NVMe All Flash Storage

QSAN NVMe flash storage array provides maximum performance for all your applications to maximize the performance of your enterprise solutions. These and other storage solutions are available at JetStor.

NVMe All Flash Array Storage

Non-Volatile Memory Express, or NVME, is a technology solution for large-scale storage needs. This protocol optimizes the performance of the traditional SSDs (Solid State Drives) that connect through Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interfaces that often lack standards and additional features, higher speeds, and scalability the array offers.

What is an NVMe Flash Array?

An NVMe All Flash Array consists of multiple NVMe SSDs arranged in a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks). This unit configuration provides high-performance, low-latency storage for enterprise applications on a variety of devices. Used as a standalone storage solution or integrated into an existing system, these arrays are designed for non-volatile memory and are highly scalable with extra features.

Benefits of Using NVMe Flash Arrays

This type of flash array can be leveraged, as turnkey or as a build-your-own, to provide unique solutions that unlock optimal levels of storage performance. These benefits include:

• High performance: Significantly increasing performance over traditional SSDs. they are designed to take advantage of the parallelism of SSDs to provide high throughput and low latency, making them ideal for high-performance applications such as databases, analytics, and virtualization.
• Low latency: The protocol reduces the overhead associated with traditional storage, resulting in faster response times for I/O requests essential for real-time applications.
• Scalability: These scale easily by adding more NVMe SSDs to the RAID configuration, making it perfect for enterprises that require large amounts of high-performance storage for use with big data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning workloads.
• Energy efficiency: Due to fewer components and a more efficient data transfer process, they use less power, resulting in reduced power consumption and lower cooling costs.
• Reliability: When it comes to data redundancy and data integrity, the use of RAID technology ensures that in the event of an SSD failure, data is still accessible and recoverable, providing business owners true peace of mind when they rely on data access.

Drawbacks of using NVMe Flash Array

No solution is perfect and this option is no exception. Consider these drawbacks when evaluating your choices.

• Cost: Because it uses high-end NVMe SSDs, this choice is more expensive than traditional storage solutions. However, look for the costs to come down as the technology is more widely used and accessible.
• Compatibility: They require a system that supports the NVMe protocol, which may not be compatible with older systems.
• Capacity: Because of a limited capacity due to a smaller form factor than traditional HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) and SSDs, this may pose a challenge for your needs. However, this is changing as larger-capacity NVMe SSDs become available.

Overall, an NVMe Flash Array is a game-changer and is worth considering. Don’t put your solutions in the hands of just any online storage store. Find an established, reputable, and knowledgeable vendor for your needs. Contact AC&NC today for your just-right solution!
