The FXT 5000
The FXT 5000 Edge filer series is comprised of two models – the 5400 and 5600. Major enhancements include:
- Higher performance. The FXT 5600 delivers 70% more data throughput than previous FXT models for high-intensity use cases like rendering, genomic analysis and financial simulations, providing extreme performance scaling.
- Higher capacity. The FXT 5600 includes 9.6 TB SSD per node. With the clustering of up to 50 nodes per system, capacity scales to 480TB SSD per cluster, doubling the amount of SSD over previous FXT models.
- Higher density. Both FXT 5000 models are 50% smaller than prior FXT models, occupying just one rack unit per node, thereby providing a lower total cost of ownership in the data center.
“Data center space is expensive whether it’s in your own building or in a rented colocation facility,” said Jeff Tabor, Senior Director of Product Management and Marketing at Avere Systems. “For years, Avere has been helping customers with high-performance computing needs, such as movie studios, hedge funds, and life sciences organizations, to accelerate the performance of their file-based applications and lower the cost of their data storage. The FXT 5000 Series brings this to the next level by delivering more than three times the data throughput and four times the SSD capacity per unit of rack space.”
