About DDN SFA18KX

At up to 3.2 million IOPs and 90GB/sec from a single 4U appliance, the SFA18KX™ is the fastest storage solution in the industry today. With the ability to drive an unmatched number of flash (NVMe and SAS) devices and spinning drives in the least amount of space. Built with 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, this extreme level of density makes the SFA18KX ideal for data centers with limited space, or any high-performance environment wanting to be able to expand capacity without adding the complexity of many appliances to manage and the cost of powering and cooling a large number of controllers. Converged hardware significantly reduces costs and complexity with a lower number of ports, cables, and network devices. SFA18KX delivers unprecedented density per rack unit, per system and provides up to 13PB in a single rack Scalable, declustered RAID provides superior rebuild times, higher data availability, and protection for new large format drives.
