Real-Time Content Storage

Accelerate workflows, collaborate and run multiple applications and data streams simultaneously. Delivering guaranteed quality of service, enormous bandwidth for throughput-intensive applications and highly efficient capacity management; this is the storage foundation for content creation and digital archives.

Unstructured data is a different animal. Creating, distributing and archiving digital content requires lots of streaming bandwidth performance, uninterrupted service and a simple, cost-effective way to scale and manage capacity.

Proven at scale for over eight generations, the S2A9900 is the gold standard in the world's most content-intensive environments.

Proven for over a decade in global deployments, Silicon Storage Architecture (S2A) is a purpose-built storage platform designed to solve the data infrastructure problems that others simply can't. Recipient of multiple awards, including Frost & Sullivan's Digital Media Storage Innovation of the Year and HPC Wire's Best Product and Technology of the Year, the S2A9900 is designed to thrive in throughput-intensive environments, with scalable capacity unrivaled in the industry.

The S2A9900 enables clients to run multiple applications simultaneously in parallel (whereas other systems only can run applications sequentially) saving you more time, money and management personnel. Each system cost-effectively provides the highest levels of performance and capacity, managing 3.6PB in only two floor tiles and delivers sustained, real-time throughput of up to 6GB/s for both writes and reads. Gain the performance and capacity headroom to scale, as bandwidth and files continue to grow, while providing real-time data integrity checking, error correction and intelligent drive failure recovery without degrading performance.

The state machine architecture and advanced software capabilities enable users to be more agile, effectively manage the explosion of unstructured data and deploy a centralized information storage infrastructure.

  • Read and Write at the Same Speed

    • The only system to eliminate the standard 50% write performance penalty, so ingest and other write-heavy applications perform faster
  • Real-Time Quality of Service

    • Always at Full-Speed: While write activity, capacity utilization, data integrity checks and drive rebuilds slow down other systems, the S2A9900 always performs at fullspeed to ensure sustained performance
  • RAID 6 – Without Compromise

    • DirectRAIDTM provides the double parity protection of RA ID 6 without the performance penalties found in every other system
  • Accelerate Applications

    Increase productivity with leading in-class performance that removes storage bottlenecks

  • Flexible and Efficient

    Enables more applications to thrive on a single system with the support of high performance and high capacity drive types

  • Consolidates Inefficient Storage

    Reduce floor space, management, power and cooling by collapsing multiple systems into an ultra-dense, highly efficient platform

  • Industry Leading Density

    Housing 60 drives in just 4U enables your data center to scale growth much more cost and space efficiently than other commercial or white-box solutions

  • Robust Data Protection

    Actively prevents data corruption, as data integrity is verified and corrected in real-time on every read & write - without compromising performance in any way.

  • Simple Integration and Management

    Seamlessly integrates into new or existing infrastructures, powerful Web based GUI, CLI, SNMP and email alert options provide for simple, flexible administration

Simple to Scale

 

In just two racks, a single system scales to:

  • • 1,200 Drives
  • • 6GB/s

Aggregate multiple systems and scale beyond:

  • • Dozens of PBs
  • • 240GB/s

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

Deploying S2A9900 means the fewest number of systems to buy, support, power and manage as you scale your environment to multiple petabytes.

    • Single System: Scales from 300 to 1,200 drives
    • Multiple Systems: Proven to support dozens of petabytes
    • Media: Intermix SSD, SAS and SATA in the same enclosure
    • Density: 180TB in 4U and 3.6PB in just two racks (SATA)
    • Single System Bandwidth: UP to 6GB/s Host Throughput (Read and Write)
    • Multiple System Bandwidth: Proven beyond 240GB/s
    • Single System Ports: 8x FC8 Host Ports (Option); 8x infiniband DDR Host Ports (Option)

The Challenge:

Traditional NAS solutions limited market modeling, slowed algorithm enhancement and reduced competitiveness.

The Solution:

DDN delivered a full GRIDScaler solution, with full InfiniBand support, to increase responsiveness by 10x, enable better modeling and higher profits.

The Challenge:

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.
