Micron Technology NVMe storage fire full, the release of unused capacity and performance
On May 3, Micron announced the launch of the SolidScale architecture, which provides groundbreaking low latency and high-performance access for computing and storage. Micron SolidScale architecture provides customers with the flexibility to deploy next-generation cloud native applications while still supporting traditional applications for today's and tomorrow's businesses. From online transaction processing to virtual platforms and analytics to machine learning, Micron's innovative architecture not only provides data quickly because of its high throughput, but also provides faster results with unprecedented low latency.
"As far as we can expect, the IOPS and capacity usage is less than 50% on average in deploying NVMe SSD in application servers.With Micron's new SolidScale architecture, you can share capacity across the entire application server, "Said Darren Thomas, vice president of storage products business at Micron Technology, Inc." We will consider each of the workloads, applications, and applications when designing technologies, products and systems, "said Darren Thomas, vice president of storage products at Micron Technology. Environmental impact so that customers can deploy applications faster and unrestricted extensions. "
It is estimated that by 2025 the global annual amount of digital data created will be as high as 163 bytes. As companies move toward horizontally expanding data centers, they need a flexible architecture that can integrate growing storage and computing needs to further unlock data potential. If you simply replace the original storage, and not let the interface, protocol and network to meet the needs of modernization, it is only the bottleneck to the other parts of the system.
Micron combines a combination of flash memory and PCIe NVMe in a platform with a converged NVMe over fabric infrastructure that is similar in performance to server-based storage and that performance levels can scale on a linear scale.
And Micron SolidScale platform architecture with innovation
Micron's SolidScale platform is designed to unlock the potential of NVMe SSDs. For mainstream NVMe SSDs, Micron's SolidScale platform enables companies to build scalable storage infrastructures that combine all the benefits of a centralized single storage pool with native server SSD performance. The SolidScale platform uses high-speed RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) fiber and low latency software to connect multiple nodes to create a well-crafted data service that provides a converged infrastructure that is similar to native direct-attached storage.
SolidScale was originally introduced for the Linux environment, and future versions will be extended to other software-defined storage (SDS) applications. As a dual-use design, SolidScale provides customers with a scalable high-performance block storage SDS architecture. SolidScale is designed for the most demanding application workloads, including large data and analysis, database acceleration, and high performance computing. It can also be used as the next-generation data center's NVMe over fabric infrastructure as a backbone for multi-faceted file systems.
The SolidScale architecture provides breakthrough performance, latency, and optimized capacity for workloads within a 2U node in a 24U server rack cabinet. Key features of this new architecture include:
• Flexible infrastructure: The logical volume capabilities of the SolidScale platform allow you to flexibly create and manage a centralized single storage pool where customers can create volumes of appropriate size for each server's data store.
• Optimized performance: Micron NVMe SSD speed combined with high-bandwidth Mellanox fiber for scalability: an additional five milliseconds of additional latency to the application's data channel compared to NVMe in the local server. The Micron SolidScale architecture is expected to reduce end-to-end latency to less than 200 milliseconds. The initial test for the Micron SolidScale platform was a measure of only three 2U SolidScale nodes in the case of IOPS exceeding 10.9 M.
· Simple management: SolidScale platform using Web-based management interface for critical data services to provide a simple graphical settings and configuration.
• Seamless expansion: Micron SolidScale architecture enables customers to easily scale storage capacity independently of computing or combined computing; in addition, as more nodes grow, performance will scale out effectively.
• Breakthrough data center efficiency: The SolidScale architecture consolidates the available storage together, allowing fewer servers to do the same work, or use the same number of servers to do more work. In short, it can make the computing server more streamlined, so that storage is independent of the calculation to expand.
Supportive quote
"By using high-speed interconnection of RoCE fiber, NVMe over fabric can connect the CPU more quickly, which makes the architecture a variety of low latency, robust data that needs to be analyzed across real-time data, high performance computing and very large scale databases "Laura DuBois, Group Vice President of Enterprise Storage, Server and System Infrastructure Software Research, said:" Micron continues to drive hardware and software limits to address data-intensive work through low latency, cost reduction and high performance Load the problem, laid the status of its pioneer.
"NVMe flash performance advantages, but the traditional storage architecture has not been optimized to use this performance through the network.MeiGang lead the way to innovation, designed a fully integrated shared accelerated storage architecture, this architecture combines the Micron NVMe and Excelero software "Said Micron's SolidScale architecture that allows customers to deploy NVMe storage on a data center scale without compromising performance or efficiency." Said Lior Gal, co-founder of Excelero.
"Faster storage requires faster networks for advanced protocols such as bandwidth, latency, and NVMe over fabrics," said Kevin Deierling, vice president of marketing, Mellanox Technologies. "With our end-to-end 100G Ethernet RoCE network, "The combination of the Spectrum® switch, the ConnectX-4® adapter and the LinkX® cable enables SolidScale to maximize its performance and overall infrastructure efficiency," he said.
Supply information
Micron SolidScale architecture is currently available to Micron's valued customers and partners for testing their application workloads in existing data center environments. According to the customer's verification and testing of this architecture, Micron SolidScale platform is expected to begin mass production in early 2018.
