STEC Provides Enterprise-Class SSDs for Pogo Storage's Unified Storage Systems
August 27 2012 - 1:13PM
STEC, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEC), a leading global provider of solid-state
drive (SSD) technologies and products, and PogoStorage, the leading
open source systems integrator, today announced an alliance whereby
Pogo Storage will now feature STEC's highly reliable, high-speed
ZeusRAM® and ZeusIOPS® SSDs in its StorageDirector Z-Series family
of unified storage solutions. The two companies are showcasing the
solution August 26 to 29 at VMworld 2012, booth #2113, in San
Francisco.
Pogo's flagship StorageDirector Z-Series NAS and SAN products
run on the NexentaStor™ ZFS platform, which unlocks
enterprise-class storage capabilities such as high availability,
unlimited snapshots and deduplication, with Open Storage
technologies. Nexenta recently certified an all-STEC SSD-configured
system, which delivers up to 5X better performance for such
enterprise applications as database indexing and email exchanges,
resulting in an 8X reduction in cost per user and a 4X reduction in
cost per transaction.
Utilizing STEC's ZeusRAM SSD as the write log and ZeusIOPS SSD
as the read-only cache within the StorageDirector Z-Series system
alleviates performance bottlenecks. This accelerates read/write
capabilities, which is ideal for business-critical applications,
such as enterprise e-commerce, databases, online transaction
processing (OLTP), cloud infrastructures and virtualization.
"With all the solid-state drive technologies on the market, our
customers and resellers trust us to integrate only the most
enterprise-reliable SSDs into our products," said Erik Logan, CEO
of Pogo Storage. "As the first Nexenta Premier Partner, we are
excited to partner with STEC to integrate their powerful
Nexenta-certified STEC ZeusRAM and ZeusIOPS SSDs into our
StorageDirector Z-Series systems. These SSDs deliver the best
solid-state drive platform to run NexentaStor in terms of I/O
performance and I/Os per second (IOPS), which is consistent with
the quality and performance our customers expect from Pogo
Storage."
"Integrating STEC's ZeusIOPS SSDs into Pogo's groundbreaking
StorageDirector Z-Series solution, powered by Nexenta's OpenStorage
software, provides the enterprise market with a high-performance,
high-availability storage solution," said Jim Ting, vice president
of product marketing at STEC. "This all-SSD solution delivers
incredible I/O performance at a price point not achievable using
HDDs."

Z Series product in the STEC booth, #2113, at VMworld
