Vexata Memory Class Storage Arrays to Integrate Intel Xeon Scalable Processors

Vexata, Inc., in real-time enterprise storage solutions, announced its latest VX-100 product family will integrate the Intel Xeon Scalable Processors, providing better throughput, IO/s and latency performance than Vexata’s second generation arrays which were based on the previous generation of Intel Xeon processors.

The Intel Xeon Scalable Processors offer up to 28 cores delivering performance and scalability for compute-intensive workloads across enterprise storage usages. Additionally, the platform offers superior memory performance thanks to an increase in memory channels, and DIMMs running at up to 2,666MHz. Vexata arrays are able to realize these benefits with a hardware upgrade to the new platform.

With Xeon Scalable Processors inside, the Vexata VX-100M Array featuring Intel Optane SSDs, are expected to achieve seven million IO/s and 80GB/s of bandwidth at 40µs latency a significant increase over the previous generation.*

“Vexata and Intel have been collaborating closely over the last few years to bring cutting-edge storage arrays based on Intel Optane technology to enterprises,” says Zahid Hussain, CEO, Vexata. “Vexata arrays offer industry-leading performance for database and analytics applications at unbeatable economics. We are pleased that the Intel Xeon Scalable platform helps us push the performance envelope further and offer more data services to our customers.“

Enterprises are undergoing a digital transformation that is resulting in a need to process higher volumes of data in real time. Application and infrastructure acceleration through faster multi-core CPUs is critical to this transformation. Vexata’s arrays with the Vexata OS (VxOS) are fueled by Intel Xeon Scalable Processors to accelerate I/O control path and storage services, while creating a wide low latency offloaded datapath to solid state media.
