Winchester Systems COTS Rugged FlashDisk All Flash Array Offers Capacity & Price Options

BILLERICA, MA--(Marketwired - Mar 7, 2016) -  Winchester Systems Inc., a leading data storage solutions provider for federal and military C4ISR applications, today announced that it now offers a wide variety of 2.5" SSDs that offer capacity, endurance (measured in Drive Writes per Day or DWD) and price options for its rugged FlashDisk AFA All Flash Array. These all flash systems are ideal for mobile deployable applications -- especially for high speed, real-time data acquisition from radar, camera, video and other sensor driven sources.

Importantly, these options lower the entry price point for low capacity solutions while also lowering the cost per GB for high capacity solutions as follows:

The rugged FlashDisk AFA delivers 487,000 IOPS continuous performance for random access applications and 12.6 GB/sec. data throughput for C4ISR applications including video, mapping, radar and data acquisition. It offers another key advantage for military applications - data is stored in native format and does not compromise performance with compression or de-duplication and yet is competitively priced on a cost per GB basis.
