PAC Storage (PAC) has announced three latest enhancements to their existing line of hardware: scale-out NAS systems, next generation controllers, and 32Gb FC and 25GbE host boards. Each enhancement dramatically accelerates system performance, providing tremendous benefits to a variety of industries and applications including database, analytics, virtualization, motion media, file sharing, cloud data integration, data science and AI.
The all-new Scale-Out NAS systems product line supports 100+ Gbps performance and scaling to more than 100 PB capacity. These solutions allow capacity and performance to be increased by horizontally adding another node (array) to the system.
PAC Storage is an enterprise data storage hardware solution. Since 2005, PAC SAN solutions have been data center cornerstones nationwide for primary, secondary, backup, and disaster recovery. In 2017, PAC introduced PS storage solutions which offer SAN and NAS, and include cloud gateway options. Offering the ideal price point, PAC feature-rich solutions are renowned for no single point of failure and scalability to petabytes of on-premise storage.
These scale-out NAS systems are joined by new Next Generation Controllers featuring up to twelve cores of the latest Intel CPU technology. Improvements also include doubling the controller cache to 512GBs, enabling PAC controllers to now boost performance by up to 80 percent, fulfilling the demanding requirements of today’s intensive enterprise data environments.
Both PAC Storage PS and PAC All Flash product lines will feature the next generation controllers with all flash designed to deliver optimal SSD performance and response times of less than 0.35 milliseconds, as well as up to 900K IOPS and 10,000/5,500 MB/s read/write speed.
PAC Scale-Out NAS supports adding more nodes achieving more performance and capacity via a clustered system with up to 100 plus GBps read/write speed and more then a 100PBs of storage for the needs of future data growth.
PAC also supports auto-balancing function that supports distribution of data across all nodes in the system. When a large number of users access data simultaneously, the system share the workload through parallel processing, solving the problem of a single node performance limitation and improving the access efficiently.
To prevent critical data loss and ensure continuous storage services PACs Scale-Out system is designed with the support of multi-layer data protection on hard drives, notes, and cluster levels. If any of the elements fails, neither the data will be lost nor the performance will be affected.
If a single node failure is detected, PAC initiates self-healing function to recover the data from the faulty node. On a cluster level, users can use the Rsync feature for remote backup of the cluster file to remote cluster or remote NAS.
Rounding out the new PAC Storage enhancements are 32Gb FC and 25GbE host boards which enable enterprise customers to migrate to the new networking standards for data access acceleration. The 32Gb FC and 25GbE host connectivity more than double system bandwidth via a single lane, making the storage infrastructure more scalable and flexible.
"With this solution, we’ve truly hit it out of the park,” said PAC CEO Rick Crane. “The new scale-ut version of NAS is an outstanding and innovative alternative for our Isilon customers looking for a scale-out environment that’s simple to administer and easy on their budget. Even better, they can take advantage of the Next Generation technology in this product, as well as in our existing portfolio of SAN/NAS."
