Two days back, Pillar announced the availability of SSD Bricks for its Axiom Storage Array. SSD bricks will be available for purchase by the month of June. It is under beta testing with three vendors.
SSD Bricks in Axiom allows adding a fifth storage tier, Tier 0, to say appropriately. These SSD bricks are backed by the Pillar’s QoS which offers the selection of different profiles and priorities for the applications that are attached to Axiom.
SSD Bricks includes 12 SSD Drives of 64 GB SATA SSDs. Pillar’s Axiom arrays are built using a combination of “brick” capacity nodes and “slammer” compute nodes that scale performance and capacity independently. Like standard Axiom Bricks, the SSD Bricks will include Pillar’s unique Distributed RAID technology that allows for easy and rapid scalability with no performance degradation. These new Bricks are backed by Pillar’s written utilization and performance guarantees.
