The Grid is a software-defined storage platform that virtualizes the entire storage stack and distributes this across powerful grid architecture to deliver simple, powerful and incredibly affordable storage. Through this approach, the Grid is capable of optimizing individual workloads through independently optimized virtual controllers. This design allows the Grid the ability to uniquely optimize to the specific I/O requirements of each virtualized and non-virtualized workload.
The Grid delivers storage without limits to capacity, I/O and processing, breaking free of the limits of traditional storage arrays. The Grid architecture separates the control layer from the physical storage, making the overall solution more powerful as it grows, while at the same time allowing the storage nodes to become very simple devices.
