OSNEXUS QuantaStor SAN/NAS Storage Appliances
Key Features
QuantaStor’s SAN/NAS storage appliances provide a combination of file and block storage suitable for a broad spectrum of use cases. Each appliance contains SSD to accelerate write performance and each cluster must contain a minimum of 3x appliances. QuantaStor’s web-based management interface, REST APIs and QS CLI make storage provisioning and automation easy.

Bread & Butter
ExpandableAdd additional drives to expand capacity. Additional appliances may be added to a given storage grid for easy management of all appliances across IBM data centers. OSNEXUS recommends provisioning a 24 bay or 36 bay server with free drive bays available for expandability as expansion disk-enclosures are not available as an add-on except at the time of initial server/appliance deployment. Expected PerformanceEach appliance is configured with at least one storage pool and each pool will deliver 400MB to 1.6GB/sec sequential throughput depending on block size and number of disks. IOPS are increased through the use of mirrored SSD storage configured as a write log which in turn will increase IOPS to 10K to 20K depending on block size and access patterns. All-Flash configurations will deliver over 100K sustained R/W IOPS.
