Michael is no stranger to the cutting edge. Here we see one side of the new Newisys NDS-2600, a 2U server that features 30 2.5" drive bays on each side of the system. As you can see in this image, the system is still on rails so it slides in and out of the server rack for service easily.

Armed with an Intel Xeon E5-26xx processor and 60 2.5" 2TB SSDs, the system delivers 120TB of all-flash capacity. The performance is just as impressive, 11 Gigabytes per second throughput and less than .7ms latency.

For those counting, that's over 2 million IOPS coming from a small 2U that even has a battery back up option. Connectivity comes from 2x 10GbE ports but the system also has an additional 2x 1GbE as well as USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 for maintenance tasks.
