American Megatrends, Inc. (AMI) today announced it will showcase its StorTrends® 3500i solid state disk (SSD) storage appliance, available in hybrid and/or all-flash configurations, and its StorTrends iDATA™ IT Infrastructure Assessment Tool during the upcoming Data Connectors Conferences, taking place in Washington, D.C. on August 14, and Indianapolis on August 21, 2014.

IT professionals attending the Data Connectors’ events will experience firsthand how the StorTrends 3500i delivers solid state (SSD) caching, tiering and automatically tuned volumes capabilities within the same array for dramatic enterprise performance and reliability to resource intensive applications. In addition, attendees will learn how the StorTrends iDATA assessment tool can non-intrusively assess their organization's entire IT environment to analyze capacity utilization, IOPS usage, reads vs. writes for volumes, network bandwidth, performance, server statistics and more to classify the amount of “hot data” and “cold data” required in their environment. The free iData tool allows enterprises to accurately develop a short and long-term storage strategy while eliminating the need to overprovision costly storage resources.

“Flash-based storage systems offer compelling performance benefits over traditional hard disk drive (HDD) storage systems, but have been too costly for many enterprises,” said Justin Bagby, director of the StorTrends Division at American Megatrends. “Our storage arrays break that barrier for organizations providing the right blend of high performance, high availability and scalability to meet enterprise application requirements at extremely affordable prices.”
