ZEUS^IOPS SOLID STATE DRIVE

Zeus^IOPS is a unique solid state drive designed to create a storage performance revolution for enterprise applications. Zeus^IOPS enables storage systems to realize outstanding, sustainable Input/Outputs per second (^IOPS) to relieve performance bottlenecks associated with traditional rotating media disk drives.

Zeus^IOPS breathes new life into existing storage infrastructures, increases server utilization, and reduces the total cost of ownership. Zeus^IOPS eliminates the wait time for processors associated with rotating media access latency.

One Zeus^IOPS drive can replace multiple hard drives, eliminate the need for additional volatile DRAM, and ease the cliff-like performance drop-off in performance from DRAM to rotating media in storage systems. Zeus^IOPS Solid State Drive is revolutionizing the way businesses access critical data by overcoming the performance bottleneck inherent to traditional rotating media HDD storage.

PERFORMANCE

ZEUS^IOPS SSD

Zeus^IOPS Solid State Drive delivers the performance of 200 HDDs with just one drive. While hard drive access times are measured in milliseconds, access times for Zeus^IOPS are in microseconds, enabling a significant increase in random transactional processing.

HIGH RELIABILITY

ZEUS^IOPS SSD

Zeus^IOPS Solid State Drive uses no moving parts and is twice as reliable as the best-in-class enterprise class disk drives. Zeus^IOPS provides a new level of reliability for critical computing environments.

A GREEN LEADER

ZEUS^IOPS SSD

With data center storage capacity requirements increasing 50-60% per year without an end in sight, it is more important than ever to keep volatile power and cooling requirements in check. Without motors to spin or parts to move, Zeus^IOPS consumes about a third of the power of a typical data center disk drive and requires far less cooling. Zeus^IOPS is available in a lead-free (RoHS-6) version.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION

ZEUS^IOPS SSD

Zeus^IOPS is a 3.5-inch, drive that fits seamlessly into existing enterprise storage infrastructures. Because there are no drivers required, Zeus^IOPS appears to any system or RAID controller as just another drive that can be managed by existing storage management tools; true plug-and-play elegance.

LOWER TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

ZEUS^IOPS SSD

For comparable performance requirements, a 200 hard disk drive storage system can cost 5-6 times as much as a Zeus^IOPS system because of additional up-front hardware as well as recurring maintenance, power and cooling costs.
