“Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.” — Tim Berners-Lee

In today’s digital economy, data isn’t just valuable; in fact, it’s foundational. Every modern system, from AI workflows to hybrid cloud environments, depends on reliable, responsive, and intelligent storage. Yet for too long, storage has been treated as a passive resource.

NGX Smart Analytics changes that. By turning raw storage telemetry into predictive insight, it helps businesses avoid outages, optimize performance, and reduce operational risk—before problems ever occur.

In this guide, we’ll explore how NGX transforms your storage infrastructure into a strategic advantage.


Why Predictive Storage Analytics Is Essential for Modern IT

Predictive analytics in storage is no longer optional—it’s strategic. According to Market Research Future:

“The global predictive analytics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.7% from 2022 to 2030.”
— Market Research Future, Predictive Analytics Market Forecast

This growth reflects a broader shift: IT teams are moving from reactive troubleshooting to proactive performance and risk management.

Today’s infrastructure spans cloud, on-premises, and edge systems. As a result, without visibility across environments, issues often go undetected, SLAs are harder to meet, and capacity planning becomes guesswork. Predictive storage analytics changes that—offering insight before issues arise, and control before performance suffers.

What NGX Smart Analytics Delivers:

✅ Clarity Before It’s Critical
Predictive dashboards highlight usage patterns and IO trends before they become bottlenecks—giving teams weeks of foresight, not minutes of warning.

✅ Root-Cause Detection in Real Time
When performance dips, NGX pinpoints the exact volume or share behind the slowdown using visual heatmaps and smart alerts—cutting troubleshooting from hours to minutes.

✅ Proactive Hardware Health Monitoring
From fans and DIMMs to SSDs and power supplies, NGX identifies failing components before users feel the impact—helping you stay ahead of potential outages.

✅ Consistent, SLA-Driven Data Delivery
Continuous optimization ensures your workloads meet performance targets, even under changing demand—so your business stays responsive and reliable.

These capabilities form the foundation of a modern IT strategy—one built on proactive insight, not reactive recovery.


Inside NGX Smart Analytics

NGX Smart Analytics is designed to turn visibility into action. More importantly, it enables preventive action rather than reactive fixes.

The Ultimate Guide to All-Flash vs. Hybrid Storage


Choosing between all-flash and hybrid flash storage is a critical choice for any business that uses a lot of data. As we move deeper into 2025, understanding the pros and cons of each type helps IT teams make better decisions. This post will explain what each system (all-flash array & hybrid flash storage) does well and how NGX Storage can help boost your business through expert guidance, 7/24 fast support, and high-performance storage solutions.


What Is an All-Flash Storage (AFA)?

An all-flash storage array is a system that stores all data on solid-state drives (SSDs), typically NVMe or SAS. The absence of spinning disks ensures faster data access and reduced power consumption. Most AFAs use NVMe or SAS SSDs.

This system is built to give fast speed, quick access to data, and steady performance.

Advantages:

  • Very fast (sub-millisecond delay)
  • High speed read and write (IOPS)
  • Uses less power and cooling
  • Works great for AI, virtual desktops (VDI), and apps with heavy use

Drawbacks:

  • Higher cost per TB


What is Hybrid Storage?

Hybrid storage systems use both solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs). SSDs handle active or frequently used data, while HDDs store less-used data. This tiered model balances performance and cost-efficiency, making it attractive for organizations with lots of different data types.

Advantages:

  • More affordable for large data needs
  • Sufficient performance for mid-tier workloads

Drawbacks:

  • Slower and less steady performance than all-flash systems
  • Consumes more energy and has higher cooling costs, which increases overall expenses.

NGX Storage - Microsoft offloaded data transfer (ODX)

Microsoft tarafından geliştirilen ODX (offloaded data transfer) teknolojisi veri transferi süreçlerinde sunucu üzerindeki yükleri alarak bu teknoloji ile uyumlu çalışan veri depolama sistemleri üzerine taşımaktadır. Özetle veri transferi işleminin sunucu yerine depolama ünitesine bırakılmasıdır. Pratikte bu işlemin nasıl gerçekleştiğini aşağıdaki diyagram üzerinden bakalım;

 

 

 

  1. Sunucu A, transfer etmek istediği veriye ait bilgileri içeren bir işaretçiyi (token) Sunucu B'ye gönderir.
  2. Sunucu B sözkonusu işaretçiye ait bilgileri ODX desteğine sahip olan veri depolama ünitesine iletir.
  3. Veri depolama ünitesi transfer edilecek veriyi herhangi bir network (ethernet, fibre channel veya sas) ortamı kullanmadan kendi içinde taşır.

