“The ULLtraDIMM SSD was designed to expand the reach of flash storage throughout the data centre and scale to meet the requirements of any enterprise application - no matter how bandwidth or capacity intensive,” said John Scaramuzzo, senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Storage Solutions at SanDisk. “We are very excited to partner with Supermicro in offering this innovative, ultra-low latency storage solution to help their customers accelerate the performance of their cloud, virtualisation, HPC and other applications and experience the benefits of a flash-transformed data centre.
According to IDC, by 2015 big data workloads will be one of the fastest-growing contributors to storage in the cloud. With data being generated, processed and stored at unprecedented levels, and IT pressured to accelerate performance and deliver real-time access to information, enterprises are increasingly turning to flash-based, low-latency storage solutions.
Eric Burgener, research director for IDC’s storage practice, said: “Memory channel storage options like SanDisk’s ULLtraDIMM consistently deliver lower storage latencies than data centre SAN solutions can. There are a number of different application environments, including database, VDI, and mixed virtual workloads, that can directly benefit from these types of lower latencies, and more and more organisations are deploying them. With this design win under its belt, it’s clear that SanDisk’s partners are seeing a good market opportunity for these types of host-based storage solutions.”
Supermicro tested the 200GB and 400GB* capacities of the ULLtraDIMM SSD under a variety of enterprise workloads and end-user scenarios. The benchmarks showed that the ULLtraDIMM SSD provides the lowest latency storage option available today.
“Supermicro leads the industry with the widest range of innovative, high performance, green computing solutions and delivers the lowest latency server and storage platforms on the market with SanDisk’s ULLtraDIMM technology,” said said Wally Liaw, sr. vice president of sales at Supermicro. “With complete in-memory compute optimised solutions, we offer the most cost-effective path to scalable, ultra-low latency performance for mission-critical, data-intensive workloads in data centre, cloud, enterprise, virtualisation, financial Services and HPC applications.”
The award-winning ULLtraDIMM SSD can be integrated into an existing DIMM slot, which removes the performance bottleneck from the storage subsystem. This ensures ultra-low latency in business applications and results in improved application response times. Additionally, adding ULLtraDIMM SSDs to systems can scale performance and capacity without impacting latency. This creates new opportunities for server system designs to support use cases that require extremely fast storage, such as VDI, transaction processing, virtualisation, and cloud computing.
