Infinidat Unveils the InfiniBox™ SSA II Solid State Array: Faster Performance, Expanded AIOps, and Comprehensive Cyber Resilience

Infinidat, a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, announced the InfiniBox™ SSA II, the next generation solid state array in the company’s broad portfolio of storage and cyber resilient solutions. With this announcement, Infinidat is extending its groundbreaking cyber resilient capabilities with InfiniSafe® to primary storage and rolling out significant enhancements to the performance, AIOps, and efficiency of the company’s first generation of the InfiniBox SSA. The new InfiniBox SSA II now stands as the industry’s fastest all-flash storage array with unprecedented low latency.

“Infinidat is accelerating its business with the InfiniBox solid state array platform, expanding our opportunities and capturing all-flash wins in the enterprise storage market where the highest levels of performance and availability, extensive cyber resilience, and cost-effectiveness are required for the most demanding applications and workloads,” said Phil Bullinger, CEO at Infinidat. “We have a comprehensive portfolio of enterprise storage and cyber resilient solutions powered by a common software architecture across our InfiniBox, InfiniBox SSA II and InfiniGuard platforms, having expanded and enhanced the value and capabilities we are bringing to our customers extensively since early 2021.”

Today’s announcement is comprised of four key components:

• Infinidat is extending cyber resilience − a hallmark of its InfiniGuard® secondary storage system − to its primary storage platforms with the InfiniSafe Reference Architecture to encompass the complete portfolio. InfiniSafe combines immutable snapshots of data, logical air gapping, fenced forensic environment, and virtually instantaneous data recovery, and is now extended into the InfiniBox SSA II, as well as the entire InfiniBox family. Cyber resilience is among the most important and highly demanded requirements of enterprises today to ensure exceptional cybersecurity and combat cyberattacks across the entire storage estate and data infrastructure.
• The new InfiniBox SSA II delivers lower latency than any other comparable enterprise storage platform in the industry, delivering an unprecedented 35 microseconds of latency. This enhancement will allow customers to not only have optimal application and workload performance, but also allow for substantial storage consolidation, dramatically transforming storage performance, increasing efficiency, and reducing total cost.
• Infinidat has enhanced its core software, optimizing for additional interconnects while increasing parallelism for additional cores. New algorithms also provide for workload optimization. Harnessing these updates as a core software element, Infinidat’s Neural Cache is able to provide InfiniBox with consistently high performance and the lowest latency. Furthermore, the InfiniBox, including Neural Cache with its industry-leading cache utilization, automatically adapts to changes, such as adding new servers and applications without human intervention. The set-it-and-forget-it approach that Infinidat pioneered reinforces the ease of use and very low administrative overhead that users experience with the InfiniBox platform.
• Infinidat is introducing InfiniOps™, a world-class operations portfolio that features AIOps inside the box with InfiniVerse™ as well as tight integration with the ever-widening AIOps data center ecosystem and expansion of DevOps solutions. As part of this announcement, the company is also rolling out new CSI 2.1.0 support for Kubernetes, VMware Tanzu, and RedHat OpenShift environments. Additionally, Infinidat is delivering Ansible integration enhancements to simplify storage system management and integration.

The combination of InfiniSafe, performance enhancements, and expanded InfiniOps integration capabilities in the new system disrupts the status quo in the all-flash storage industry. The InfiniBox SSA II continues to raise the bar in performance, utilizing 100% solid state technology for persistent storage, which when coupled with Neural Cache and the company’s software advancements with autonomous automation, takes groundbreaking performance to the next level. In addition, the new SSA II delivers the same 100% availability, white glove service, and lower total cost of ownership that defines the industry acclaimed InfiniBox customer experience.
