Infinidat InfuzeOS for Hybrid Multi Cloud

Infinidat’s InfuzeOS is a versatile operating system designed to support both on-premises and hybrid multi-cloud environments. Initially developed for on-premises solutions, InfuzeOS has been extended to work seamlessly with major cloud providers like AWS and Microsoft Azure. This extension allows customers to experience the same ease of use and robust functionality in the cloud as they do with their on-premises systems. InfuzeOS retains all its core features, including neural cache, InfiniRAID, InfiniSafe, and InfiniOps, ensuring consistent performance and management across different environments. The system supports both block and file storage, making it adaptable to various workload needs.

InfiniRAID, a key component of Infinidat’s technology, is a software-based RAID architecture that provides exceptional resilience and performance. Unlike traditional RAID systems that can be vulnerable to multiple drive failures, InfiniRAID can handle dozens of device failures without compromising system operations. This high level of resilience is achieved through a patented approach that manages RAID at the software layer, allowing for efficient use of all available devices. This capability is particularly beneficial for enterprise environments where data integrity and uptime are critical. InfiniRAID’s design also simplifies maintenance, as customers can replace failed drives without immediate technical intervention, thanks to the system’s hot-pluggable drives and proactive monitoring.

InfiniSafe, another integral feature, focuses on cyber resilience, providing robust protection against data breaches and cyber threats. While the cloud implementations of InfuzeOS do not offer the same level of hardware control and guarantees as on-premises solutions, they still deliver significant benefits. The cloud version currently operates on a single compute instance, with plans to evolve towards multi-node configurations to better support complex workloads. Despite these differences, the cloud implementation maintains the same software functionality, including compression and support for Ethernet-based protocols. This makes InfuzeOS a flexible and powerful solution for various use cases, from functional test development to backup and replication targets, and increasingly, AI workloads.
