<\/p>\nAs one of the leading boutique Open Storage vendors, we stay on the cusp of integrating the newest flash technologies into Pogo Storage products for our customers. In our industry, a 15% network performance gain or storage cost reduction for cloud-based services can deliver the competitive advantage necessary for an agile upstart to gain momentum over a stodgy market leader, making the technology investment justified.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With that in mind, we are proud to announce the immediate availability of the 2TB sTec\u00ae\u00a0s842\u00a0Enterprise\u00a0SAS SSD.<\/p>\n
The newest member of the sTec\u00ae s800 Series SAS SSD product family, the s842 has the right DNA to be a reliable and performance oriented SSD. \u00a0Based on our own internal testing in the Pogo lab, it\u2019s clear that this product is more than just a larger-capacity refresh of an existing enterprise-grade SAS SSD (previously available 200GB, 400GB and 800GB capacities).<\/p>\n

This innovative solid-state storage drive is built for high-endurance and speed, making it poised to solve many of the performance and optimization challenges in the enterprise storage market. \u00a0The versatility of sTec\u2019s new 2TB product will differentiate itself in the crowded flash storage market and align it with the needs of enterprise and cloud-based infrastructure by delivering the right combination of performance, capacity, reliability and durability.<\/p>\n
High-Capacity<\/strong> \u2013 First of all, at 2TB the sTec s842 drive is the largest capacity flash drive available on a 2.5\u201d SAS enclosure \u2013 25% greater than any other serial-attached SCSI (SAS) SSD on the market. \u00a0This factor alone means IT departments can deploy denser and more expanded storage systems in an even smaller 2U to 4U rackmount form-factor.<\/p>\n Fast Performance<\/strong> \u2013 Second, the innovative 2TB sTec s842 SSD continues sTec\u2019s laser-like focus on solving the performance and optimization challenges of the enterprise storage market. \u00a0Right out of the box, the s842 SAS SSDs have been tuned to deliver the highest levels of through-put and low-latencies, offering up to 115,000 sustained random read IOPS and up to 530MB\/sec throughput for sequential reads.\u00a0However, when combined with\u00a0sTec\u2019s EnhanceIO™ Cache Software add-on, the s842 SSD can be fully unlocked to its complete performance capabilities. \u00a0Use-case after high-performance use-case \u2013 enterprise hosted services, virtualized applications and VDI \u2013 immediately come to mind.<\/p>\n Reliability & Durability <\/strong>\u2013 In sTec\u2019s own internal lab tests, the drives delivered the best application performance for all real-world workloads \u2013 not only outperformed competitive SAS and SATA SSDs but also delivered up to 2X the endurance levels. \u00a0For environments that demands quick execution and measurable productivity, the sTec s842 2TB drives are even available in a version that supports unlimited writes for maximum longevity and reliability in write-intensive applications.<\/p>\n All things considered, these are enterprise-class SSDs, so any I\/O-intensive or high data throughput environment (e.g. enterprise database or e-commerce) would benefit. \u00a0However, if you don\u2019t need the storage capacity, or have the network performance spikes, there are probably other SSD or hybrid SSD solutions that could deliver the IOPs at a lower price tag.<\/p>\n High-Performance Storage\u00a0\u2013 <\/strong>In terms of value for SSD investment, we recommend system configurations with sTec™ s842, which would benefit tremendously from the fast throughput and low-latency capabilities (and now capacity!) \u2013 capabilities necessary to address high storage loads and caching without fail.<\/p>\n Questions about configuring a sTec™ solid-state storage solution? \u00a0Give us a call at (888) 828-POGO (7646)<\/strong> to speak with a storage advisor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As one of the leading boutique Open Storage vendors, we stay on the cusp of integrating the newest flash technologies into Pogo Storage products for our customers.
