Why customers need

high-density, high-capacity storage

Data centers face mountains of data every day—and the need for efficient, high-density storage is growing fast. IDC predicts that data collection, management and analysis will be the driving force behind nearly all human activity in the next decade. Yet as data-driven technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, machine learning, edge computing, and the Internet of Things become increasingly vital to businesses worldwide, the enterprise storage market is in the midst of a dramatic and disruptive transition. And organizations everywhere are struggling to store more data in less space, and looking for new ways to use their data to become more competitive and efficient.

The Intel Storage System RAF1000JSP: Complete and trusted storage

The Intel Storage System RAF1000JSP is a fully integrated system that delivers unparalleled density, packing 32 drives and 256 TB into a 1U server at launch—growing to 1 PB in 1U later this year. Organizations that use this space-efficient, easily scalable storage system can maximize performance by consolidating rack space up to 6 times compared to standard storage systems, improving thermal efficiency up to 55 percent, and reducing power usage up to 55 percent—all while lowering both CapEx and OpEx. It makes for a compelling total cost of ownership calculation. The JBOF storage system provides full bandwidth and high IOPS for key applications and workloads to meet customers’ individual needs, yet is simple to deploy. Service and manageability are made easier thanks to the ruler form factor’s front-loading, hot-swappable design, with LED support and integrated power cycling.

The Intel Storage System RAF1000JSP offers OEMs, resellers and system integrators a fast and efficient upgrade path for their customers’ storage infrastructure. Intel partners can also use the new system’s up-sell potential to boost their own revenues. Fully validated and supported by Intel , and backed by the Intel 3-year warranty to ensure customer satisfaction, the new system is designed to offer organizations a trusted but revolutionary approach for their most critical storage challenges.
