XE5 Series XE5026
High-Density NVMe-oF JBOF Fabric Attached Storage
The QSAN XE5 is an NVMe-oF JBOF fabric attached storage platform that provides a high-density all-NVMe flash array and supports NVMe-oF connectivity for performance-oriented enterprise environments.
With flash-based architecture, the system delivers consistent low-latency response and high throughput, enabling efficient data access for AI workloads, database systems, and other data-intensive applications.
The platform adopts a high-density NVMe SSD design to support parallel I/O processing and sustained throughput under demanding workloads, delivering up to 400 Gb/s bandwidth.
With NVIDIA® GPUDirect Storage support, XE5 helps minimize response time impact across applications requiring continuous data access.
XE5 supports flexible deployment across QSAN storage platforms and server direct-attached environments.
Its redundant and modular hardware design supports hot-swappable replacement to reduce service downtime, while the QSAN XInsight platform enables centralized management, monitoring, resource management, and streamlined workflows across storage environments.
