FlexiRemap Technology
Software that unleashes the true performance of flash storage.
FlexiRemap Introduction
Enterprise IT requires high-performance systems to handle today's diverse applications and massive volumes of data. Conventional hard disk drives (HDDs) or RAID storage systems often can't manage huge amounts of data instantaneously, creating a bottleneck to data access. Modern all-flash arrays have been designed specifically to meet the demand for enhanced storage performance.
All-flash arrays belong to a new category of enterprise-storage systems comprised of flash memory, or, more popularly, solid-state drives (SSDs). In contrast to HDDs, which typically handle hundreds of random I/O requests per second, SSDs can handle tens of thousands of random I/O requests per second.
AccelStor's all-flash arrays with FlexiRemap technology are excellent solutions to the problem of effectively handling intensive random writes and I/O workloads. FlexiRemap is flash-oriented software featuring a unique architectural re-design that speeds up random I/O requests, a major cause of storage-access slowdowns. Unlike RAID algorithms, FlexiRemap remaps data whenever beneficial before passing it to the underlying flash memory, avoiding unnecessary overhead and extending the lifespan of SSDs.
In addition, SSDs are much more energy efficient than HDDs, consuming half to one-third of the electrical power, and latency can be as low as one fiftieth as compared to HDDs. These advantages make AccelStor all-flash arrays with FlexiRemap technology a great choice for optimal storage performance.
