About the Inspur AS5300G3 Hybrid Flash SAN Storage Array
The Inspur AS5300G3 is a 2U dual-controller hybrid SAN storage array that employs NVMe SSDs as an intelligent read/write cache tier backed by SAS HDD capacity drives, delivering all-flash-like performance for hot data at traditional hybrid economics. The active-active controller design supports Fibre Channel (8/16/32Gb), iSCSI (1/10/25GbE), and NVMe/TCP host protocols simultaneously, enabling the array to serve mixed host environments during technology refresh transitions without requiring protocol consolidation.
The array's cache algorithms use workload heat-mapping to promote frequently accessed LBA extents to NVMe cache tiers automatically, while cold data resides on high-density NL-SAS drives. For write-intensive workloads, the NVMe write cache with NVDIMM-backed destage queuing ensures data is committed safely before destage to HDDs, maintaining data integrity across power events. Thin provisioning, snapshots, clones, and replication features are all available without additional licensing.
The AS5300G3 targets mid-market enterprises and service providers looking for a unified block storage platform that can serve databases, virtual machines, and backup workloads from a single array without the cost of all-flash. Its VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX offload support reduces CPU overhead on hypervisor hosts. Inspur's UniStor management interface provides a single pane of glass for provisioning, monitoring, and reporting across multiple array instances.
Ideal for
- Mid-tier VMware vSphere datastore (VMFS/NFS)
- Microsoft SQL Server and Exchange storage
- Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) storage
- Backup data landing zone (Veeam/Commvault repository)
- Secondary database and development/test storage
- SMB/mid-market ERP application storage
