====SolidFire==== {{Multiple image | direction = vertical | width = 300 | image1 = SolidFire_QoS.png | footer = SolidFire QoS }} SolidFire storage system uses an OS called NetApp Element Software (formally SolidFire Element OS) based on [[Linux]] and designed for SSDs and scale-out architecture with the ability to expand up to 100 nodes and provide access to data through SAN protocols [[iSCSI]] natively and [[Fiber Channel]] with two gateway nodes. Element OS provides a REST-based API for storage automation, configuration, management, and consumption. Element SW version 11 will not support FC. SolidFire uses iSCSI login redirection to distribute reads and writes across the cluster using helix algorithm.<ref>{{cite web |format = url |publisher = NetApp |author=Andy Banta |access-date = December 12, 2017 |date = May 19, 2016 |archive-date= November 18, 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171118200344/https://blog.netapp.com/blogs/why-solidfire-uses-iscsi-storage-protocol/ |url = https://blog.netapp.com/blogs/why-solidfire-uses-iscsi-storage-protocol/ |title = Why SolidFire Uses iSCSI Storage Protocol }}{{in lang|en}}</ref> Each node has pre-installed SSD drives, which must all be of the same type and capacity. Each SolidFire cluster can have a mix of different node models and generations.
