The Performance of NVMe™ Flash in Shared Storage
- 1. OpenFlex™ Data24 NVMe-oF™ Storage Platform The Performance of NVMe™ Flash in Shared Storage Western Digital’s OpenFlex™ Data24 NVMe-oF™ storage platform extends the high performance of NVMe™ flash to shared storage. It provides low-latency sharing of NVMe SSDs over a high-performance Ethernet fabric to deliver similar performance to locally attached NVMe SSDs. Unsurpassed connectivity in its class using Western Digital RapidFlex™ NVMe-oF controllers, allows up to six hosts to be attached without a switch, like a traditional JBOF. NVMe-over-Fabrics, or NVMe-oF, is a networked storage protocol that allows storage to be disaggregated from compute to make that storage widely available to multiple applications and servers. By enabling applications to share a common pool of storage capacity, data can be easily shared between applications or needed capacity can be allocated to an application to respond to application needs. OpenFlex Data24 NVMe-oF storage platform can also be used as a disaggregated storage resource in an open composable infrastructure environment using the Open Composable API. OpenFlex Data24 is built to deliver high availability and enterprise-class reliability. The entire platform, including SSDs, is backed with a 5-year limited warranty. Designed for Government The ability to process data quickly, to be nimble and make timely decisions requires highperformance resources. OpenFlex Data24 offers a pool of NVMe-oF storage that can be shared and leveraged across applications that optimizes utilization of resources when they are needed and delivers extreme performance to support timely decisions. TAA compliance allows this product to be sold via specific government channels and FIPS 140-2 validated drives (forthcoming) offer increased assurances for secure environments.
