Pavilion Data Systems announced today availability of version 2.2 of its award-winning platform. The new release comes with increased write performance to as much as 90 GB/second and with write latency as low as 40 microseconds with RAID-6 protection. In addition, version 2.2 includes ultra-fast SWARM recovery for RAID rebuilds and consistency groups for snapshots. 

These new features, combined with a rich suite of existing data management capabilities such as thin provisioning, snapshots, and data at rest encryption, solidify Pavilion as the most capable NVMe-oF shared storage platform in the market in terms of performance, density and enterprise features. The company will showcase its solution at Dell Technologies World, booth 548, in Las Vegas, Nev. 

Through disaggregated rack-scale flash, customers have a flexible option to reuse existing standard 2.5" NVMe SSDs or purchase the latest capacity or performance drives directly from their preferred drive manufacturer.  With the Pavilion enhanced SWARM Recovery feature, the rebuild time for a single drive is less than five minutes per terabyte.  By comparison, a 2-TB NVMe SSD deployed in a direct-attached storage node can take hours and negatively impact application performance. 

"We have been a Pavilion customer since 2018 and we are glad to see the continuous product improvements to allow us to take advantage of the incredible performance, density, and low latencies of the Pavilion NVMe-oF solutions that help accelerate our data-intensive analytics workloads," said Chris Jordan, Data Management and Collections Group Lead, Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).

"Modern, scale-out analytics and third platform applications demand high performance and operational simplicity at scale," said Gurpreet Singh, CEO of Pavilion Data. "With the new release, the Pavilion solution delivers on the promise of true rack-scale storage disaggregation for these cloud-scale applications, meeting ever-increasing performance requirements while at the same time, enabling the customers to scale by significantly decreasing operational complexity of Direct Attached Storage (DAS). Pavilion Data is ushering in the third wave of NVMe adoption where enterprise SAN features meet the performance and agility of DAS."
