Cheetah RAID Delivers Rugged Servers and Storage at the Edge
In our latest TechArena Data Insights interview, Jeniece Wnorowski and I had the pleasure of chatting with Doug Emby, Vice President of Cheetah RAID. We delved into the fascinating world of cutting-edge storage solutions tailored for edge environments, which are crucial for industries such as entertainment, defense, and autonomous vehicles.
Doug shared insights about the remarkable Cheetah RAID Raptor and Prowler servers. These servers are designed to handle the rigorous demands of media and entertainment as well as military applications. The Raptor 2U server, in particular, is a powerhouse with its high storage capacity, robust performance, and rugged design. It boasts up to 737.28TB (using Solidigm D5-P5336 61.44 SSD) of storage capacity, hot-swappable NVMe canisters, and support for PCIe Gen4, ensuring rapid data transfer and reliable performance even in extreme conditions. You can imagine how these hot-swappable canisters could be used to quickly capture data in rugged environments and transport it swiftly at the end of a shoot day or in a migrating environment. Given the reliability of SSD technology, this use case works effortlessly without significant risk of data loss or drive degradation.
How much data can these solutions handle? A key part of our discussion was about the importance of scalable storage solutions for managing vast amounts of data at the edge. The Solidigm D5-P5336 SSD, which is integrated into Cheetah RAID’s systems, stood out for its high capacity and performance. This SSD is optimized for data-intensive workloads, including AI-driven data lakes, big data analytics, and scale-out NAS, providing efficient and rapid storage and retrieval of extensive datasets. Jeniece shared some insights on how Solidigm’s SSD technology is integral to these advancements. She highlighted features such as enhanced power loss data protection, hardware encryption, and temperature monitoring, all of which are essential for maintaining data integrity and performance in various edge applications.
One of the most compelling parts of our conversation was understanding the synergistic innovation driven between the two companies. Their collaboration has resulted in powerful and efficient storage solutions that are being relied on by IT leaders across industries. These servers ensure that critical data is stored securely and accessed quickly when needed, making a significant impact in real-world scenarios. Cheetah RAID’s high-performance server/storage, featuring hot-swap drive canisters and Solidigm’s 61.44TB drives, makes a powerful statement unmatched by others in the market.
