Solidigm NVMe SSDs for performance software-defined storage
Solidigm TLC NAND and QLC NAND SSDs provide high performance and low latency or Azure Stack HCI. All-flash SSDs offer the performance and reliability needed to support multiple workloads with high performance in a single HCI cluster.
NVIDIA networking delivers industry-leading performance & efficiency
NVIDIA ConnectX SmartNICs offer flexibility, higher performance and lower latency through RoCE v2 technology. This allows for more virtual appliances, virtual machines (VMs), and tenants to co-exist on the same hardware.
“DataON offers some of our favorite Azure Stack HCI solutions. The DataON cluster we’ve been testing has posted tremendous numbers, the fastest we’ve seen in a mid-market 4-node HCI cluster.
We’re really impressed with what such a small company (relatively speaking) is achieving. ”
