The result is an imbalance of (75:25 R:W) computing resources resulting in I/O bottlenecks, Peak random 1.3 GB/s (4KB blocks) -‐ 320,000 IOPS underutilized servers, storage over-‐provisioning, and Sustained random 800 MB/s (sustained) -‐ 200,000 IOPS excessive costs. End-‐to-‐end error correction Advanced ECC Global and Local wear-‐leveling tachIOn is the perfect solution to these problems. It BCH+RS (16 bits / 256 bytes) delivers industry-‐leading sustained performance, Data protection RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 bridging the performance gap and resulting in a Lifetime 24 years (@ 5 TB writes per day) balanced system solution for performance-‐starved Enterprise Class Reliability UBER < 10 -‐17 workloads. Environmental Specifications Sustained Write Bandwidth Benchmark Operating Temperature 0°C/32°F to 35°C/95°F The following benchmark chart is a test of the Write Non-‐operating Temperature -‐40°C/-‐40°F to 70°C/158°F Bandwidth versus Drive Utilization (% filled). Each data Airflow (LFM) 200 point on the X-‐axis shows a comparison of write Humidity 5% to 95% (relative, non-‐condensing) bandwidth. For example, when the drives are 50% Altitude (ft) Operational 10,000 utilized, tachIOn delivers write bandwidth 2.3x of the Non-‐operational 30,000 best competitive alternative. When the drives are Weight (oz) 5 to 7 100% utilized, tachIOn delivers sustained write Interfaces bandwidth 8.2x that of the competitive product.
