Boston Limited to Deploy Application Accelerating SSDs Using Diablo Memory Channel Storage

Boston Limited announces its plans to deploy application accelerating SSDs using Memory Channel Storage technology within Super Micro Computer, Inc.‘s server and storage platforms which is suited for a range of big-data analytical workloads, high-frequency trading, in-memory compute, virtualisation, VDI, and database acceleration – putting  data in motion.
 
Powered by Diablo Technologies, Inc.‘s Memory Channel Storage (MCS), the SSD’s design connects flash storage to the memory channel using a standard DIMM form factor, enabling it to be interoperable with RDIMM’s.

Memory Channel Storage enables new levels of application performance supported by next generation enterprise server and storage system designs.

Boston has combined the MCS technology with over 20 years’ experience of high performance and low latency computing to deliver certified solutions capable of delivering as low as 5?s write latency, random R/W performance of up to 150K/65K IO/s per DIMM, and data transfer rates up to 1GB/s/760MB/s* sequential R/W – enabling I/O performance to scale while maintaining low latency.
 
Manoj Nayee, MD, Boston Limited, says: “Customers are demanding more and more performance from their systems. We have developed a certified range of systems that will help deliver this performance to clients in various sectors looking for pure acceleration.“
 
San Jose, CA based Supermicro is supporting Boston with a range of MCS validated server platforms optimized for latency sensitive workloads.

Wally Liaw, VP sales, international, Supermicro, explains: “Supermicro’s MCS tuned Hyper-Speed and enterprise platforms dramatically accelerate I/O for mission critical, data intensive applications delivering customers such as Boston an unrivaled performance and reliability advantage for their end-to-end computing solutions.”

*Up to stated speed. Based on internal testing; performance may vary depending upon drive capacity, host device, OS and application.
