- 1. DATASHEET Gridstore HyperConverged Appliance Converged ElasticInfrastructure Purpose-Built for Hyper-V About the Gridstore HyperConverged Appliance Gridstore HyperConverged Appliance is a single system that includes both compute and storage. Each appliance has up to four compute/storage nodes, and can be expanded with additional appliances and/ or Gridstore Storage Nodes, up to 250 total nodes. Both all-flash and hybrid versions of the HyperConverged Appliance are available. The All-Flash HyperConverged Appliance Best suited for low-latency and high transactional applications, the All-Flash HyperConverged Appliance provides 5TB of flash capacity and 1TB of flash cache per node to deliver highly deterministic perfor- mance for application such as low-latency VDI and tier-one workloads. The Hybrid HyperConverged Appliance Best suited for mixed workload envi- ronments, the Hybrid HyperConverged Appliance provides 8TB of SATA HDD capacity and 1TB of flash read/write cache per node to deliver a superior price/per- formance balance for highly dense virtual environments at a very attractive TCO. Gridstore HyperConverged Appliances can be scaled by adding appliances or with Gridstore Storage Nodes or mix and match. Gridstore’s advanced software architecture additionally eliminates the need for the typical three-way replica of data which wastes both capacity and CPU resources. Gridstore’s design increases usable capacity by 50%, increasing resource utilization and decreasing TCO. VDI: where each HyperConverged Appliance can support up to 600 desktops in a typical deployment. Since VDI scales in uniform chunks based on the number of desktops being added, a hyper-converged solution is a fast and easy way to scale these deployments. Hyper-V / Cloud in a box: initial deployment where a HyperConverged Appliance can be installed and up and running the same day ready for appli- cation deployment or migration from existing environments. Remote Office/Branch Office (ROBO): deployment of a complete compute and storage solution in a box for those remote or branch offices that need turnkey, easy-to-deploy and manage systems. Key Benefits ■■ Power on and provision ■■ Predictable performance per VM ■■ 50% lower TCO ■■ Flash performance ■■ Scaling to fit your needs “Gridstore’s ability to not only deliver a complete hyper- converged system but also allow for independent extensibility of the storage and compute makes it stand out in this market.” — Arun Taneja, Founder The Taneja Group Built to increase performance, maximize resources and streamline IT costs, IT administrators gain even more control over Microsoft Hyper-V environments, realizing lower TCO over traditional deployments. Use Cases HyperConverged Appliances are well suited to certain crucial contemporary IT challenges including:

This eliminates guest-VM complexity and provides the tightest integration possible with Windows management and functionality. End-to-End I/O Control per VM Gridstore offers granular visibility and control with its True Quality of Service (QoS) per VM. QoS enables precision I/O for each VM based on user-defined priority— giving you top performance for the most critical VMs while reducing noisy neighbors. End-to-End Flash Architecture With both read and write cache positioned optimally to provide the lowest latency, Gridstore is architected for end-to-end flash performance using SSDs. Independent Scaling Unlike other hyper-converged vendors, Gridstore enables compute and storage scaling either together or independently. By simply adding either HyperConverged Appliances, Storage Nodes, or any Windows Server, customers achieve maximum flexibility that fits into existing environments or standalone. Efficient Elastic Scaling Pay-as-you-grow while reducing TCO up to 50%. Gridstore eliminates the need for three- way replicas, improving efficiency and eliminating waste. Using erasure coding, customers achieve/experience 50% better CPU utilization and 50% lower TCO. Performance steadily increases linearly as nodes are added (up to 250 nodes per pool).
