NGD Systems Steps up with Arm Processors on SSDs at SC19
December 11, 2019 by
In this video from the Arm booth at SC19, Scott Shadley from NGD Systems describes the company’s innovative computational storage technology. “In a nutshell, Computational Storage is an IT architecture where data is processed at the storage device level to reduce the amount of data that has to move between the storage and compute planes. As such, the technology provides a faster and more efficient means to address the unique challenges of our data-heavy world – satisfying reduced excess bandwidth and providing very low latency response times by reducing data movement and allowing response for analytics as much as 20 to 40-times faster.”
Micron steps up with NVMe SSDs
April 28, 2019 by
Micron recently unveiled its new series of flagship solid-state drives (SSDs) featuring the NVMe protocol, bringing industry-leading storage performance at higher capacities to cloud and enterprise computing markets. The Micron 9300 series of NVMe SSDs enables companies with data-intensive applications to access and process data faster, helping reduce response time.
NVMe SSDs and DRAM for High Performing Mixed Workloads
August 23, 2018 by
This guest article from Kingston Technology covers how NVMe SSDs and DRAM are being used for high performing mixed workloads.
Micron Now Shipping Quad-Level Cell NAND SSDs
May 22, 2018 by
“Today Micron Technology announced the company is shipping the industry’s first SSD built on revolutionary quad-level cell (QLC) NAND technology. The Micron 5210 ION SSD provides 33 percent more bit density than triple-level cell (TLC) NAND, addressing segments previously serviced with hard disk drives (HDDs). The introduction of new QLC-based SSDs positions Micron as a leader in providing higher capacity at lower costs to address the read-intensive yet performance-sensitive cloud storage needs of AI, big data, business intelligence, content delivery and database systems.”
NVMe Over Fabrics High performance SSDs Networked for Composable Infrastructure
March 27, 2018 by
Rob Davis from Mellanox gave this talk at the 2018 OCP Summit. “There is a new very high performance open source SSD interfaced called NVMe over Fabrics now available to expand the capabilities of networked storage solutions. It is an extension of the local NVMe SSD interface developed a few years ago driven by the need for a faster interface for SSDs. Similar to the way native disk drive SCSI protocol was networked with Fibre Channel 20 years ago, this technology enables NVMe SSDs to be networked and shared with their native protocol. By utilizes ultra-low latency RDMA technology to achieve data sharing across a network without sacrificing the local performance characteristics of NVMe SSDs, true composable infrastructure is now possible.”
Intel Rolls out new 3D NAND SSDs
February 16, 2018 by
Today, Intel announced the Intel SSD DC P4510 Series for data center applications. As a high performance storage device, the P4510 Series uses 64-layer TLC Intel 3D NAND to enable end users to do more per server, support broader workloads, and deliver space-efficient capacity. “The P4510 Series enables up to four times more terabytes per server and delivers up to 10 times better random read latency at 99.99 percent quality of service than previous generations. The drive can also deliver up to double the input-output operations per second (IOPS) per terabyte.”
Now Shipping: Intel Optane SSDs with 4x Performance of NAND-Based Devices
October 27, 2017 by
Today Intel announced the launch of the Intel Optane SSD 900P Series, the first SSD for desktop PC and workstation users built on Intel Optane technology. “Up to four times faster than competitive NAND-based SSDs, the Intel Optane SSD 900P Series delivers incredibly low latency and best-in-class random read and write performance. The Intel Optane SSD 900P Series is ideal for the most demanding storage workloads, including 3D rendering, complex simulations, fast game load times and more. The device also offers up to 22 times more endurance than other drives.”
Wow! Nimbus Data Unveils 50 Terabyte ExaDrive SSDs
August 9, 2017 by
“With an interface and form factor identical to HDDs, but with vastly more capacity, ExaDrive will accelerate flash adoption in the data center. Viking Technology and SMART Modular Technologies recently began shipping 50 TB and 25 TB ExaDrive-powered SSDs for cloud infrastructure, technical computing, and digital content storage.”
Radio Free HPC Optimizes Drive Writes Per Day for SSDs
July 12, 2017 by
In this podcast, the Radio Free HPC team looks at why Drive Writes Per Day are such an important metric for acquiring the right kind of SSD for your particular workload. “Drive writes per day (DWPD) is an endurance rating that manufacturers of NAND flash storage provide their customers. … DWPD will vary, depending upon whether the storage is intended for consumer or enterprise use. Consumer use solid state drives (SSDs) have a fixed endurance rating and capacity.”
