XTREMIO’S UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE

CONTENT-BASED DATA PLACEMENT

Scale-out. Inherent balance. Data reduction.

DUAL-STAGE METADATA ENGINE

Consistent. Predictable. No garbage collection.

XTREMIO DATA PROTECTION

Superior capacity, endurance, performance.

SHARED IN-MEMORY METADATA

Zero impact copy services.

• Consistent, Predictable performance at scale

• In Line De-Duplication (and Compression soon)

• Exceptional capacity

• Superior SSD endurance

• NO garbage collection











• Stores data in 4KB chunks

• All Luns are Thin

• In-Line De-Duplication (and Compression soon)

• Calculates a unique fingerprint and stores only unique data chunks

• Evenly distributes blocks across the cluster and SSDs

• Eliminates hot spots

• Stores metadata (fingerprints) in memory











• Maps host address to content fingerprint

• Maps content fingerprint to the physical location on SSD

• In the event of an SSD failure, the fingerprint can be used dynamically updated with a new physical location











• XDP does not use RAID

• Performance is maintained even at 100% capacity

• Lower overhead due to freedom of where to write data

• Avoids garbage collection overhead

• Less management overhead – No RGs, Pools, etc.

• No hot spares.











• Maintains predictable performance

• Regardless of volume size

• Regardless of access pattern

• Provide instant cloning with metadata (VAAI)

• Reduced backend IO

• Increases SSD longevity

• Virtual bandwidth illusion
