ESXi servers + Datrium DVX software + BYO flash<br \/>\n2. Datrium NetShelf<\/p>\n<p>The Datrium NetShelf is only used for HA, NVRAM and shared capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The DVX software on the ESXi servers is responsible for local storage operations like RAID and dedupe.<br \/>\nUnlike traditional storage arrays and hyperconverged systems, performance is not limited by the CPU, memory and disks in the backend storage.<\/p>\n<p>Datrium DVX software on the ESXi servers required a minimum of 2 x86 CPU cores and 5GB memory + 2.5GB per 1TB of local SSD.<\/p>\n<p>This design allows you to save those <strong>$$$<\/strong>, which you would spend on traditional storage controller upgrades and buy some additional servers + SSDs from Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>The Datrium DVX supports any server platform incl. blades on the VMware HCL.<br \/>\nAny flash device (PCIe, SAS, SATA) on VMware&#8217;s HCL for VSAN or vFlash, or offered for x86 by Cisco, Dell, HP or IBM as well as a selected list of MLC\/TLC drives are supported.<\/p>\n<p>VMware vSphere 5.5 Update 2 and above will be supported.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The Datrium DVX is currently in limited test release and not generally available.<\/p>\n<p>Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MindTheVirt\" target=\"_blank\">@MindTheVirt<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DatriumStorage\" target=\"_blank\">@DatriumStorage<\/a> on Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Datrium Storage officially emerged out of stealth mode and is presenting its Server Flash Storage System (DVX).
