InfiniBand operations, monitoring and memory pools. It is optimized for handling high I/O rates. Every storage controller runs a combination of different modules and shares the total load. These distributed (across different controllers) software modules handle each individual I/O operation, which traverses the cluster. XtremIO handles each I/O request by two software modules (2 hops), no matter if it is a single X-Brick system or a multiple X-brick cluster, again ensuring consistent latency, regardless of the size of the cluster. XIOS features global inline deduplication and compression, thin provisioning, snapshot architecture, XDP Data
Protection and full VAAI Integration.

shipped with higher capacity flash drives which deliver greater density. Software and hardware improvements allow XtremIO X2 systems to scale more incrementally than earlier XtremIO systems, allowing both scale-up capacity growth by adding storage to a single X-Brick (new to X2), and scale-out capacity growth by adding additional X-Bricks (possible in earlier configurations).
181:
X-Bricks can be combined in clusters for additional scaling of both capacity and performance. IOPS performance scales linearly with each additional X-Brick. Up to 8 X-Bricks can be combined into a single cluster with a raw capacity of up to 1.1 PB, which the company claims is an effective capacity of

The full-mesh RDMA network running on
Infiniband maintains a consistent path length to each data block, which in turn provides the same latency. The XIOS operating system software, which sits on top of a Linux kernel inside each storage controller, manages the system's functional modules, RDMA over

XtremIO arrays entered the market in early 2013 for limited testing, and the product line was officially launched by EMC on
November 14 of that year. The first generation product was built around 6U storage nodes called X-Bricks. These featured N-way active controllers, 250,000 random 4K read IOPS
173:
The base unit of the XtremIO X2 line is the X-Brick. XtremIO X2 X-Bricks are available in two types: X2-S and X2-R. X2-S configurations are used for virtual desktops with lower capacity requirements and high IO density. X2-R configurations are used for a variety of cases, from virtual servers to
160:
The XtremIO X2 line was introduced in May, 2017. It introduced enhancements to the iCDM software and multi-dimensional scaling, among other enhancements. Hardware density was increased; the X2 features more processing cores and a 4U controller head instead of the old 6U profile. The system also

The company was acquired by EMC Corporation in May, 2012 for US$ 430 million, while the technology was still in development. Considered a gamble by some experts, the acquisition was soon followed by additional merger activity in the flash market. Known as the home of the USB flash drive,
177:
Each X-Brick consists of two active-active controller nodes and a drive bay. Individual X-Bricks can scale up by adding as few as two SSDs at a time to any single brick. The capacity range for a single X2-S X-Brick is 7.2-28.8 TB, and the capacity range for a single X2-R X-Brick is
164:
These differences enabled significant performance gains (80% improvement in response times) but prohibit the coexistence of X1 and X2 hardware in the same cluster. Different clusters can be managed within the same IT interface, however.

XtremIO reached $ 1 billion in sales in 2015, expanded the capacity of the product and introduced efficient copy data management at the storage layer (iCDM), among other incremental improvements.
