About the Inspur AS13000F All-Flash Scale-Out Storage Cluster
The Inspur AS13000F is the all-flash variant of the AS13000 distributed storage platform, replacing all spinning-disk tiers with NVMe SSDs across every node to deliver consistent sub-millisecond latency at petabyte scale. The platform is designed for enterprises that have outgrown traditional all-flash arrays and require horizontal scalability beyond dual-controller architectures, including large-scale database environments, AI inference serving, and real-time analytics platforms where millions of IOPS must be sustained across thousands of clients.
Each 2U all-flash node integrates compute, NVMe storage, and networking in a single chassis, with nodes connecting via a 100GbE or 200Gb InfiniBand data fabric. The distributed architecture eliminates controller bottlenecks by parallelizing I/O across all nodes simultaneously; as nodes are added, both IOPS and throughput scale linearly. The InStorage OS provides strong consistency semantics for shared POSIX file access (NFS/SMB) while simultaneously serving S3 object workloads from the same namespace, with per-bucket/per-volume QoS enforcement.
The AS13000F supports inline global deduplication and compression across the entire cluster namespace (not per-node), maximizing effective capacity utilization across diverse application data sets. Integration with Kubernetes CSI, VMware vSphere, OpenStack Cinder/Manila, and REST API enables fully automated storage provisioning in modern DevOps and cloud-native enterprise workflows. The system is positioned against IBM Spectrum Scale All-Flash and NetApp ONTAP AFF A-Series for large enterprise and service provider accounts.
Ideal for
- High-performance AI inference data serving (model and feature store)
- Oracle Exadata-alternative multi-tenant database storage
- Real-time streaming analytics (Apache Kafka, ClickHouse storage)
- High-frequency electronic design automation (EDA) scratch storage
- VMware Virtual Volumes (vVOL) all-flash datastore at scale
- Kubernetes persistent volume storage for stateful microservices
