infinite io Announces Network-based Metadata Accelerator


infinite io today announced the NSC-055s, a Network-based Metadata Accelerator. The NSC-055s adds a controller dedicated to the acceleration of metadata requests to infinite io's award-winning Network-based Storage Controller product line. With the NSC-055s, enterprises will be able to transparently accelerate existing applications and extend the life of NAS systems. "With 20 microsecond response times, the NSC-055s serves metadata request over 25 times faster than a typical all-flash NAS system," said Mark Cree (News - Alert), infinite io's CEO.

infinite io makes metadata acceleration totally transparent

The NSC-055s does not require applications to be re-provisioned or storage to be virtualized with new file paths. The NSC-055s installs transparently in front of existing storage and seamlessly intercepts and responds to metadata reuests.



"The NSC-055s makes tremendous sense for metadata intensive workloads," said George Crump, President and Founder of Storage Switzerland. "infinite io has taken a unique approach to accelerating NAS system performance and breathing new life into burdened systems."

Ultra-high Performance


The NSC-055s can serve up to 1,500,000 metadata requests per second with an average latency of 20 microseconds. Unlike a cache, it collects all file metadata and is always hot.

Availability and pricing

The NSC-055s is available for immediate shipment and is priced at $50,000.