Bu işlemler veri depolama ünitesi içerisinde gerçekleştiği için, sunucular üzerindeki işlemci yükü çarpıcı şekilde düşerken ağ kaynakları da kullanılmamış olur.

Özellikle Hyper-V kullanılan sanallaştırma ortamlarında VHD/VHDX oluşturulması ve Live Migration operasyonlarında ODX fark yaratmaktadır. NGX Storage, Microsoft ODX ile gelen ve Windows Server’ların veri transfer işini storage tarafında yapılmasını sağlayan POPULATE TOKEN - WRITE USING TOKEN, WRITE SAME ve UNMAP komutlarının tamamını desteklemektedir. Hem iSCSI hem de FibreChannel protokolü ile bu özellikler etkin bir şekilde kullanılabilmektedir.

ODX ile ilgili daha fazla bilgiye Microsoft'un sitesinden erişebilirsiniz.

NGX Storage – VMware VAAI Desteği

Depolama ünitesi kullanılan sanallaştırma ortamlarında dosya kopyalama ve taşıma işlemleri varsayılan olarak sanal sunucu üzerinden gerçekleşir. Bu durum hem fiziksel sunucu hem de sanal sunucu için fazladan kaynak(CPU, Memory, IO) tüketimine sebep olmaktadır. Ayrıca aktarım sırasında kullanılan depolama trafiğine de ekstra yük getirmektedir . Örneğin, sanallaştırma ortamlarında snapshot ve clone alma süreçlerinde kopyalama trafiği fiziksel sunucuya (hypervisor) kadar gelip, tekrar depolama ünitesine geri dönmektedir. Bu durumda fiziksel sunucuda hesaplama ve ram bellek tüketimi artarken aynı zamanda da network / SAN trafiğinde çoğu zaman darboğaz oluşturabilecek bir ağ trafiği meydana gelebilmektedir. Bu esnada oluşan yük dalgalanmaları kritik hizmet seviyesinde servis sağlayan kurumlar için performans şikayetlerine ve sonuçta da müşteri memnuniyetsizliğine dönüşebilmektedir.

VAAI (vStorage APIs for Array Integration) VMware tarafından ESXi 4.1 sürümü ile gelen veri depolama ünitesi veya yazılımı geliştiren firmalar için geliştirilen bir API katmanıdır. VMware ESXi sunucuları kopyalama ve taşıma sırasında VAAI kullanılmayan durumlarda trafiği hypervisor sunucusu üzerinden geçirmektedir. Ancak bu durum maliyetleri arttırabilir ve olası hizmet duraksamalarını beraberinde getirebilir.

NGX Storage, tüm ürün ailesinde VMware VAAI teknolojisiyle birlikte gelen tüm komut setlerini destekler. Böylece fiziksel sunucu üzerindeki depolama trafiği tamamen depolama ünitesi tarafından gerçekleştirilir. VMware VAAI teknolojisi tarafında desteklediğimiz özellikler;

  • Atomic Test & Set (ATS)
  • Clone Blocks/Full Copy/XCOPY
  • Zero Blocks/Write Same
  • Block Delete in ESXi 5.x and later hosts

 

Şekil 1: Yukarıdaki grafikte, VAAI etkinleştirilmeden önce ve etkinleştirildikten sonraki durum görülmektedir.

NGX Storage otomatik olarak VMware VAAI teknolojisini etkinleştirir.

Bu teknolojiden yararlanmak için herhangi bir işleme veya eklenti kurmaya gerek yoktur. Aşağıdaki görsellerden VAAI teknolojinin aktifleştiğini Hardware Acceleration tabının altında görebilirsiniz. Bu sekmede belirtilen “Supported” yazısı VAAI komutlarının desteklendiğini belirtmektedir.  

 

Şekil 2: VMware vCenter arabiriminde yer alan Datastores sekmesinde “Hardware Acceleration” olarak görülebilir.

   

Şekil 3: VMware esxcli komut arabiriminden ilgili sorgu ile VAAI teknolojisinin aktifliği görülebilir.

 

NGX Storage ile herhangi bir plugin yüklemeden VAAI özelliklerinden yararlanabilrisiniz. Yani herşey olması gerektiği gibi, kolay ve efektif.
