Elastic infrastructure powers databases, mission-critical applications, mobile apps, collaboration, and IT infrastructure. Whether delivered by cloud service providers or cloud-like software-defined storage solutions, elastic infrastructure needs to leverage storage performance to enable the type of data services that help run enterprises or enable personal productivity and leisure time. Storage performance is a key to enabling transaction processing that is the basis of cloud-based e-commerce, micropayments, in-app purchases, and on-premises software-defined storage to run enterprise latency-sensitive workloads. CloudSpeed Ultra enables cloud storage and compute density without the sacrifice of a low latency QoS or write operations.
