Product Overview
The Quantum F2000 is a high-performance, highly available and reliable
storage array designed for studio editing, rendering, and other
performance-intensive workloads for large unstructured data sets.

The F2000 uses Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) flash drives for
ultra-fast reads and writes and to support a huge amount of parallel
processing. In addition, the F2000 uses the latest remote direct memory
access (RDMA) networking technology to provide direct access between
workstations and the NVMe storage devices, to provide predictable,
ultra-fast network performance. Lastly, both the software and hardware
architecture are designed to be highly available.
Relative to traditional solid state drive (SSD) and hard disk drive (HDD)
storage arrays, the F2000 is orders of magnitude faster, enables users to
move from Fibre Channel (FC) SAN infrastructures to Ethernet
infrastructures without giving up performance, and gains back racks of
data center space.
Unlike other NVMe storage arrays, the F2000 was designed specifically
for video and video-like data sets, so it can easily handle the
performance requirements of ultra-high-def content, high-resolution
images, and other forms of unstructured data.
