IBM Storage Scale

IBM Storage Scale (formerly known as GPFS) is a powerful, enterprise-grade parallel file system designed for high-performance computing environments. By integrating Xinnor's xiRAID software RAID, organizations can dramatically enhance their GPFS storage infrastructure, achieving unprecedented performance, reliability, and scalability.

xiRAID Advantages for IBM Storage Scale

Advanced Performance Optimization

xiRAID leverages modern x86 CPU's AVX technology and a lockless data path to maximize throughput, dynamically allocating stripes across CPU cores to eliminate bottlenecks.

Flexible Hardware Integration

As a software RAID solution, xiRAID seamlessly integrates with IBM Storage Scale, giving you the freedom to choose your preferred hardware configuration.

Robust Data Protection

Implement advanced RAID levels like RAID 6 with minimal performance overhead, ensuring data integrity and fault tolerance for your GPFS environments.

Resource Efficiency

Unlike hardware RAID, xiRAID minimizes system resource consumption, leaving more computational power for your critical workloads.

Seamless File System Compatibility

xiRAID exposes a block device that integrates effortlessly with any file system, including IBM Storage Scale, enabling quick and straightforward deployment without complex configuration requirements.
