Infinidat Products – InfiniBox G4 and InfiniBox SSA

Infinidat’s presentation at AI Data Infrastructure Field Day 1, led by Bill Basinas, Sr. Director of Product Marketing, focused on their latest storage solutions, the InfiniBox G4 and InfiniBox SSA. Basinas highlighted the unique software-defined architecture of Infinidat’s products, which leverage commodity hardware components to deliver high performance and resilience. The core of their technology, InfuseOS, provides triple redundancy and integrates features like neural cache, which uses a large shared pool of DRAM memory to ensure high performance and cache hit rates. This architecture allows Infinidat to guarantee 100% availability and high performance, making their solutions suitable for mission-critical applications and workloads, including AI tasks like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

The presentation also detailed the hardware advancements in the G4 series, which transitioned from Intel to AMD EPYC CPUs, resulting in a 31% increase in core count and a 20% improvement in power efficiency. This shift to PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 DRAM further enhanced the system’s performance. Infinidat’s approach to scalability was also discussed, with the introduction of smaller configurations like the 1400T series, designed for remote data centers and edge deployments. These systems maintain the same enterprise-class architecture and performance, allowing for seamless, non-disruptive scaling. Additionally, Infinidat continues to offer hybrid storage solutions, which are particularly popular for large-scale backup environments.

Infinidat’s InfiniVerse platform was another key topic, providing extensive telemetry and predictive analytics to help customers manage their storage environments. InfiniVerse leverages AI and machine learning to offer insights into storage usage, power consumption, and carbon footprint, aligning with modern ESG goals. The platform supports Infinidat’s white-glove customer service, where technical advisors work closely with clients to optimize their storage infrastructure. The presentation concluded with a discussion on Infinidat’s future plans, including the Mobius controller upgrade program, which promises seamless, in-place upgrades without disrupting system availability, further emphasizing Infinidat’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
