The Power to ‘Re-NVMe’ Your Workflow
with the Fastest Performance for StorNext

DATASHEET
FEATURES & BENEFITS The Quantum F2100 is the newest generation of NVMe storage ready to re-invent
your storage workflows with performance that is now twice as fast as the previous
Orders of Magnitude Faster generation system–up to 55 GB/s multi-client read performance*–and now offers
than Traditional Flash Storage twice the capacity, as well with up to 384 TB in a single 2U system.

The new Quantum block storage platform 2.0 software takes full advantage of the
latest hardware architecture to deliver that performance and capacity in a dual-
controller architecture that is fast to upgrade, and easy to manage.
Both controllers drive the 24 bays of NVMe Flash storage together for efficient
load-balancing across your choice of either 4 ports of 100 GbE or 8 ports of 32 Gb
Fibre Channel.
