QSAN has been building enterprise storage solutions since 2004, and that experience is evident in the XN4 line. The XN4226D in our lab is a 2U, 26-bay, all-NVMe array with dual active controllers, delivering high availability as unified block and file storage. QSM 4 software adds the expected data services, including snapshots, replication options, data reduction, and a straightforward management experience. The XN4 is designed for teams that seek NVMe speed without compromising multiprotocol flexibility, all at a very approachable price.
Key Takeaways
- “Fast today, ready for tomorrow”: StorageReview validates the XN4226D’s enterprise-class performance and scalability.
- Unified Storage Flexibility: Supports block, file, and object workloads in one platform.
- Proven NVMe Performance: Independent testing confirmed strong throughput and latency results for NVMe over TCP and RDMA.
- Proxmox Integration: Verified deployment with NVMe-oF, demonstrating simplicity and compatibility with open-source virtualization.
- Future-Ready AI Support: Includes NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage (GDS) for accelerating AI and HPC workloads.
- Exceptional Value: Delivers enterprise reliability and strong performance with high cost-efficiency.
QSAN has noted significant growth in media production, including live broadcasts, replay options, AI video enhancement, and OTT/edge caching, as well as in surveillance video analytics, such as smart city CCTV, anomaly detection, and real-time replay. These workloads are ideally supported with 100–200GbE throughput. The QSAN XN4226D is well-suited for nearly any workload.
