S-Ultra 21

Performance and Cost Comparison

S-21 Ultra combines massive single-node performance with the linear scalability of a storage cluster such as ceph, therefore providing stable IOPS/GB in the context of increasing storage capacity, a feature that even high-performance SAN systems are missing due to their centralized controller architecture:
