outpace.IO Z series is a family of NAS appliances that combines the innovative and feature rich ZFS file system with scale-out, massively parallel Ethernet backend storage solutions powered by outpace.IO A series.

Outpace.IO Z series leverages the open storage architecture capability of outpace.IO to bring together two best-of-breed systems – a high performance file system that can scale to a Zettabyte of storage and scale- out block storage infrastructure that offers simplicity and flexibility at a fraction of the cost of Fibre Channel storage.

Outpace.IO Z series is a modern, feature-rich NAS appliance based on the Zettabyte FileSystem (ZFS) and designed to work with outpace.IO block storage solutions.

Outpace.IO Z series is ideally suited for public and private cloud environments, video and big data applications, where rapid scalability, ease of use and flexibility are important in a file- based storage system.

Leveraging a shared pool of elastic block storage, the outpace.IO Z series protects sensitive data and maximizes storage efficiency for public and private clouds at a fraction of the cost of legacy solutions.

Administrators can easily deploy a pool of block storage within minutes, which can then be carved up and used by any number of front-end applications and file systems.

Scaling outpace.IO Z series storage system is as simple as adding more outpace.IO A series shelves for capacity.

The use of Layer 2 Ethernet to connect storage shelves from outpace.IO A series to outpace. IO Z series appliances obviates the need for complex, error- prone setup, configuration and multi-pathing.

The Z series can expand up to multiple pools, and supports Hybrid Storage that can be configured with read and write optimized SSDs for enhanced application performance.
