Assured Capacity

Kaminario was the first all-flash array vendor to introduce an effective capacity guarantee in 2014. K-Assured extends Kaminario’s commitment to ensuring customers get what they purchase. The Assured Capacity guarantee provides customers a minimum effective storage capacity for their purchase over the life of the array. This guarantee applies to any data set as long as it’s not already compressed or encrypted. If K2 does not meet the guaranteed effective capacity, Kaminario will provide the guaranteed capacity to the customer, at no additional cost.

Assured Performance!

Businesses expect all-flash solutions to support high performance, mission critical applications. Delivering consistent high performance as environments grow and as workloads become more complex requires an all-flash architecture that is designed for change. The Kaminario K2 can scale-out to maintain performance as environments grow and can maintain high performance in the face of mixed workloads. Kaminario K-Assured clarifies the performance you can expect. If the K2 does not perform as promised, Kaminario delivers additional compute resources at zero cost to close the gap.

Assured Availability

High availability is table stakes for enterprise class all-flash storage arrays. There is no excuse for violating the trust you put in your storage vendor’s ability to secure your most important asset – your data. A claim around high availability is not the same as a high availability promise. The Assured Availability guarantee delivers a very simple message: We are confident that K2 will deliver 99.999% uptime, if it doesn’t, we provide you with additional support at zero cost.

We would be happy to answer any questions you have.
