Excelero NVEdge is block storage software for building NVMe All-Flash Arrays (NAFAs) that leverage traditional controller-based high availability (HA) storage architectures. NVEdge takes maximum advantage of NVMe SSDs for demanding, fast-growing application categories such as AI, ML, GPU and edge computing.

Edge data centers have massive volumes of small IO, video/other streams plus large databases, real-time analytics, and AI inference software that need low latency and high-bandwidth storage. Local server NVMe flash is a great fit, yet is often underutilized in capacity, performance or both – while shared storage (NVMe AFA) can fall short in performance or add latency.

NVEdge is a single chassis solution for the edge or when disaggregated NVMe storage requires HA that enables sharing yet performs like local NVMe. Delivering over 2.7M 4K IOPs on a 100Gb link, NVEdge provides a scale-up approach to shared NVMe at local performance – as Excelero already has done for scale-out applications. NVEdge realizes the world’s highest NAFA performance while providing enterprise storage features for simplified deployment, efficiency and operation.

“Judges were generally impressed by Excelero’s low latency, high throughput and high IOPS,” explained the TechTarget Products of the Year article on the storage system and application software award category winners. The story noted that “‘Problems with edge storage are well known and not often well addressed,’ said one judge, who added that NVEdge is delivering something the market needs.”

“We’re delighted that Excelero’s innovation for AI, ML and new use cases such as edge computing continues to be recognized,” said Lior Gal, CEO and co-founder, Excelero. “With NVEdge we’re helping IT teams assure they have the most efficient data center infrastructure for today’s demanding applications.”

2019 Storage Products of the Year award honorees were selected according to the following criteria: Innovation, performance, ease of integration into existing environments, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value. There were 50 finalists, and nearly 100 entrants.

This is the 18th annual Storage magazine and SearchStorage Products of the Year awards. Winners were announced in the February 2020 issue of Storage magazine and online at SearchStorage.com.
