K2N/K3N-7216 - DataON

DataON K2N/K3N-7216 Switchless Integrated Systems for Azure Stack HCI combine Intel® technology with Azure Arc-enabled Azure Stack HCI.

Optimized for IOPS & performance with all-NVMe flash storage and powered by 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors, the K2N/K3N-7216 are designed for smaller, remote deployments such as small-to-medium sized businesses, remote office/branch offices and edge computing.

Integrated Systems provide an “appliance-like” experience, delivering the fastest time-to-value through the convenience of pre-installed software, integrated drivers, and firmware updates. Simple to procure and deploy, they’re turnkey solutions that require little deployment effort from IT staff.

Available in 2- and 3-node versions, DataON Kepler Integrated Systems feature switchless back-to-back networking for peak simplicity and affordability, plus innovative technologies that set Azure Stack HCI apart at the small scale. Nested resiliency protects you from multiple concurrent failures. Cloud quorum technologies can leverage Azure instead of an appliance virtual machine for a quorum. Kepler 3-node (K3N) solutions provide an additional layer of resiliency over Kepler 2-node (K2N) solutions, essential in environments or multiple ROBO and edge deployments that require 3-way mirror fault tolerance.

Workload-optimized performance with 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors

5th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors help boost performance, reduce costs, and improve power efficiency for today’s demanding workloads, including AI, HPC, security, networking, analytics, and storage.

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. ”
