InfiniBand® has proven to be the ideal interconnect to scale out high performance compute clusters utilized for the most demanding applications requiring the highest levels of performance, reliability, and return on investment.

InfiniBand’s success as a BladeRack cluster interconnect is the driving force behind the demand for the VS7000i native InfiniBand storage from Verari Systems. The VS7000i leverages the InfiniBand server cluster interconnect creating a unified System Area Network simplifying overall system architecture and reducing costs.

Verari Systems’ VS7000i storage system supports the high bandwidth and I/O requirements of demanding enterprise computing and rich media networks, and provides cost-effective and reliable access to large volumes of data. The VS7000i combines next generation storage processors and four 10Gb InfiniBand communication links with enterprise-class features including snapshot, replication and virtualization software. The powerful storage processors and InfiniBand connectivity makes the VS7000i storage system the ideal storage platform to realize the vision of the converged data center by combining communications, clustering and storage on a common System Area Network.

Verari Systems’ VS7000i RAID storage system was designed specifically to provide optimal block level and file system performance for highly scalable, open system computing environments, and delivers unsurpassed performance of up to 1000MB/sec bandwidth through four 10/Gb InfiniBand channels to the host servers.

The VS7000i is optimized for High Performance Computing and rich media applications. Specifically designed for bandwidth intensive computing environments, the VS7000i’s breakthrough architecture delivers up to 1000MB/s of sustained throughput, with exceptional scalability, reliability and management capabilities.

The VS7000i reduces cost of ownership and complexity. By utilizing the VS7000i 10Gb InfiniBand networking connectivity, demanding parallel enterprise computing clusters can achieve higher performance, lower costs, and better integration.

The VS7000i is also the ideal solution for many demanding, non-clustered computing environments. Applications that benefit directly from the price/performance of the VS7000i include backup, replication, disaster recovery, streaming video, data warehousing and database applications.
