AIC: Flash Array Server Platform With Seagate NVMe SSDs and Networking From Mellanox
With software-defined storage, 750,000 4KB IO/s random read based on 3-node cluster
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on September 27, 2017 at 2:19 pmAIC, Inc. announces a collaboration with industry partners to deliver software-defined storage (SDS) suitable for flexible deployment in data centers.
The company provided its NVMe cluster servers, which combined with Seagate Technology plc‘s NVMe SSDs and networking service from Mellanox Technologies, Ltd., enables users to accelerate their high performance applications.
Data center operators can scale the SDS throughput and performance by adding more network connections and cluster servers. The demonstration highlights that this new SDS capability reaches 750,000 4KB IO/s random read performance and 480,000 4K random 70% read and 30% write speeds (based on 3-node cluster).
4KB Performance
ScaleIO: 3 AIC servers, 10 Seagate NVMe SSDs per server and Mellanox 100Gb/s ad 40Gb/s
Enterprise organizations that routinely work with multiple databases and a variety of user environments will appreciate that the new SDS solution delivers 8.2GB/s 1MB sequential write and 2.6GB/s 1MB random write throughput.
At the heart of the SDS solution is AIC’s SB122A-H, an all-NVMe flash array server platform for low latency storage applications needing high IO/s. It supports up to two Intel Xeon Processors (E5-2600 v3 and v4).
CIOs, looking for a better return on their investment, should know that the flash array server platform will operate for at least 5 years, using the Intel C612 series chipset. The platform is also built with hot-swap fans and airflow from front to back to maintain optimal working temperatures.
