Information Technology

With the growth of mobile, social, Big Data, and the Internet of Things, the quantity and variety of data has skyrocketed. The InfiniFlash platform from SanDisk® has been designed around the data storage requirements of an increasingly mobile workforce, social media, Big Data and analytics - while being targeted for hyperscale and cloud workloads. These workloads are also evolving and demanding massive scalability, extremely high levels of availability, and an agility in how IT resources are allocated and used.

The InfiniFlash IF150 - the newest member of the InfiniFlash family - delivers double the IOPS performance of the previous platform via upgraded 12Gbps SAS connectivity. These new performance levels bring the advantages of the InfiniFlash product family to a wider variety of applications, including high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.

Flash Innovation for New Workloads

The InfiniFlash all-flash storage platform empowers large-scale infrastructure and data center architects to deliver massive scale-out storage solutions. Stemming from decades of research and proven industry-leading SanDisk flash solutions, the InfiniFlash platform builds a path to next-generation software-defined storage architectures capable of supporting workloads with instant access to petabytes of data.

The Performance of Flash - The Economics of Traditional Storage

InfiniFlash provides effective dollar-per-gigabyte costs that are only slightly higher than those of traditional storage systems and total cost of ownership (TCO) that is as much as 80% lower.3 Before InfiniFlash, conventional flash, even with cost-reducing technologies such as deduplication and compression, has just not been inexpensive enough to consider for use in many storage environments.

• Up to five times the density, minimizing the physical rack space required
• Up to five times the power efficiency, reducing both power and cooling costs
• Up to ten times greater reliability, ensuring lower downtime and reduced maintenance costs

InfiniFlash Takes Top Honors

The InfiniFlash System continues to gain industry recognition for innovation and vision. We've been honored with the German Data Center Award, the infoTECH Spotlight Data Center Excellence Award, and the Storage Insider Award.

Performance that
Transforms Data Centers

The InfiniFlash System delivers 50x the performance, 5x the density, and 4x the reliability of traditional hard disk drive (HDD) arrays while consuming 80% less energy. With InfiniFlash, you can get the most out of your data center and give your customers experiences and services never before thought possible.

Capacity and Performance at Unprecedented Scale

With up to 2M IOPS and less than 1ms latency, InfiniFlash is specially designed for media streaming, Big Data analytics, content services and other applications where high throughput and quality of service are critical. With InfiniFlash, organizations can scale up and scale out.

Breakthrough Economics

InifiniFlash hardware starts at less than $1 per gigabyte (GB), and breaks the $2 per GB barrier for an all-flash system without compression or de-duplication technologies.

Scale with Confidence

A single InfiniFlash system features up to 512 terabytes (TB) of flash in a 3U enclosure and eight servers that can be quickly connected to achieve massive scalability rapidly.

A Spectrum of Solutions

No two workloads are the same so we've developed configurations optimized for block based storage, object storage and other situations. Our OEM partners have also created specialized bundles.

MASSIVE CAPACITY - IF150

The InfiniFlash System IF150 is a high capacity, high density chassis that offers maximum flexibility for customers who want to build their own systems for Big Data.

SCALE-OUT CAPACITY - IF550

The InfiniFlash System IF550 provides petabyte-scale capacity, high density and performance for OpenStack/Ceph environments delivering breakthrough economics for customers with big data storage requirements.

SANDISK INNOVATES AT ALL LAYERS OF THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE STACK

As a manufacturer of flash memory, SanDisk is in a unique position to deliver end-to-end flash-accelerated solutions with full integration, performance, and reliability. SanDisk innovates at all layers of the hardware and software stack, from unique flash-based building blocks through software, shared storage systems, and integrating with applications.

Best Value, Best Time to Insight

Data delivers value only when insights can be extracted; maximum value requires rapid time to insight. InfiniFlash Systems reduce the processing time for big data from weeks to hours. Compared to older technologies, the all-flash solution avoids complexity and scales to optimally extract value from the largest cloud and hyperscale environments. Rack-scale consolidation of storage enables TCO benefits through IT consolidation and independent growth of compute tailored to application requirements.

Designed for use with web-scale applications, InfiniFlash also includes development libraries for direct application integration, enabling advanced functions like triggers, message passing, and in situ data transformations. Although InfiniFlash can be used off-the-shelf at first release with block- or object-based applications, an included SDK enables customers to optimize their applications for use with InfiniFlash to obtain even better performance, efficiency, and TCO benefits if so desired.
