ClusterMax Density Blade

Maximized performance and storage within a single rack.

The AMAX StorMax-X1 Scale-Up NAS solution delivers an all-in-one storage array that always puts data in the right place at the right time for the right cost and dynamically adapts to meet changing business needs all within a single rack footprint.

• Simplify and manage your entire infrastructure.
• Experience best-in-class efficiency and density.
• Protect your data against downtime and disaster.

Manage and virtualize your data efficiently

The StorMax-X1 delivers optimized efficiency, high availability and flexibility to scale on a single platform and secures data against downtime and disaster with SafeStore TM encryption services, Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs), and a host of native software features, like Self-Healing.

Efficiency
The AMAX StorMax-X1 is an enterprise data storage array that delivers high performance while requiring less power and space. As you continue to grow and scale your infrastructure, your performance will scale linearly.

• Data Deduplication — Intelligently, transparently and actively compares and eliminates identical files on volumes to optimize performance and storage capacity.
• Scalable Performance Storage pooling via ZFS also enables I/O pooling when you add more disks or systems, the overall solution is accelerated.
• Designed for Virtualization The vertical scaling of systems enables the effective use of virtualization technology, as it provides additional resources for the hosted set of operating system and application modules to share.

Integrity
The AMAX StorMax-X1 enables you to continuously protect data against downtime and disaster—without the need for full-volume clones or capacity pre-allocation.

• Flexible Volume Management Permits dynamic changes to the configuration volumes, initiate new functionality online, and add capacity without having to restart servers or remount volumes.
• Revolutionary File System — The ZFS file system provides a host of industry leading file protection features such as thin provisioning, block level mirroring, incremental snapshots and end-to-end checksumming.
• Data Security Protection — RAID-on-Chip (ROC) technology provides additional data security protection using SafeStore TM encryption services and Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs).

Flexibility
Amax StorMax-X1 forms a solid foundation for flexible storage, allowing you to scale up with dynamic business continuity. This can all be accomplished without downtime or disruption.

• Virtualization Optimized — Flexible support for Citrix XenServer, VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V provides NFS and iSCSI based storage to a myriad of virtualized environments.
• Technology independence — Mix and match the latest drive and interconnect technologies, and easily add new technologies as they become available.
• Multi-fabric and Multi-protocol Support — Supports industry standard NAS protocols like NFS, SMB/CIFS as well as iSCSI and 10GbE.
