Excelero, a disruptor in software-defined block storage, announced NVMesh 2, its software-only storage solution built for modern applications that have an insatiable need to scale flexibly and efficiently. Already the lowest latency block storage platform on the market with its 5 microsecond latency, NVMesh 2 adds three critical sets of capabilities that lower barriers to deploying shared NVMe storage across more end-user applications “ an efficiency and performance advantage that delivers customers a time-to-innovation advantage. New capabilities include:
NVMe over any fabric, without changing your network
As most enterprise servers become NVMe-enabled by 2019 (G2M Research), and as the NVMe over fabrics (NVMe-oF) protocol for accessing NVMe over the network takes off, the rush is on to allow more teams to share NVMe SSD resources and apply NVMes performance and cost-advantage anywhere. Exceleros NVMesh 2 is a complete web-scale software solution with the distributed data protection and storage provisioning that make shared NVMe storage practical, efficient and readily managed. With NVMesh 2 IT leaders can:
With the influx of more real-time workloads demanding storage performance that SCSI-based all-flash systems just cant meet, more customers with webscale infrastructures are turning to NVMe, said Eric Burgener, research vice president, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies, at IDC. Software-based solutions like Exceleros NVMesh allow low latency NVMe storage to be efficiently shared across servers over a switched fabric, and offer customers the flexibility to craft these configurations to meet individual requirements in terms of performance, availability, network configuration and choice of hardware.
Customers want IT systems to deliver competitive advantage with architectures that are highly utilized, easily managed and hardware-independent. NVMesh 2 is the only software-defined storage that provides local NVMe Flash performance across the network and more importantly, also delivers the rest of what customers tell us they need for todays modern applications, said Lior Gal, CEO and co-founder of Excelero. We believe with NVMesh 2 we have raised the bar significantly on the agility, efficiency and management features that IT managers should expect from storage going forward.
NVMesh 2 will be generally available in January 2019. For more information visit https://www.excelero.com/product/nvmesh-2-0/
