Nimbus Knowledge launched FlashMax as its next-generation multiprotocol all-flash platform for contemporary information facilities. Positioned as a successor to the corporate\u2019s FlashRack line, FlashMax combines PCIe-based enlargement, rack-level resiliency, and next-generation information discount whereas presenting block, file, and object providers inside a single namespace.<\/p>\n

Thomas Isakovich, founder and CEO of Nimbus Knowledge, says conventional enterprise storage has grow to be overly advanced, rising prices and decreasing effectivity. He explains that Nimbus Knowledge\u2019s FlashMax product adjustments the technical design (structure) and the enterprise mannequin of enterprise storage, offering a flash-based information platform targeted on simplicity, simple scalability, and long-term value effectivity (sturdy financial benefit).<\/span><\/p>\n

FlashMax applies hardware-accelerated block-level deduplication and compression to scale back uncooked capability necessities and related rack house and energy calls for. Nimbus Knowledge additionally emphasised using industry-standard NVMe SSDs fairly than proprietary flash modules, positioning the platform as a strategy to keep away from lock-in whereas bettering capability affordability and provide availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
