What is XtremIO?

XtremIO was a scale-out, all-flash, block-based storage array designed for high-performance, low-latency applications. It used a unique architecture based on metadata clustering, content-addressable storage, and inline data reduction techniques (deduplication and compression). XtremIO was commonly used for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), database applications, and server virtualization environments that demanded consistent and predictable performance. Dell EMC acquired XtremIO and eventually discontinued it, incorporating its technology into other products like PowerStore.
