Introduction
XtremIO is an all-flash storage array that has been designed
from the ground-up to unlock flash's full performance
potential and deliver array-based capabilities that leverage the
unique characteristics of SSDs, based on flash media.
XtremIO uses industry standard components and proprietary
intelligent software to deliver unparalleled levels of
performance. Achievable performance ranges from hundreds
of thousands to millions of IOPS, and consistent low latency
of under one
millisecond.
The system is also designed to provide minimal planning,
with a user-friendly interface that makes provisioning and
managing the array very easy.
System Overview
The XtremIO Storage Array is an all-flash system, based on a
scale-out architecture. The system uses building blocks, called
X-Bricks, which can be clustered together to grow
performance and capacity as required.
The system operation is controlled via a stand-alone dedicated
Linux-based server, called the XtremIO Management Server
(XMS). An XMS host, which can be either a physical or a
virtual server, can manage multiple XtremIO clusters. An
array continues
operating if it is disconnected from the XMS, but cannot be
configured or monitored.
XtremIO's array architecture is specifically designed to
deliver the full performance potential of flash, while linearly
scaling all resources such as CPU, RAM, SSDs, and host
ports in a balanced manner. This allows the array to achieve
any desired performance level, while maintaining consistency
of performance that is critical to predictable application
behavior.
The XtremIO Storage System provides a very high level of
performance that is consistent over time, system conditions
and access patterns. It is designed for true random I/O.
