PhantomLogic SSD Array
PhantomLOGIC SSD (Solid State Drive) Array is based on Solid Data's StorageSPIRE technology. A managed array of SSDs
providing up to a terabyte of Fibre Channel-connected, ultra
low latency, non-volatile storage. The PhantomLOGIC SSD Array is a direct replacement for high end rotating RAID
arrays or an alternative to in-server-memory systems, and can
be direct-connected or used as a shared device when
deployed on a SAN. Real time transaction processing environments from AT&T, Verizon (Telecommunications), to HSBC, TD Securities and Deutsche Bank (Financial) are currently
reaping the benefits of SSD (Solid State Drive) technology.

Technical Specifications
Data Sheet
Used in high transaction rate applications they eliminate the
mechanical delays of rotating disk drives, allowing
conventional servers to perform 10 or more times the number
of transactions per second. Because of their immediate
response to read or write commands, they eliminate large
server queues; thus, dramatically improving server stability
and response times during peak periods. Systems built
around StorageSPIRE arrays use less than half the power of
conventional disk or in-server-memory architectures.
The system's advanced design provides persistent, nonvolatile
data retention and easy configuration with standard
device drivers. PhantomLOGIC provides path
failover or active/active multipathing via Veritas DMP, and
supports direct-connect, arbitrated loop and switched fabric
mode configurations with 500 Gigabytes to one Terabyte of
high-performance data capacity per enclosure.
Highlights
--4 Gigabit data paths and up to 8 Fibre Channel connections
--500GB to 1TB Array of Solid State Disk
--Windows, Linux, Unix, Solaris, Ubuntu Compatible
--Reduces total cost of transaction intensive applications
--PermaRACK™ allows for modular replacement of 100% of all active components without de-racking or tools
--Supports Fibre Channel configurations for servers, clusters and SANs
--powerful remote management system allows reporting and
management of the entire array from a single local or Webconnected
user interface
Speed and Persistence
The PhantomLOGIC SSD Array delivers data at unprecedentedly high rates, with access time less than 10 microseconds. To do
this, StorageSPIRE stores the data on custom, error correcting
memory arrays that incorporate third-generation
Zero Latency Transfer (ZLT) architecture. This executes the
data-handling processes in hardware state machines,
eliminating microprocessor overhead. The ZLT architecture
delivers extremely fast response times for transaction,
database and messaging applications. At the same time, the
high-bandwidth data paths and multiple Fibre Channel
connections support resource sharing at high speeds in server
clusters and SANs.
Along with its memory-based access speed, PhantomLOGIC
provides the persistence of disk storage by incorporating a
Solid Data Patented Data Retention System™. Each of the internal
SSDs in the array include dual, fully redundant UPS battery
back-up systems and an embedded disk drive for data
recovery, as well as intelligent backup control logic which
prevents unnecessary backups during brief power outages.
Robust Data Protection and Availability
--On-board hard disk and automatic backup control logic.
In the event of a power failure, batteries provide
uninterrupted power to the memory arrays. After a
prescribed time period, the system moves all data onto
the internal disk for indefinite retention. When power is
restored, the data is automatically transferred back to
the memory arrays and accessible upon transfer completion.
--Memory arrays with patented on-the-fly error detection
and correction
--PermaRACK construction in which every active
component is modularized. In the rare event that
services is required, these active components can be
swapped in seconds without de-racking any of the
internal SSDs. Backup disk drives, fans, power
supplies, and batteries are all hot-swappable while online
and operating.
--Hot-swappable data retention disk drive for quick
migration to a standby system. Background diagnostics
conducted periodically to verify operational status. The
disk drive is also powered down during normal
operation for energy savings and reduced operating
temperatures.
Regulatory Approvals
--UL and C-UL listed
--FCC certified
--VCCI certified
--VDE/TUV certified
Easy Installation and Operation
PhantomLOGIC provides industry-standard Fibre Channel
connections. No special device drives are required.
Installation is fast and easy; StorageSPIRE can be
implemented as part of a new platform deployment or to
increase the transaction performance of an existing system.
Migration of high-transaction data sets to StorageSPIRE is
straight-forward as there is no need to re-engineer
applications or make extensive changes to business
processes.
Error Detection and Correction Code (EDAC)
--Patented n-bit error logic
--64 bytes per 512 bytes dedicated for EDAC
--Two bit error detection and single bit error correction per 8 bytes of user data
Software
--Host-resident I/O Test™ software provides performance, reliability, and maintenance information
--I/O Dynamics™ software packages provide application analysis tools for Unix and Oracle
