New K2 all-Flash storage leads the SSD storage market in consistent performance and resiliency

Kaminario has announced the release of its fourth-generation K2 all-Flash storage array. The K2 v4 delivers unparalleled performance consistency and resiliency to midrange enterprises in a much smaller, denser, greener and lower-priced configuration. Built to meet the growing demand for Solid State (SSD) Flash storage, the K2 v4 is based on the proven SPEAR Scale-out Architecture, the only Flash storage architecture that can deliver consistent and predictable performance for general purpose, mixed workload environments with enterprise-class resiliency and data protection.

Today's legacy storage architectures are 20 years old. Outdated spinning disk architectures can't handle today's 100 percent storage growth per year without driving up costs significantly. Enterprises are especially challenged as business-critical application workloads are expected to grow 70 percent over the next four years. Current scale-up and stack-up SSD architectures compromise latency, bandwidth and consistency in performance for capacity. Only the K2 v4 can linearly grow capacity without degrading the performance of bandwidth, latency or IOPS and, at the same time, provide the resiliency required by enterprises.

Kaminario K2 v4 specific enhancements include:
· Consistently high performance: 400 percent more read/write bandwidth than previous versions with consistently low latency (120 microsecond writes) and industry-leading IOPS for any mixed workloads.
· Lower TCO: K2 provides a 500 percent density increase over previous versions and is now offered at half the price.
· Safety and reliability: Nondisruptive upgrades, guaranteed performance under any failure with minimal impact (usually under 10 percent), hot swappable SAS drives and patent-pending high performance, space-efficient snapshot technology provide consistent enterprise-class SLAs.
Ease: Expanded support for general purpose, server and desktop virtualization (VDI) environments such as VMware VAAI, OpenStack cloud computing and RESTful APIs. Customer's choice of iSCSI and Fibre Channel connections.
