Products Overview

Increase the effective capacity of your existing NAS infrastructure up to 15x with Storwize’s STN-6000p capacity optimization platform featuring real-time lossless data compression. Based upon a powerful multi-core hardware platform, the STN-6000p appliance is deployed between the network, switch and storage providing average data compression of > 65% across multiple applications and more than 90% on business critical applications without performance degradation, enabling it to be deployed in even the most data intensive enterprise environments. The appliance does not require workflow changes, software agents or server drivers and can be deployed seamlessly without any configuration changes to existing environments.

Lossless compression

 

   Product Features:

High Average Data Reduction – combining industry standard compression algorithms with patent-pending technology from Storwize, we provide up to 15x compression across primary storage data types.

High Performance – Storwize provides random access to any part of a compressed file at throughput exceeding 600MB/sec per node meaning we can support the most demanding applications.

Transparency – our solutions require no server or client drivers, and no application or network configuration changes. We’re also transparent and fully complementary with downstream data reduction techniques like deduplication.

Absolute Data Integrity – our patent-pending Data Integrity Assurance Architecture (DIA) ensures end-to-end verification throughout the data stream, fault detection and correction and verification of decompression reliability. Bottom line, you don’t lose any data.

Enhanced Resource Utilization - By compressing at the point of origin, where data is initially created, less data is written to storage, leading to significant reductions in storage systems’ CPU and disk utilization - effective cache size can be improved dramatically.

Selective Filtering - The STN-6000p allows selective filtering so organizations can phase the deployment by configuring which shares will be operating in a compressed mode.

High Availability
- Support for link aggregation protocols (802.3ad and Ether Channel) enables the grouping of multiple Ethernet network interfaces into one logical high bandwidth, redundant link.
