Stratus® ftScalable™ Storage Family
Open fault-tolerant storage platform for high performance applications
Real-time data is forecasted to increase rapidly, reaching 64.2 zettabytes in 2020 reported by Statista¹. So it’s no surprise that improving data storage recovery and managing data growth is a top priority for organizations. Security and compliance regulations, performance bottlenecks, fast, accurate data recovery, scalability, and ensuring data availability are all challenges that need to be addressed to achieve successful data management.
Stratus’ ftScalable G4, seamlessly integrated with ftServer is the next-generation hybrid storage array that optimizes performance and simplifies data storage and management, while minimizing costs, for an always-on complete availability/storage solution.
The total amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed globally is forecast to increase rapidly, reaching 64.2 zettabytes in 2020. Over the next five years up to 2025, global data creation is projected to grow to more than 180 zettabytes. In 2020, the amount of data created and replicated reached a new high. The growth was higher than previously expected caused by the increased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as more people worked and learned from home and used home entertainment options more often.

More about ftScalable G4…
It packs maximum performance and availability into an economical, scalable, 2U powerhouse. This high-performance, modular array addresses dedicated, shared, and networked storage requirements allowing you to dynamically configure and grow your system as quickly as needed. Advanced storage capabilities enabled by pooled storage maximize the performance and availability of spinning or solid-state-based storage. The ftScalable storage array plays an integral role in critical application solutions and serves as a key element in disaster recovery, business continuity, and regulatory compliance strategies.
Key Benefits
- Manages “hot” and “cold” data storage in real time to deliver storage performance that’s comparable to all-flash arrays at a fraction of the price
- Accelerates business processes 3x by automatically virtualizing storage across device types simplifying disk management in heterogeneous environments
- Provides continuous availability in a flexible, high-performing array
- Expands up to six shelves with up to 600k IOPS, 144 spindles and 259 terabytes of storage, for business growth and maximum investment protection
- Protects sensitive data with encrypted SSD disk technology
Increase performance and reduce costs with Real-Time Data Tiering
Autonomically measures data usage identifies “hot” spots as they occur and continuously moves data to the best tier in real-time, even as that data usage pattern changes minute by minute.
Get 100% dedicated device assignment with LUN Pinning
Allows IT managers to pin certain applications to the high performance tier to assure that mission critical applications are always prioritized on SSDs or high-performance drives.
Save by purchasing only what you need with Thin Provisioning
Streamlines the tasks of provisioning and modifying volumes, allowing IT managers to respond to data growth as needed. User friendly reporting provides constant feedback on volumes, approaching thresholds, allocation, and over-allocation. IT managers can add storage when needed, easily expanding volumes non-disruptively.
Streamline storage management with Management Console
Includes performance monitoring, a dashboard for provisioning and storage tiering, provisioning reports by volume, wizards for configuration, installation, and provisioning, and customized views of storage.
Increase cache capacity and IOPs performance with Read Cache
Supports SSD/HDD configurations that dramatically increase the amount of read-cache available to the storage system. Using one or two SSDs in the storage configuration automatically activates the read-cache function which can improve the overall performance of read-intensive applications and workloads.
Improve system up-time and data protection with Quick Rebuilds
Rebuilds only the data that is being used, restoring fault-tolerance with 2-5x the performance of standard rebuild designs.
Accelerate business processes with Pooled Storage
Automatically virtualizes storage across device types and simplifies disk management in heterogeneous environments while enabling a wide array of advanced features, such as thin provisioning, rapid RAID rebuild, and tiering.
Prevent unauthorized access to data with Encryption Drives
Provides data security through full disk encryption with support for Seagate® Full Disk Encryption (FDE). Self-encrypting drives encrypt every write operation and decrypt every read operation without user intervention. FDE drives remain fully protected with an encryption key.
