Major Enterprises of Scale Solving
Real-World Challenges with SanDisk Software-Defined All-Flash
Storage
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), a global leader in flash
storage solutions, today introduced an upgraded all-flash storage
platform with the introduction of the InfiniFlash™ IF150 system,
the latest addition to its InfiniFlash family, which is
transforming data centers around the world. The new IF150 brings
twice the performance via upgraded 12Gbps SAS connectivity, and the
same massive capacity to big data and hyperscale workloads as the
previous generation of InfiniFlash. This further broadens the
potential uses for the next-generation storage platform around a
variety of new workloads, including high-performance computing
(HPC), big data analytics, media services and other high capacity,
extreme performance-demanding applications. Today, SanDisk also
introduced new offerings to enhance the experience for InfiniFlash
customers.
“Since its launch, the game-changing performance and economic
benefits of the InfiniFlash System have been recognized by
customers—from data centers in research institutions doing big data
analytics to web providers, hyperscalers and video streaming
companies who manage data on a massive scale, and more,” said Ravi
Swaminathan, vice president and general manager of systems and
software solutions at SanDisk. “With our new IF150 system, we have
pushed the performance even further, while at the same time
delivering massive-scale storage at a price point that makes
business sense.”
The IF150 system is uniquely suited for both the scale-out and
scale-up environments required by today’s enterprise, cloud and
hyperscale data centers. Delivering up to two million raw IOPS and
consistently low latency, the IF150 system supports demanding
workloads by addressing scalability and availability challenges. It
works intelligently as an integrated hardware, software and open
source system to deliver multiple business benefits to enterprise
customers. It offers up to half a petabyte (512 terabytes) of flash
storage in one 3-rack-unit (3U) system and can directly connect up
to eight off-the-shelf-servers. Like all InfiniFlash systems, the
new IF150 offers massive all-flash storage capacity at a $1 per GB
price point for raw flash – compression and de-dupe capability in
storage software (available from SanDisk InfiniFlash ecosystem
partners) can further dramatically reduce the effective price per
GB.
“While all-flash arrays continue to exhibit strong double digit
growth, the cost of these solutions is undergoing an increasingly
downward trend,” said Eric Burgener, research director at IDC. “As
these flash alternatives reach price parity with HDD-based systems,
we are starting to see more data center customers able to consider
them for their storage requirements. The introduction of the
InfiniFlash IF150 system brings higher performance at an effective
dollar-per-gigabyte price point; in turn allowing a variety of new
enterprise workloads to benefit from flash storage
performance.”
IF150 features and specifications include:
- Exceptional Performance:
Features an enhanced 12Gbps SAS interface, which can deliver up to
two million IOPS, providing new levels of speed and performance in
read/write-intensive environments.1
- Breakthrough Economics and Reduced
Opex: Offers up to an 80 percent reduction in total cost of
ownership (TCO) advantage over HDD-based systems. It is projected
that all-flash arrays are 10x more reliable than HDD-based arrays,
greatly reducing maintenance and FRU expenses.2
- Incredibly Low Power
Consumption: The lowest power consumption – 450 watts average –
of any high-capacity flash storage in the industry, significantly
reducing data center operating expenses.3
- Downsized Data Center Footprint:
IF150 delivers among the highest density – 512TB in 3U – in the
industry, saving costly rack space in the data center, making
efficient use of available power and floor space.
In addition to the introduction of IF150, SanDisk is now further
broadening its commitment to exceptional customer support for the
InfiniFlash systems family with the addition of two new optional
offerings:
- FlashStart™ – A SanDisk
Professional Service for all InfiniFlash storage systems and
SanDisk ION Accelerator™ customers that ensures that all hardware
and software is optimally installed and configured to give all
customers a competitive edge.
- FlashAssure™ – A comprehensive
customer support service including warranty coverage, selectable
Service Level Agreement (SLA) options and onsite field
technicians.
InfiniFlash Customer Quotes:

- “CompuGroup Medical needed a solution
that provided high performance and improved latency to support
diverse and complex workloads,” said Thomas Schend, senior IT
systems architect, CompuGroup Medical. “By deploying the
InifiniFlash System, CompuGroup Medical realized increased data
access speeds, lower power and cooling costs, and a reduced data
center footprint—all in a cost-effective solution.”
- “As part of Wipro’s SDDC strategy, our
next generation SDS reference architecture is designed for seamless
adoption and transition to a flexible, highly-scalable, efficient
and high-performance storage solution,” said Anuj Bhalla, vice
president and business head - Global SI, Maintenance Services and
Products at Wipro. “Wipro’s SDS, powered by SanDisk’s InfiniFlash
technology, brings in unmatched all-flash performance, reliability
at lower cost and SanDisk’s innovation on next-gen flash
dramatically reduces DC footprint, altogether lowering overall
TCO.”
