Businesses rely on their data storage to power their business-critical operations and functions and ensure high levels of performance. CHI Corporation provides businesses across the country with the fifth-generation all-flash array, the Kaminario K2, which is redefining the future of modern data centers by allowing tasks that once took days to be completed in a fraction of the time.
The K2 delivers significant cost efficiency and utilization. Kaminario has built an architecture that allows cost efficiency well below the cost of disk at an average of $2 per gigabyte of usable capacity. The K2 all-flash array is built with 2 real active controllers, known as an “active active” storage control configuration. This allows for 100% utilization, where both controllers are fully utilized, as opposed to the 50% utilization achieved in “active passive” architectures.
The K2 is designed to scale right, according to the customer needs. This means customers pay only for what they need. For example, if a customer needs greater performance and capacity, the K2 can scale out without disruption or downtime. This linear growth contributes to global efficiency. Or, if a customer solely needs greater capacity, the K2 can scale up, non-disruptively adding an expansion shelf to achieve a lower cost per gigabyte as well as higher density. This flexibility of growing according to customer needs is unique to the Kaminario K2 all-flash array. And, from each configuration, whether your business has scaled up or out, the K2 can scale directly to a dual K-block configuration with expansion needs.
Combining cost efficiency and scalability, the Kaminario K2 will be your strongest business asset, affording you high levels of performance and agility. We invite you to learn more about the Kaminario K2 and to speak to a CHI Corporation team member about why the K2 might be the right solution for your business data storage needs.
