VDURA HYDRA (High-Performance, Yield-Optimized, Distributed, Resilient Architecture) Diagram
A fully software-defined, microservices-based storage platform built on the HYDRA architecture. Combines the speed of a true parallel file system (PanFS) with intelligent mixed-fleet tiering across NVMe flash and high-capacity HDDs in a single namespace. Scales from terabytes to exabytes on commodity hardware with no proprietary lock-in. Supports POSIX, NFS, SMB, S3, and CSI protocols.
V5000 configuration options, left to right: all flash, 50 percent flash, 98 percent HDD.
The VDURA V5000 is engineered for multi-tenant AI and HPC workloads, with All NVMe flash and NVMe flash + HDD capacity expansion nodes. Each rack delivers up to 45M IOPS and up to 2.7 TB/s throughput. Deploys on industry-standard servers with subscription-based pricing.
A POSIX-compliant parallel I/O driver that eliminates the bottlenecks of NFS and legacy storage protocols. DirectFlow provides cache-coherent, direct client-to-node data paths over RDMA or TCP/IP, scaling linearly as nodes are added.
Intelligent data placement across NVMe flash and high-capacity HDDs based on real-time access patterns. Delivers high performance where workloads demand it and cost-efficient capacity where they do not, allowing organizations to right-size flash without sacrificing throughput.
