With the Starboard Storage AC Series you have the ability to tackle one of the most difficult problems facing mid-tier IT departments today – managing modern application workloads. Your unstructured, virtualized and structured data all have different requirements, and your file and virtualized data are growing relentlessly, making the challenges worse every day. You need a better way to manage your data. Starboard SSD Hybrid Storage systems bring you the performance of solid state with the capacity of affordable HDD.

What is SSD Hybrid Storage?

The Starboard Storage AC Series are SSD hybrid storage systems bringing expert storage capabilities to IT professionals with industry leading performance for less. Starboard Storage's SSD hybrid storage systems provide performance as a utility and capacity on-demand to dramatically simplify managing modern application workload environments. The Starboard Storage AC series provides simple, efficient application consolidation onto a single scalable storage system, optimizing the configuration for each application. Experience the simplicity and power of the AC Series, the Starboard Storage hybrid storage solution includes:

• SSD and HDD technology designed to deliver great $/GB and $/IOP
• SSD and HDD resources virtualized providing performance as a utility to applications
• A Dynamic Storage Pool™ virtualizing all HDD resources to provide capacity on demand
• Multi-protocol support for iSCSI and Fibre Channel coupled with merging NAS and SAN storage into a single platform enabling efficient storage consolidation
• Application-Crafted™ optimization of volumes across multiple storage protocols including CIFS, NFS, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel

That is what SSD hybrid storage is!

The Starboard Storage AC Series was specially designed to manage modern application workloads so IT administrators can dramatically reduce the time and cost of managing structured, virtualized and unstructured data storage. Dynamic storage pooling and SSD Accelerator Tier™ make this happen.

Save Costs and Consolidate Mixed Workloads with Dynamic Storage Pooling

Starboard’s next-generation Mixed Application Storage Tiering (MAST™) architecture introduces the Starboard Dynamic Storage Pool, cutting administrative complexity by eliminating the concept of RAID groups and delivering capacity on demand for your applications. There’s no more complex RAID group setup or management, no meta-LUNs, no protocol layering, and no lengthy re-builds or re-striping. You benefit from simple and cost-effective scalability with the ability to mix and match drive speeds and capacities; adding drives results in an immediate boost in capacity and performance. The storage pool is thin provisioned for utilization efficiency, and dynamic storage pooling increases reliability. Unified storage systems are often legacy systems with converged NAS and SAN storage with a combination of SSD and HDD bound by a unifying GUI. SSD Hybrid storage systems are built from the ground up. The bottom line is a radically improved management scenario for administrators juggling application workloads.

Industry leading performance for less with the SSD Accelerator TierThe Starboard Storage AC series allows users to share information quickly and reliably by combining the virtually instantaneous access of solid state technology with the state-of-the-art performance optimization features of the SSD Accelerator Tier. These virtualized SSD resources deliver performance as a utility for all of your applications lowering operational overhead, and delivering tuned storage that maintains consistently high application performance. SSD resources are allocated to applications when they need them and returned to the pool to accelerate other applications when no longer required. Starboard’s dynamic storage pooling and SSD Accelerator Tier deliver industry leading performance for less.
