Record Performance for NextIO vSTOR Appliance
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Tue, November 23rd, 2010
4.2 million IO/s in 4U platform
vSTOR S200 features 16 Fusion-io flash-based storage-class memory (ioMemory) cards with a storage capacity of 10.2 Terabytes and delivers 4.2 million IOPS (input/output operations per second) performance in a 4U platform, surpassing the previous benchmark of 2.1M IOPS set in April with vSTOR S100. NextIO performed the benchmark test using two servers supporting four 3GHz Quad-Core AMD Opteron Processors each connected via PCI-Express to 16 ioMemory cards from Fusion-io in the vSTOR appliance.
Today's benchmark widens the performance gap and places NextIO as leader in rack-based tier zero solutions. NextIO's vSTOR solution utilizes PCI-Express-based ioMemory technology and server connections and can be reconfigured and consolidated across multiple servers, rather than installing separate storage cards in each server. Additionally, vSTOR technology replaces spindle drives closest to the server with low power solid-state technology, which has the highest IOPS and bandwidth performance per server for the price.
"NextIO technology offers our customers a unique combination of performance and capacity for their most demanding applications," said Tyler Smith, Vice President of Alliances, Fusion-io. "While doubling the performance benchmark, NextIO also increased the customer's ability to share and dynamically deploy Fusion-io across multiple servers and applications, dramatically improving ROI."
"NextIO developed the vSTOR solution to provide best-in-breed performance and features for the HPC community, and we continue that tradition with vSTOR S200," said Mike Heumann, Sr. Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing, NextIO. "With vSTOR S200, NextIO will offer enhanced low-latency, high-IOPS and high-bandwidth solutions for HPC cluster applications, resulting in optimum performance."
The vSTOR S200 will be available in early 2011.
