Infinidat, a leading provider of enterprise storage solutions, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has recognized the Infinidat’s SSA Express Software as a finalist in the 2024 Product of the Year Awards in the “Storage – Enterprise” category.
Hailed by enterprise customers and channel partners as one of the biggest innovations in enterprise storage over the past year, SSA Express Software for the InfiniBox® hybrid enterprise storage solution provides a fast, all-flash engine integrated into the hybrid array. SSA Express Software eliminates the need for enterprises to purchase separate siloed flash arrays to support smaller applications and workloads that require high performance at low latency.
“With our new SSA Express Software, enterprise customers can consolidate an increased number of workloads to the InfiniBox hybrid’s flash layer than ever before, taking advantage of an even greater level of application workload alignment and performance within our unique software-defined storage architecture,” said Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat. “We’re thrilled that our SSA Express has been named a Finalist in CRN’s Product of the Year Awards competition.”
SSA Express Software, which is part of Infinidat’s InfuzeOS™ operating system, was designed for enterprise customers who require fast, low-latency application response rates for a number of workloads and applications. It ensures that the application and workloads access the flash layer in the InfiniBox hybrid platform. The new software enables administrators to select specific datasets, applications, and workloads to reside in the SSD layer of the InfiniBox hybrid with near 100% read cache hit rate. They get the higher performance they need when they need it.
Enabling consolidation of additional workloads and providing full-flash performance on the hybrid array with SSA Express Software reduce costs, simplify storage management, lower IT operational requirements, and deliver ease of management – all without needing to buy small, all-flash arrays to augment the hybrid system.

The CRN Products of the Year Awards recognize the leading partner-friendly products in the IT channel today that either launched or were significantly updated over the last year.
