…And Demos 1.7 Million iSCSI IO/s Solution

On single 10GE port, with Micron's SSDs

Chelsio
Communications
Inc.
demonstrated a 2.1 million IOPs solution during Storage Networking
World 2012 in Santa Clara, CA.

Built with
off-the-shelf hardware and showcasing the Chelsio Unified Wire
adapters and Unified Storage Server (USS) software, the demo showed
resellers and system integrators how to easily construct a high
performance unified SAN and NAS target solution. The demo included
five iSCSI initiators (running MS Windows Server 2012) accessing the
iSCSI target through a generic 10GbE switch. The iSCSI target server
includes a single Chelsio T4 Unified Wire adapter, four PCIe SSDs
from Micron Technology, Inc. and Chelsio’s USS software.

Iometer
benchmarking software is used to show the R/W performance of the
system. Chelsio is achieving 2.1 million IOPs to RAMDisk, and 1.7
million IOPs to SSDs.

"Our
USS software and offload silicon technology enables an extremely
cost-effective, high performance storage target solution,
"
said Kianoosh Naghshineh, president and CEO of Chelsio. "Chelsio’s
high performance iSCSI silicon enables Ethernet to permanently
supplant FC and absorb another protocol, using generic TCP/IP and
without reinventing a slew of new protocols or requiring an
infrastructure forklift upgrade – exactly what the industry needs.
We’re continuing to push the price-performance curve and delivering
industry-leading solutions for the high performance storage market.
"

Chelsio USS Software
supports CIFS/SMB, NFS, RDMA, FTP, HTTP, Lustre, iSCSI, FC, thin
provisioning volumes, volume cloning, snapshots, instant restore from
snapshots, volume encryption, remote replication, compression, shared
storage HA, system monitor and alert, back-ups, and other features.


Additional features
of USS:

  • Ease-of-Use:
    Use the Web-based GUI or CLI Interface to configure and deploy block
    and file storage. This also includes the ability to easily configure
    the supported RAID cards right from within USS.
  • Low TCO:
    USS provides some of the lowest cost per GB solutions in the
    industry. Users can add storage to the solution with no additional
    software licenses.
  • T4
    Technology:

    USS uses Chelsio’s Unified Wire technology to provide off-load
    capabilities
  • Mission Critical:
    Chelsio USS provides for HA configurations as well as
    replication and snapshots.
  • Scalability: It has been deployed in cloud applications with up to half a
    PB of data per head.
