GS All Flash Features

Enterprise All Flash Array Storage

GS All Flash 2000 is a great-value cost/performance solution providing power of flash storage and great compatibility with nearly any organization.

Powerful Unified Storage Performance and Reliability

GS is a unified storage system that supports both block and file-level applications, and incorporates Infortrend’s unique block-device design and highly reliable RAID technology to deliver powerful performance and reliability.

Optimized SSD Performance with Low Latency

GSa family provides optimal SSD performance with low latency and extensive SSD lifespan, and can handle more than 700K IOPS for random reads with a response time of less than 0.5 milliseconds. It is ideal for demanding enterprise workloads such as database, virtualization, VDI, Microsoft Exchange, and media/entertainment—related applications.

High Availability with Redundancy

GS line of all-flash arrays are designed with no single point of failure technology (redundant controller hardware) for redundancy and include our enhanced firmware with Intelligent Drive Recovery (IDR) and SSD lifespan monitoring features to ensure data availability. It also supports SAS to SATA bridge board for compatibility with cost-effective SATA SSDs.

EonOne—an Easy-to-use Interface for Storage Management

EonOne offers easy-to-use and web-based management interface that can be operated remotely via web browser, reducing the storage management complexity. Its intuitive interface design allows centralized management of multiple systems, monitoring of performance and capacity usage, and completion of all system—related configurations.

A Software Platform Allows User to Run and Manage Applications

The App Store features templates for various Docker container images—artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of things (IoT), video surveillance, and much more. A template specifies a Docker container image along with preset parameters of the execution environment. By using a template, you can quickly deploy and run a Docker container with little fuss.

Rich Selections of Host Interfaces

GS offers versatile host interfaces: 8Gb/s FC, 16Gb/s FC, 32Gb/s FC, 1Gb/s iSCSI, 10Gb/s iSCSI, 40Gb/s iSCSI and 12Gb/s SAS. Enterprises can choose according to their needs. Furthermore, 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE and 40GbE ports are also offered for fast and reliable data sharing and transfer in network environments.

Cloud Ready for Future-proof Expansion

Anticipating the exponential growth of enterprise data, GS offers optional cloud gateway that connects to cloud services such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, OpenStack Swift, Google Cloud, Wasabi Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Baidu Cloud and Tencent Cloud for future-proof support of capacity expansion or remote—backup to the cloud.

Cache Backup Module (CBM) to Prevent Data Loss

When unexpected power failures occur, Infortrend CBM will kick-in and use the backup power to store cache data to flash module and prevent potential data loss. Once external power is back on, the data in the flash module will then be restored to drives. CBM can effectively reduce data loss.

Modular Design to Lower Maintenance Complexity

GS family offers the modular design of the power supplies, fans, controllers, host boards, and other storage components to lower maintenance complexity. If any module fails, Enterprises can simply replace with a functional one. Coupled with quick technical support and RMA services, your storage system is well-protected from any down time, resulting in better productivity and reliability.
