DATASHEETAdaptive Block Size Optimized for Mixed WorkloadsA unique global adaptive block algorithm capability automatically adapts tothe best I/O size for any workload. One system simultaneously supports OLTP,OLAP, virtualized server and VDI environments without compromising IOPSor bandwidth. Adaptive block size executes automatic and simultaneous useof the best I/O size for each workload Combine transaction processing and analytics workloadsonto a single arrayGlobal Selective Inline Deduplicationand Inline CompressionKaminario deduplication eliminates redundant data, storing it only once.Deduplication is performed globally with processing distributed across all nodes.Uniquely among all-flash arrays, selective deduplication can be turned on for VDIand virtualized workloads, and turned off for OLTP or OLAP workloads wherededuplication has little or no effect.Highly efficient, byte-aligned inline compression reduces the physical datafootprint on the flash media with no performance penalty. Selective deduplication adjustable by workload impact Data reduction through compression even with no deduplication Fragmentation prevention usingbyte-granular compressionOLAPOLTP2

Efficient metadata and real-time health monitoring aid in rapid SSD recoveryoptimized the data and metadata K-RAID is fully automatic and requires no configuration or set-upNative ReplicationEfficient replication ensures K2 enterprise data center resiliency using a snapshotarchitecture to perform asynchronous application-aware and crash-consistentreplication. All essential disaster recovery capabilities support short recoverypoint objectives (RPO), as little as 60 seconds, and recovery time objectives(RTO) of less than one second. All are native capabilities, with no impact onproduction performance. Native replication requires no costly third-party software No performance impact on production Short RPO and RTO for disaster recovery Application integration ,e.g. Microsoft SQL, utilizing VSS Full support for VMware SRM4

DATASHEETKaminario K2 FeaturesSYSTEM MANAGEMENTThe central principles of K2 management are simple. Administered via an intuitivebrowser-based GUI, K2’s built-in intelligence automatically executes RAIDoptimization, performance tuning, data distribution, monitoring, and capacitymanagement. K2 supports a fully scriptable CLI, RESTful APIs, VMware vCenterplug-in and Microsoft VSS.NON-DISRUPTIVE UPGRADE(NDU)Hardware expansions and software enhancements can be deployed with nointerference to production and no dependencies on maintenance windows.Upgrades can incorporate any preferred mix of controllers and SSDs, includingnewly released processors and drive types.THIN PROVISIONINGMaximize storage utilization using thin provisioning to assist long-term capacityplanning. All base volumes, snapshots and replicas are thin provisioned, reducingrequired initial capacity and allowing measured, as-needed growth.SNAPSHOTSK2’s patented native writeable thin-provisioned and space-efficient snapshotsdeliver concurrent storage efficiency, performance, and scalability. Withsubstantial capacity savings compared to full clones, snapshots are often used tocreate additional data sets for backup, archiving, development and testing.SELF-ENCRYPTING DRIVESAlways-on K2 encryption provides protection against data theft, securingdata-at-rest with no performance impact. 256-bit AES keys SSD encryptionprotects all data in the array with no impact on performance.HEALTHSHIELD The Kaminario K2 is designed to meet the most demanding enterprise applicationrequirements. HealthShield’s continuous call-home monitoring protection andanalysis are the foundations for Kaminario world-class technical support. Proactivemonitoring actively discovers and tracks events in real time, with many issuesresolved remotely.5
