Direct Scale-Out Flash 3rd Party Performance Validation

Apeiron’s ADS1000 outperforms internal NVMe SSDs at PetaByte scale

Folsom, CA (PRWEB) May 05, 2016

The ability to provide integrated storage switching across multiple enclosures and servers, with zero performance penalties, means that businesses can bring NVMe out of the silos typical of scale-out architectures. Petabyte scale pools of high performance NVM, can now be allocated to huge number of servers. Each ADS1000 enclosure has a fully integrated 32-port switch, so there are no external fabrics to procure and manage. With high performance virtual LUNs, the CPU is optimized, and in many cases realizes an 80%+ boost in performance. The elimination of external switching and the ability to optimize the CPU provide the ADS1000 with a powerful ROI/TCO advantage. The system is comprised of a 2U drive enclosure, containing 32 ports of 40GbE and 24 NVMe SSDs. Any NVMe SSD manufacturer is supported. This multi-vendor approach eliminates the risk of single source proprietary solutions. The customer is free to choose the proper NVMe drive profile for their workload.

Apeiron is ready for the future as well, with connectivity on day-one to Intel’s next generation NVMe drives; using 3D XPoint™ technology. With a fully integrated fabric capable of scaling to thousands of drives, extreme performance on massive workloads is now possible. Businesses can now create performance-focused NVMe networks capable of truly leveraging the next generation of Hadoop, Spark, Splunk and other big data applications requiring massive datasets.

Apeiron’s Direct Scale-out Flash platform enables lower capital and operational costs through the consolidation of servers and external switching. This enables more performance in a smaller footprint—and as NVMe drive densities and performance increase in the future, the Apeiron advantages will increase in kind.

"Apeiron's ADS1000 extends the low latency potential of NVMe with the benefits of scale-out pools of networked storage that leverage Ethernet infrastructure," said Scott Sinclair Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, Inc. "If you were to project how NVMe technology would penetrate the data center, you would picture something like Direct Scale-out Flash."
