Meta Brain AS5500G5 Hybrid Flash Storage

Multi-tier hybrid array with 12× NVMe + 24× HDD bays, 500 TB raw & sub-500 µs latency. Scalable caching for AI & VDI. Shop UAE now.

Overview

The Meta Brain AS5500G5 blends flash speed with HDD capacity in a single 4U chassis. Twelve front-hot-swap NVMe bays act as a high-performance cache in front of twenty-four 3.5″ HDD slots. With up to 500 TB raw capacity and sub-500 µs latency, it’s ideal for AI/ML, VDI, and mixed-workload environments craving both throughput and cost-efficiency.

Product Description

This hybrid storage powerhouse pairs dual-active controllers with a front-end NVMe cache tier to accelerate random I/O while delivering petabyte-scale HDD economics. Inline caching algorithms adapt in real time, pushing “hot” data to ultra-fast NVMe modules and “cold” data to high-density HDDs. Dual 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel and 25 GbE iSCSI ports ensure flexible connectivity, while redundant 1400 W Titanium PSUs and smart-fan modules lock in 24/7 uptime. Manage via an intuitive HTML5 GUI or REST API for automation.
