XtremIO—BEYOND FASTER. THE MOST INNOVATIVE
ALL-FLASH DATABASE STORAGE ARRAY.
All-flash storage arrays are an attractive choice for high-performance databases. But
until now they have been fraught with scalability and availability concerns, high costs,
and a lack of enterprise features. XtremIO’s ground-up all-flash array design was
created from the start for not only maximum performance and consistently low
latency response times, but also with enterprise grade high availability features, real-

virtualized while maintaining
performance.
CONSOLIDATE DATABASE ENVIRONMENTS
With XtremIO, even multiple high-performance databases can be consolidated onto
a single array with performance headroom to spare. And with XtremIO’s powerful
and instantaneous zero-copy volume cloning feature, multiple copies of a database
can be created for development and test purposes without consuming additional
space in the array and with the full performance potential of the parent database.
This significantly lowers the overall cost of the database environment and improves
application roll-out times since every developer can get a high-performance, personal
sandbox of the production database. XtremIO drastically simplifies even the most
complex database environments.
VIRTUALIZE I/O INTENSIVE DATABASES AND ANALYTICS
APPLICATIONS
XtremIO makes it not only feasible, but easy to virtualize high-performance,
I/O intensive database and analytics applications. With tremendous random I/O
performance, ultra-low latency, deduplication-enhanced array-based copy services
and VMware VAAI accelerated provisioning, XtremIO helps drive virtualization rates

higher by encompassing all applications, even those previously relegated to dedicated
servers and storage. XtremIO brings the benefits of virtualization to applications
where it was previously impossible to deploy.
FLASH-SPECIFIC DATA PROTECTION—WITH FULL HIGH
AVAILABILITY
XtremIO storage utilizes flash-specific data protection that outperforms in every
dimension. Every X-Brick (cluster scaling unit) in an XtremIO system can tolerate
multiple simultaneous SSD failures, making the cluster more resilient than RAID 6.
Yet XtremIO’s data protection algorithms provide superior performance to even RAID 1
(typically used for high performance databases), not just because they run on flash,
but also because they utilize optimally efficient encoding schemes. This delivers
With XtremIO, database applications
requiring tens of thousands to millions
of IOPS and consistently low latency are
ideal performance and protection with dramatically reduced capacity overhead.
An additional benefit is greatly extended MLC flash endurance, since far fewer writes
are required to protect data.

has never been as simple or more

SIMPLE TO DEPLOY. SIMPLE TO SCALE.
XtremIO requires no complex initial setup or tuning and never needs refactoring.
The system inherently delivers maximum performance at all times. When application
requirements grow, XtremIO meets demand with a scale-out design that not only
makes it easy to support additional performance and capacity needs, but that also
seamlessly delivers additional performance to existing databases and applications—
keeping the entire environment balanced as it grows. You’ll never have to redeploy
databases to get more performance.
