Simplify storage configurations and lower costs

CACHEfx G100

CACHEfx G100 appliances are powered by the same Reflex OS software that scales across the entire Gear6 product line, delivering the same performance benefits in a compact, lower cost, energy efficient package. The G100 is the ideal solution for IT managers looking to simplify storage configurations while still maintaining low response times with sufficient IOPS and throughput for applications. The G100 eliminates the need to over-provision disk drives for performance and extends the life of your existing storage investment by enabling higher capacity and scalable performance. The G100 is ideal for environments that require low latency and real time access to data, yet have more moderate IOPS and bandwidth demands. Applications with smaller working data sets, or performance requirements that start small initially but are expected to grow.

High Performance with Efficient Power and Rack Space

The CACHEfx G100 packs a powerful performance punch delivering 125,000 IOPS and 800 MB/sec of throughput. The G100 offers 128GB of cache capacity in a compact 11U form factor that consumes a scant 1,815 watts of power providing a perfect fit for customers seeking energy efficient solutions.
