Pavilion Data Hyperparallel Flash Array

The Composable Disaggregated NVMe Over Fabric Storage Platorm

Enter the Third Wave of storage, where storage systems are designed from the ground up to take full advantage of the parallelism of NVMe, and utilize a composable/disaggregated architecture that eliminates the operational, scalability and utilization challenges of DAS. Download the Pavilion Hyperparallel Flash Array Data Sheet to learn more about the Third Wave of storage, and what true purpose-built NVMe storage looks like.

Pavilion Data is Industry’s leading NVMe-oF Storage Platform. It is a true end-to-end NVMe solution, from the host all the way down to the media. The platform is 100% standards compliant with zero host-side presence and was designed for the modern massively parallel clustered web and analytics applications.

The Power of Parallelism

NVMe is a new storage technology and it is inherently parallel. It is 250 times more parallel than SAS and 2000 times more parallel than SATA. Today, Modern web (transactional) and Machine Learning/AI (real-time analytics) applications are built on massively parallel clustered databases and filesystems because of their high-performance requirements. Examples include Cassandra, MongoDB, HDFS, GPFS, etc.

Pavilion’s Storage Platform delivers the next generation of composable disaggregated infrastructure (CDI) by separating storage from computing resources to allow them to scale and grow independently.

OPENCHOICE Storage

Pavilion OPENCHOICE Storage provides customers the option to purchase their own SSDs to use on the Pavilion Platform and enjoy several benefits from this approach:

The 2nd Wave of NVMe

To take advantage and deliver of this massive parallelism in modern storage media, and to deliver this raw, parallel performance to modern data applications, Pavilion had to challenge legacy scale-up or scale-out storage architectures.

NVMe protocol vastly simplifies the host stack and it results in a massive reduction in host CPU utilization. To deliver on NVMe’s promise, we knew we needed to rely on standards-based NVMe-oF protocol that is native and inbox to most modern server OSes. Unlike other designs, we deliver the true performance of NVMe without encumbering the host with additional proprietary drivers or software.

The result? And ultra-modular 4RU Chassis platform that provides seamless, independent performance and capacity expansion. We realize that an Enterprise AFA is not a JBOF or an appliance. That’s why, when designing our platform, data availability and resiliency was of paramount importance. With no single point of failure, true N:1 redundant controllers, Dual-Parity RAID, Snapshots and clones, along with thin provisioning, our customers now reap the benefits of shared resources but with the performance of DAS at scale.
