ASM-2224H
SIMPLICITY - FLEXIBILITY - AFFORDABILITY
The ASM-2224H NAS is AGILESTORAGE’s entry-level NAS with dual active storage controllers, providing hybrid-pool and/or all-flash storage capacity. Each controller is powered by Intel® Xeon® E5-26XX CPU's with up to 18 cores/36 threads as well as up to 1TB of memory.
The ASM-2224H supports up to 24 x 2.5-inch SAS 12Gbps HDD’s/SSDs and provides excellent I/O performance and outstanding throughput. Random write performance for all-flash arrays is further driven by the flash-optimized WASP™ operating system that comes pre-installed on the ASM-2224H. WASP™ OS support containerized multi-tenancy, logical volume management, block-based inline data deduplication and inline compression reduce I/O and storage consumption. Based on the near-limitless snapshots capability and integrated disaster recovery mechanism, the ASM-2224H fulfills demanding business applications, such as mission-critical file servers, virtualization servers, VDI, medium-sized data center, video streaming, surveillance storage, as well as efficient file backup and disaster recovery!
flash performance on spinning drives
Based on the hybrid storage pool architecture, which enables direct cache tiering, IOPS performance is decoupled from the physical devices where the data is stored. At the time when new or modified data is stored, the intelligent data management identifies the new/changed blocks and writes them directly into the write cache devices. It also recognizes the most frequently- and most recently used blocks, writing a copy of these blocks into the read cache. Consequently, expensive high speed disks or all flash storage systems are in most cases no longer needed to achieve highest IOPS storage performance. This in turn eliminates the need for inefficient and expensive storage tiers.

VSM (VIRTUAL STORAGE MACHINE) – TRUE STORAGE VIRTUALISATION
WASP™ is the first true storage hypervisor in the market virtualizing storage resources similar to how Vmware is virtualizing compute resources since more than 20 years. A VSM is a fully featured and independent virtual storage system which consumes all or a part of the total storage resources that the underlying hardware can deliver. The amount of the total hardware resources one VSM is allowed to consume can be defined during the deployment process of the VSM and easily adjusted at any time as needed.

Workload agnostic STORAGE FOR MODERN IT-Environments
Share your storage and deliver predictable performance to every application. For the first time ever, WASP™ allows storage LUNs and Filesystems to be defined beyond capacity. It also allows to define a maximum or guaranteed number of IOPS, throughput and latency usage for applications, filesystems or VSMs. This QoS engine allows mixed workloads with guaranteed performance characteristics from a shared storage platform, eliminating possible “noisy neighbors” related performance problems on the following storage types:
File Storage (SMB & NFS)
Block Storage (Fibre Channel & iSCSI)
Object Storage
By un-fragmented storage and optimized resources utilization, AGILESTORAGE cuts your storage footprint, resulting in 60-70% cost savings over 3-5 years.
EVOLUTIONARY STORAGE INFRASTRUCTURE
AGILESTORAGE appliances are not age, they enhance with time. In fact, ASM-2224H is just a seamless, non-disruptive upgrade away from the next AGILESTORAGE appliance generation. It’s all part of AGILE-EVOLUTION STORAGE, our progressive and future proof ownership model, which delivers continuous innovations in software and hardware to you with no forklift upgrades, and no data migrations.
