XIOtech Corporation

Description

X-IO’s Intelligent Storage Elements aren’t designed-for-the-cloud. They’re far more mature than that. Based on a $100M Seagate investment that began in the early 1990s, with more than 10 years of deep and systematic R&D by the world’s leading drive manufacturer, the Intelligent Storage Element has been available in the enterprise storage market for more than five years, with thousand of units in operation.

Because we engineer every aspect of our product for efficiency, including the enclosures and power supplies, ISEs are the most energy-efficient, cool-running, rack-dense storage arrays in the market. Our dual redundant power supplies draw a mere 700 watts, and power up to 48 TB of raw storage within a 3U enclosure that displays a front-to-back temperature differential of less than 15 degrees Centigrade, with very low ambient heat dissipation.

But the ISE is ideal-for-the-cloud, for many cloud service providers. Our ISE product line, which scales from less than 20 TB to hundreds of petabytes, one 3U unit at a time, with between 50,000 and several million IOPS, and up to 2 GB/second of throughput per ISE, is expressly designed for use in high-performance, variable-demand, virtualization and DBMS environments, where balanced performance and scalability are crucial.

Many of the industry’s VDI performance high-water marks were set using X-IO hybrid ISEs. And our customers, report, uniformly, that their VDI environments sail through boot storms, run as fast when full as they did the first day they were in production, and never, ever, fail. “Set and forget VDI,” one of our customers called it. And that’s exactly what we were aiming for, when we invented the first true hybrid ISE in 2011.

That kind of value proposition — superior price/performance, superior TCO, and a superior operational profile for cloud deployment — raises a lot of eyebrows when we talk about it. Don’t take our word for any of this.
