SolidFire - Storage Built for the Next Generation Data Center

    Scale-out, all-fl ash storage that’s highly available and easy to control — all with guaranteed performance.

    Why SolidFire

    The agility, efficiency, and scalability benefi ts demonstrated from cloud computing infrastructure have raised the bar on expectations for IT service delivery. The pressure is on IT to:

    • Rapidly deploy applications and service
    • Provide more agile and scalable infrastructure
    • Increase application performance and predictability
    • Enable automation and end-user self service
    • Raise operational efficiency and reduce cost

    SolidFire is architected from the ground up to be the storage foundation of next generation data centers.

    * SolidFire’s Effective capacity calculation accounts for Helix data protection, system overhead and global efficiencies including compression, deduplication and thin provisioning. SolidFire customers typically achieve an effective capacity range of 5x to 10x the raw capacity depending on application workloads.
