ARCHITECTURE

Architecture MSeries
The M-Series is a 4U system with dual controllers. Each controller has NVDIMMs for extremely low latency write caching and there is a high bandwidth PCIe interconnect between controllers to synchronize the NVDIMMs. The controllers share access to 24 x 3.5” drives (HDD, SSD, RI-SSD) and also can share 4 low latency NVMe drives which can be used for metadata or persistent read cache.

* Maximum effective capacity assumes typical data reduction through compression and deduplication.
The M-Series is designed for maximum ZFS performance and five 9’s availability while keeping the storage affordable. With advanced read and write caching and expansion to over 1200 drives, the M-Series is ideal for multi-PB storage. For performance applications, all-flash storage with TLC or QLC flash can provide low latency and very high IOPS at industry-leading prices.
