IntelliFlash N5200
High-Performance Unified Storage for Real-Time Applications

Unleash Your Applications with the Power of NVMe

With today's data becoming increasingly real-time in nature, you need a next-gen storage infrastructure to power your business. Leverage the speed and efficiency of NVMeTM to deliver maximum performance to your most demanding enterprise applications. IntelliFlashTM N-series arrays combine the performance of NVMe, software-defined flash management, and rich data services to deliver high-performance shared storage that accelerates enterprise applications.

Enterprise NVMe™ Flash Arrays

As enterprises continue to evolve in a highly competitive market place, they will be required to make real-time transactions and business decisions. To transact business in real time, enterprises will depend on their storage infrastructure to store and deliver data at very low latency. These enterprises will also rely on data they’ve collected, but has been dormant until this day, to make key business decisions. Your data demands a nextgeneration storage infrastructure to accelerate your business. With IntelliFlash NVMe flash arrays, you are prepared for today’s performance requirements and future data-centric application environments.

Western Digital’s IntelliFlash N-Series is a unified, NVMe-flash array that enables you to exponentially accelerate enterprise application environments and power business critical environments to deliver more operations than ever before. IntelliFlash N-series arrays combine the performance of NVMe, software-defined flash management, and rich data services to deliver high-performance shared storage array. N-Series is an NVMe all-flash array. The product is targeted at accelerating a wide variety of high-performance, missioncritical enterprise applications.

The N-series is the product of a holistic approach to the development of system solutions which we call silicon-to-systems design. With an extensive set of data services features, the N-series is being deployed in customer environments to accelerate workloads focused on real-time analytics, high-performance databases, and large-scale virtualization.

Powered by the IntelliFlash Operating Environment, the N-Series provides rich enterprise data services and advanced data management techniques to simplify your storage administration. All features are included with every array. Since the same operating environment drives the entire IntelliFlash array portfolio, it means you benefit from years of innovation, validation, and deployment experience with your storage environment.

Combine Your Deployment

Achieve greater flexibility on how you deploy and manage your storage infrastructure by simultaneously accessing your applications via block (FC, iSCSI) and file (NFS, CIFS, SMBv3) protocols. You don’t need separate storage silos, file servers or licenses to enable any of these services

Consolidate Your Storage

Deliver multiple storage classes through all-NVMe and all-flash pools in the same array to balance performance and capacity. Since the administration APIs and workflows are common across the entire portfolio and any storage pool, you don’t need to learn multiple tools.

Benefits

Increase your storage efficiency and drive down your overall storage infrastructure costs with inline deduplication and compression. In addition to the CAPEX savings, as you aggregate your application environments in to a single storage system and apply data reduction techniques, you also reduce your OPEX expenses.
