Newisys Demos Range of NVMe Flash Storage Platforms

Newisys, a product division of Sanmina Corporation, has demonstrated a number of its NVMe-based flash storage systems at Super Compute 2017.

The company offers a range of products with multiple NVMe drive connection capabilities including direct-attach, JBOF, NVMe over Ethernet, and server-based systems.

NVMe-based platforms:

NDS-2244

NDS2244 – The NDS-2244 2RU NVMe PCIe flash array (JBOF) has twenty-four 2.5″ drive bays. This storage expansion flash array provides high bandwidth and low latency access for up to twenty-four servers and includes dual-path drive connectivity. Connectivity to servers is via copper or fiber optic cable.

NDS22482F

NDS22482F – The NDS22482F is a 2RU NVMe over fabric (NVMeoF) product offering high bandwidth and low latency, supporting twenty-four PCIe NVMe drives accessible using NVMeoF protocol across six 100Gb/s ports. It provides access to the high performance of the NVMe drives over the network with virtually no latency or performance penalty.

NSS-2247

NSS2247 – The NSS-2247 is a 2RU NVMe/PCIe solid state flash array quad server combining twenty-four NVMe PCIe drives with four dual-socket Xeon class servers. The NSS-2247 provides ultra low latency access to the flash array while supporting up to eight 100GbE connectivity. It supports dynamic reconfiguration of the NVMe drives and hot plug to the four servers in order to best match data traffic requirements. Each pair of server modules can be mirrored via a link x16 non-transparent bridge.

NDS-1160

NSS1160G-2N – The NDS-1160 is a 1RU, dual-node flexible configuration storage server. This platform supports industry-standard storage drives ranging from 3.5″ HDD to 2.5″ SATA/SAS SSD and U2 2.5″ PCIe NVMe. The drive interface is defined by a custom expansion card or add-on standard HBAs featuring either SAS IO controllers or PCIe re-timers. Each server supports up to two standard PCIe add-on cards and one OCP format card.

“Our customers have responded very favorably to the record-setting performance of these products, achieving 15 million IO/s and 75GB/s with minimal latency,” said Eugene McCabe, EVP, Newisys. “Our platforms scale vertically and horizontally, giving customers maximum flexibility in how they deploy their next-generation NVMe-based architectures.“
