Product
All-flash arrays (FlashArray)
NVMe all-flash block storage engineered for databases, virtual machines and mission-critical apps, delivering sub-millisecond latency and architecture optimized for sustained I/O. Features include always-on dedupe and compression, active-active high availability and non-disruptive upgrades across performance and capacity tiers such as FlashArray //X (performance) and //C (capacity). Simplicity and reliability reduce operational overhead and lower TCO through consolidation, automation and reduced footprint.
Scale-out file/object (FlashBlade)
FlashBlade provides unified, scale-out file and object storage for analytics, AI/ML, backup and rapid restore, consolidating multi-petabyte unstructured datasets into a single platform. Its parallel, scale-out architecture delivers consistent low-latency access and high aggregate throughput for modern data pipelines. Native instant snapshots and rapid recovery workflows improve ransomware resilience and enable fast restores. Designed to simplify large-scale unstructured data consolidation for enterprise use.
