Use Cases

Accelerate and Scale While Reducing OpEx

With industry-leading capacity, density, and power efficiency, ExaDrive helps organizations eliminate server sprawl, reduce software licensing costs, improve efficiency, and reduce data center OpEx by up to 75%. Unlike NVMe SSDs, ExaDrive simplifies tiered and hybrid storage by allowing users to mix hard drives and SSDs in the same enclosure effortlessly. ExaDrive SSDs can be paired with hardware RAID controllers to increase redundancy and performance even further. With its unique advantages, ExaDrive SSDs are ideally suited to unstructured data and content workloads, where slow HDDs are no longer viable and NVMe SSDs are too costly.

Edge Storage with Unmatched Portability

As more data is created at the edge, storing and transporting massive data sets is a new challenge. Hard drives are ill-suited to this task due to slow performance and vibration sensitivity, and NVMe SSDs require too much power and lack enough storage capacity. ExaDrive offers the capacity of a full data storage array in a device small enough to fit in your back pocket. ExaDrive weighs about one pound, reducing weight per terabyte by 95% compared to bulky hard drive-based systems. The small form factor and resiliency make ExaDrive well-suited to autonomous vehicles, aircraft, mobile systems, 5G infrastructure, e-discovery, and cloud data transport appliances.
