The Econnectix Xpress Disk (XPD) provides high-performance storage applications with challenging I/O needs, such as databases, OLTP, metadata controllers, media writes, real-time I/O, and others.  XPD is a Solid-State Disk (SSD) that uses DRAM-based storage (much faster and more reliable than Flash-based storage) to provide orders of magnitude better performance and latency than the fastest traditional storage systems.  The XPD delivers extremely high IOPS (I/O operations per second), high bandwidth, and very low latency.  Comparing an XPD to the world’s fastest 15k RPM SCSI disk, an entry-level XPD could be considered the equivalent of a 1.8 million RPM drive.

 

Benefits

 

 

Fastest IOPS available for read, write, and read-write mixed

 

Scalable capacity using standard Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs)

 

Low latency microsecond response time, end-to-end, not just chipset latency

 

Best business value in the market.

Features

 

 
Performance

The XPD provides many hundreds of thousands of scalable IOPS, predictable multi-gigabyte bandwidth, and legitimate microsecond response time.  XPD provides equivalent, uniform, and predictable performance for all I/O (reads, writes, read-write mixtures), across block sizes and usage patterns, random or sequential.  No funny math needed to understand XPD performance.

 

 
Standard Fibre Channel (FC) Interface

The XPD installs just like any FC device, direct-attached to a server, or connected to a Storage Area Network (SAN)

 

 

 
Management

Manage the XPD through GUI or command-line interfaces.  Plug the XPD into your normal monitoring systems like any other enterprise device for additional integration.

 

 

 
Health

XPD has sophisticated health monitoring and management, including self-healing.

 

 

 
Guaranteed Persistence

Processing data at memory speeds, the XPD also provides multiple user-selectable data persistence policies.  You choose how to secure data integrity on per-volume basis.

 

 

 

 

 
Compatibility

XPD works with Linux, Windows, AIX, and Solaris.  Additional platforms supported soon.
