& Big Data analytics are under constant pressure to improve performance with a minimum change in cost. In this environment, continuous & exponential data growth has made storage a constant bottleneck. We have developed an innovative Flash memory based architecture that delivers a 10X performance improvement at hard disk costs, while maintaining complete transparency and yet delivering an extensible, architecture that is tune-able to the Big Data workloads. Argil delivers all the benefits of Enterprise SANs in a highly scalable architecture, without the high cost or performance bottlenecks of today’s SANs.
