About the Inspur AS13000G5 Scale-Out NAS Distributed Storage System
The Inspur AS13000G5 is a distributed scale-out NAS and object storage platform based on Inspur's own InStorage OS, designed to scale from 3 nodes to hundreds of nodes in a single namespace. The system provides unified access via NFS v3/v4, SMB 3.x, S3-compatible object, iSCSI, and HDFS protocol gateway, making it a versatile shared storage platform for mixed enterprise and analytics workloads. Each node is built on a 2U chassis integrating compute, networking, and storage hardware, enabling a true hyper-converged storage architecture.
The AS13000G5 generation introduces NVMe-accelerated all-flash and hybrid configurations. Pure NVMe nodes deliver sub-millisecond latency for random I/O intensive workloads such as AI training data sets, high-performance databases, and EDA environments, while hybrid nodes combine NVMe caching tiers with high-density SAS/SATA HDDs for cost-effective warm-data and archive tiers. The platform supports automatic tiering between NVMe, SAS SSD, and SAS HDD tiers based on configurable heat-map policies.
Data protection options include erasure coding (EC) profiles from 4+2 to 16+4 and traditional N-way replication, allowing administrators to tune protection overhead against usable capacity. The system is widely deployed for AI/ML training data repositories, media and entertainment unstructured file storage, HPC scratch file systems, and enterprise backup landing zones where scalability beyond traditional NAS appliances is required.
Ideal for
- AI/ML training dataset repository (NFS/S3 access)
- HPC parallel scratch file system
- Media asset management and content collaboration storage
- Enterprise backup and archive target (S3 protocol)
- Big data Hadoop/Spark HDFS-compatible storage
- Genomics and life-sciences data lake
