Enmotus’ FuzeDrive™ Server software transforms off the shelf servers into powerful
hybrid storage solutions.
As the popularity of flash increases, users are looking at ways to utilize flash
in order to accelerate their applications. FuzeDrive eliminates the complexities
of integrating flash into server based storage, providing a simple way to take advantage
of flash’s performance.
FuzeDrive’s leading edge technology utilizes flash as primary tier 0 storage, which
means applications can take full advantage of the performance of the flash storage
media for both reads and writes. Hot data remains on the fast tier permanently,
or until displaced by more active data as space is needed.
A high-speed storage hypervisor virtualizes the storage, monitors data traffic and
promotes the "hot" data to the fast tier in real time, not in a batch process based
on yesterday’s activity. The Enmotus MicroTiering™ architecture maintains system
efficiency and performance by moving only the active portion of files.
Cost Effective SSD Class Performance
Enmotus’ FuzeDrive Server hybrid storage solution with SSD storage fuzed with capacity
efficient hard drives provides SSD class performance at cost points of hard drive
solutions.
The fast tier is primary storage, not temporary cache. Utilizing a new generation
of virtualization and mapping technology,reads and writes for active data occur
at the speed of the flash media, while rarely used or archived files remain on the
cost efficient capacity storage.
FuzeDrive is compatible with all flash media types. Applications that require ultimate
performance can pair NVMe Flash Drives with cost effective SSDs for a high performance,
cost effective all flash hybrid solution.
Independent Scaling Of Capacity And Performance
FuzeDrive Server provides complete autonomy in scaling the fast tier as well as
the capacity tier. Unlike traditional SSD caching approaches, the fast tier can
be made as large as your budget allows or application requires. Likewise, the cost
effective capacity tier can be scaled independently from the performance tier. FuzeDrive
is also not limited to flash-hard drive combinations only; hybrid all-flash volumes
based on high end PCIe SSD and low end bulk SSDs are now possible for those most
demanding of applications.
Increase Server Efficiency, Decrease Total Cost of Ownership
Enmotus’ technology outperforms today’s caching architectures by reducing CPU overhead.Unlike
legacy caching architectures, which can consume increasing CPU cycles the more data
is cached, FuzeDrive’s mapping architecture frees the CPU to run your business critical
or CPU intensive applications.
FuzeDrive increases server efficiency, allowing each server to dedicate more to
applications rather than managing storage, thereby lowering total cost of operation.
Eliminate Management Complexities – Fully Automated Data Management
FuzeDrive Servers real time MicroTiering constantly adjusts to dynamic traffic patterns,
ensuring optimal performance. IT manager’s resources are freed to focus on other
tasks.
Visual monitoring tools provide an easy way to verify that FuzeDrive Server is working
properly and the system is fully optimized.
Visual pinning tools allow an IT manager to Pin a file to either the fast or slow
tier with the click of the mouse. This allows performance critical files such as
data base index files to remain in the fast tier regardless of any other activity.
IO And Bandwidth
User configurable policies allow data migration to be tuned for IOPs or MB/s applications
for each FuzeDrive volume, allowing IT managers to tune for their unique application
environment.
IO intensive applications can take advantage of high performance flash as PCIe or
NVMe flash solutions.
Bandwidth intensive applications can stripe cost effective SSDs in order to supply
more than enough bandwidth for 4K raw video streams.
