Infinidat launches Infinibox G4​​
​
Enterprise storage solutions leader, Infinidat (www.infinidat.com) launches InfiniBox® G4 family of next-generation cyber secure storage arrays for all-flash and hybrid configurations, along with a series of significant enhancements and new capabilities to advance the company’s InfiniVerse® infrastructure, along with seamless hybrid multi-cloud support, and cybersecurity capabilities.
The new Infinidat G4 storage arrays deliver up to twice the performance of the current generation of InfiniBox and InfiniBox™ SSA II solutions and include a new lifecycle management controller upgrade option called InfiniVerse Mobius. This launch also includes support for Microsoft Azure public cloud with InfuzeOS™ Cloud Edition; and enhancements to Infinidat’s industry acclaimed InfiniSafe® enterprise cyber storage resilience and recovery solution. The InfiniSafe enhancements include new Automated Cyber Protection (ACP), InfiniSafe Cyber Detection capabilities for VMware environments, and the extension of InfiniSafe Cyber Detection to Infinidat’s InfiniGuard® purpose-built backup appliance in the second half of 2024.
“We’re excited to announce the new InfiniBox G4 systems and the many new enhancements that expand our InfiniVerse platform and STaaS initiatives, cybersecurity capabilities, infrastructure lifecycle management, and hybrid multi-cloud support, culminating significant product development efforts and field engagement with our partners and customers,” says Phil Bullinger, CEO, Infinidat. “With these many advancements, Infinidat continues our focus on the mission of providing unparalleled storage solutions and customer experience to enterprises around the globe. Our commitment to this shows in the solutions we continue to deliver and the comprehensive value we provide to our customers.”
The new InfiniBox G4 solution is a breakthrough with its leap ahead in performance, delivering an improvement of up to 2x. The InfiniBox SSA G4 all-flash solution provides a scale-up architecture with 60%, 80% and 100% populated models, while the InfiniBox G4 hybrid system continues as a fully-populated offering. The new all-flash storage solutions also now include the small footprint InfiniBox SSA G4 F1400T model, requiring only 14RU that starts at 155 terabytes (TB) usable capacity (387TB effective capacity) at a very affordable price, while delivering all the InfiniBox SSA capabilities and InfuzeOS features. The SSA G4 F1400T family can be installed in a customer’s existing data centre racks or those at a colocation facility.
“Infinidat’s latest enterprise storage offerings are truly remarkable in their scope and scale. The InfiniBox G4 family showcases exceptional performance, features, and cost-efficiency,” adds Paul Rapier, Vice President of Information Technology, Detroit Pistons. “Their platform-centric strategy, augmented by the improved InfiniVerse, builds upon an already robust system. The company’s efforts in enhancing cyber resilience for enterprises, particularly through the new InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection, are noteworthy for data security. Additionally, the expanded support for hybrid cloud storage is a game-changer, simplifying operations in a hybrid multi-cloud environment and delivering superior business and technical benefits.”
“The new InfiniBox G4 family adds a new level of performance, expanding beyond the already impressive benchmarks set by previous Infinidat generations. The enhancements to InfiniSafe continue Infinidat’s track record of innovation in high-end enterprise storage cyber resilience and recovery. The addition of support for Microsoft Azure opens up new customer segments for Infinidat, simplifying hybrid-cloud adoption. The release is a testament to the company’s adherence to building enterprise-level solutions that you can trust – while, happily, not breaking the bank either,” says Scott Sinclair, Practice Director, Cloud, Infrastructure, and DevOps, Enterprise Strategy Group.
In support of the new InfiniBox series, Infinidat is also introducing a new lifecycle management controller upgrade program, InfiniVerse Mobius. Over the lifecycle of an array, the customer will have the option to upgrade the controllers to level up the storage system and seamlessly extend its life in their data infrastructure.
