number of systems to buy, support, power and manage as you scale your environment to multiple petabytes.

Highly flexible, the SFA10K-E supports multiple RAID levels and configurations. Start as small as 5 enclosures. A single SFA10K-E scales to 1,200 drives in just 2 racks and additional systems can be added to efficiently manage dozens of petabytes.

Across the NIH campus, various research organizations were challenged with deploying the right amount of performance and capacity to their organizations.

The Solution:

DDN deployed over 4 Petabytes of GRIDScaler and Direct-Attached solutions to several divisions of the NIH who depend on DDN mission-critical offerings to support their daily cancer and disease research.

The Challenge

Urgently required an extremely scalable and high performing storage platform that could seamlessly grow to support the archive and distribution requirements from over 300,000 file new file uploads per day.

The Solution

A petabyte-scale GRIDScaler SFA10K solution was selected to deliver the performance required by 10,000s of large scale transfers per hour and the scalability to meet anything tomorrow presents their high-growth business.

The Challenge

Deploy a dynamically-scalable solution to manage 10x the sequencing throughput as compared to other state-of-the-art sequencing systems.

The Solution

ION Torrent purchased GRIDScaler to serve as their research data infrastructure with the capability to grow over 1000% in the future.

The Challenge

Needed a scalable storage platform to digitize 50 PBs of Genealogy Records in the form of 1 Billion images that had to be scanned at the rate of 2,000 images per second.

The Solution

Deployed a GRIDScaler solution that allowed FAMILYSEARCH to scale their business to any level – current and into the future while simultaneously increasing customer satisfaction by improving image load time and enhancing user experience.
