How to reduce the TCO of your corporate IT infrastructure without sacrificing performance and ensuring business continuity? Is your company ready to face modern threats, including ransomware? InfiniBox G4 is a high-performance enterprise data storage solution designed to address the key challenges facing IT leadership. It’s an investment in your company’s future, providing predictability, scalability, and cyber resilience. It is important to note that the stated benefits, such as reduced TCO and maximized ROI, require detailed analysis in the context of a specific IT infrastructure and comparison with alternative solutions.
Economics of Ownership: Reducing TCO and Maximizing ROI with InfiniBox G4
With ever-increasing data volumes and budgets under pressure, optimizing total cost of ownership is becoming a priority for CIOs, CTOs, and CFOs. InfiniBox G4 is designed with this need in mind, offering significant TCO reduction and high ROI. For an accurate assessment of TCO and ROI, it is recommended to request a detailed commercial offer from the vendor, taking into account the specifics of your infrastructure.
Predictable Costs: Transparent Pricing
One of the main problems associated with traditional storage systems is the unpredictability of costs. Hidden fees for licenses, software updates, and feature enhancements can significantly increase TCO. Infinidat claims transparent pricing for InfiniBox G4. To confirm, you need to request a detailed commercial proposal, guaranteeing the absence of hidden fees and unexpected expenses. This will allow IT management to accurately plan the budget and avoid unpleasant surprises.
Efficient Consolidation: Less Hardware, More Performance
InfiniBox G4 allows you to replace multiple legacy storage systems with one high-performance system. This consolidation leads to a reduction in capital (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx). Consolidation is a standard feature of enterprise storage systems, so when choosing InfiniBox G4, it is important to compare it with competitors to assess the benefits in the context of your tasks. Instead of maintaining several separate systems, you get a single, centrally managed infrastructure. This simplifies management, reduces risks, and increases overall efficiency.
Energy Efficiency: Reducing Electricity and Cooling Costs
In modern data centers, electricity and cooling costs can account for a significant portion of operating costs. InfiniBox G4 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. To confirm energy efficiency, it is necessary to request specifications from the manufacturer with data on energy consumption in various operating modes and compare them with other storage systems. The use of modern components and optimized architecture reduces energy consumption and cooling requirements. This leads to cost savings in the long term and helps reduce environmental impact.
Examples of Potential TCO Savings
- Reducing rack space due to high storage density.
- Reducing power consumption compared to legacy systems (specifications required for confirmation).
- Reducing administration costs through automation and centralized management.
High ROI: Efficiency and Risk Reduction
An investment in InfiniBox G4 can bring a high ROI by increasing efficiency, reducing risks, and ensuring business continuity. Improved performance, scalability, and cyber resilience allow companies to respond faster to changing market demands, reduce downtime risks, and avoid costly security incidents.
Hybrid Architecture of InfiniBox G4: Optimal Balance of Performance and Cost
InfiniBox G4 uses a hybrid architecture that combines the advantages of solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs). The use of a hybrid architecture with persistent memory tier is confirmed by the official Infinidat website. This approach provides a balance between performance, capacity, and cost, making InfiniBox G4 a solution for enterprise workloads.
Automated Data Placement: Intelligent Storage Tiering
InfiniBox G4 uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to automatically place data on the most appropriate storage tier. The use of machine learning for automated data placement is confirmed by information on the Infinidat website. “Hot” data, requiring high performance, is automatically moved to SSDs, while “cold” data, which is rarely accessed, is stored on HDDs. This approach ensures performance for all types of workloads at the lowest cost.
Performance Optimization: All-Flash Speed at a Lower Cost
Thanks to a large cache and advanced algorithms, InfiniBox G4 delivers performance comparable to All-Flash storage systems, but at a lower cost. To confirm the performance comparable to All-Flash, it is recommended to request comparative test results from the vendor, carried out with relevant All-Flash solutions, taking into account your workloads. This allows companies to benefit from high performance without investing in expensive All-Flash solutions. Large cache serves as an intermediate buffer zone, ensuring smooth operation even at peak loads.
Benefits of the InfiniBox Hybrid Architecture
- Optimal price/performance ratio for most workloads.
- Automated storage tiering for maximum efficiency.
- Performance comparable to All-Flash systems at a lower cost (comparative tests required for confirmation).
Continuous Availability and Cyber Resilience: Protecting Your Data and Business
In today’s world, where data is a key asset, ensuring continuous availability and cyber resilience is critical to business success. InfiniBox G4 is designed with these requirements in mind, offering high data availability and protection against cyber threats. It is important to carefully study the terms of the guarantee provided by the manufacturer in terms of ensuring the stated availability.
100% Data Availability: Guarantee of Continuous Operation
InfiniBox G4 provides high data availability through the architecture. The statement of 100% data availability requires analysis of the warranty conditions provided by the manufacturer. This architecture involves the presence of controllers that simultaneously process requests. In the event of a failure of one of the controllers, the others will continue to operate without interruption, ensuring data availability.
InfiniSafe: Ransomware Protection and Fast Recovery
InfiniSafe technology provides protection against modern cyber threats, including ransomware. The description of InfiniSafe corresponds to the concept of protection against ransomware. Confirmation of InfiniSafe technologies can be found on the Infinidat website. It uses immutable snapshots and a logical air gap to protect data from encryption and deletion.
Immutable Snapshots
- Create tamper-proof copies of data that cannot be deleted or encrypted by malicious actors.
Logical “Air Gap”
- Isolates data backups from the main network, preventing malicious actors from accessing them.
Fast Recovery
- In the event of a ransomware attack, InfiniBox G4 allows you to quickly restore data from immutable snapshots, minimizing downtime and data loss.
Ease of Management and Scalability: Reducing Operating Expenses and Readiness for Growth
Ease of management and scalability are critical to reducing operating expenses and ensuring readiness for future growth. InfiniBox G4 offers a management platform and flexible scaling options that allow companies to adapt to requirements.
InfiniVerse: Management Platform
InfiniVerse is a management platform that provides IT management with complete visibility and control over the data storage infrastructure. On the Infinidat website, InfiniVerse is positioned as an AIOps platform. It uses predictive analytics based on AI to predict capacity needs, prevent problems, and optimize performance.
Predictive Analytics
- Predicts capacity and performance needs based on data analysis.
- Prevents problems by detecting anomalies and providing optimization recommendations.
Centralized Management
- Provides a single dashboard for the entire data storage infrastructure.
- Simplifies administration and reduces operating expenses.
“On Demand” Scalability: Flexibility and Savings
InfiniBox G4 scales “on demand,” allowing companies to add capacity and performance as needed. “On-demand” scalability is a standard feature of enterprise storage systems. This avoids over-provisioning of resources and reduces capital expenditures. Scaling is carried out without interrupting the system, which ensures business continuity.
