Big Data solutions require enormous and yet cost-effective storage consumption. SoftIron creates superior appliances for scale-out data centers – private and public cloud, and enterprise scale facilities. The appliances radically improve industry-standard performance on all critical metrics including: density, efficiency, capacity, speed and heat emission. All design, firmware, and manufacturing is done in-house in Newark, California, under the strictest controls. Notably, SoftIron is the only manufacturer offering auditable provenance on every single appliance it supplies. This is the foundation stone of security.
