The Violin® Flash Storage Platform™ (FSP) family, powered by Concerto™ OS 7, delivers a rich suite of integrated Enterprise Data Services for a comprehensive solution that can transform your data center with the performance and capabilities your business requires. Consisting of solutions designed for extreme performance and density, maximum data efficiency, mixed workload environments and data availability, the FSP family can transform the data center.

The FSP family comes with embedded Enterprise Data Services including business continuity, data protection, data scalability, and data efficiency.

Violin’s Enterprise Data Services can deliver several benefits:
• Data reduction including switchable inline data deduplication and compression
• Flexible and powerful business continuity with asynchronous replication
• Clones and mirroring protect valuable enterprise data
• Data scaling is simple with Scale Smart™
• Configuration choice as a stand-alone storage array, or as a shelf in the FSP 7700
• Performance that is transformative with capabilities built for demanding enterprise environments enabling high levels of data center consolidation

Flash Fabric Architecture™
SSDs, which are based upon legacy HDD technology, are inherently limited in their ability to deliver performance. That is why Violin created a comprehensive, highly integrated design from the flash chips, across the fabric backplane and into the controller firmware to deliver what traditional architectures cannot.

Simple Setup and Management
Some storage products can take four hours or more to configure. With Violin Simple Setup the entire process can be completed in under 30 minutes with actual administrator time being as little as 45 seconds. Provisioning the FSP can then be done through Symphony™, Violin’s Management Console. Symphony is a ‘single pane of glass’ view into your Violin infrastructure. It provides a single portal for managing petabytes of flash-based storage across all Violin FSPs and All-Flash Arrays in your data center.

The benefits of the FSP family includes lower TCO, improved application support, reduced management, and consistent end-user SLAs. CFOs will like the FSP for its reduced TCO. CIOs will like it as it frees resources to create new business value. Storage admins will like it as it simplifies data center management. The leader of the all-flash data center is Violin Systems®.

Scale Smart
The Pay-As-You-Grow program allows data centers to start with as little as 8 TB and provides scalability instantaneous, non-disruptive scalability options that can deliver more than 2 PB in effective storage. The FSP 7700 supports scaling of both capacity and performance.
