Aimed at HPC Applications, Each Newisys Storage
Server Features Seagate SSDs Capable of 49GB/s, Scaling to 1TB/s in
a Full Rack
When speed matters in high-performance computing (HPC) storage,
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) and Newisys have the
industry’s fastest flash storage design. The two companies today
announced that 21 Newisys NSS-2601 with dual NSS-HWxEA Storage
Server Modules deployed with Seagate’s newest SAS 1200.2 SSD drives
can be combined in a single 42U rack to achieve block I/O
performance of 1TB/s with 5PB of storage. Each Newisys 2U server
with 60 Seagate SSDs is capable of achieving bandwidth of 49GB/s.
Newisys is a division of Sanmina Corporation (NASDAQ: SANM) and a
leading provider of data center products for enterprise and cloud
applications.
“This is one of the highest storage densities ever achieved in
the industry, and holds the potential for new breakthroughs in
storage system performance,” said Brett Pemble, VP and general
manager of flash products, Seagate. “Our partnership with Newisys
enables us to continue to innovate with how storage is
architected.”
Applications that might benefit most from this flash solution
include those where microseconds matter in processing massive
amounts of data. These applications might include metadata caches
for large data centers, as well as prediction models for financial
markets, oil and gas, and weather that are constantly changing and
in need of pushing the performance envelope in a constant race
against time.
“This solution takes advantage of what high-performance SSDs can
offer without sacrificing space, power, cooling or redundancy,”
said Eugene McCabe, EVP of the Newisys product division at Sanmina.
“Crossing the 1TB/s threshold in a single rack while leveraging
industry standard products is a major milestone.”
The Newisys NSS-2601 enclosure supports 60 2.5” SAS drives and
two NSS-HWxEA Storage Server Modules. Each NSS-HWxEA Storage Server
Module is a high-performance enterprise class server covering a
broad spectrum of cost-performance requirements. The
high-availability, ultra-high density platform can be configured as
a single socket (HW1EA) or dual socket (HW2EA) server supporting
the Intel E5-2600 v3/4 family of Xeon processors. The modules
enable 32 12Gb/s SAS lanes each, and the enclosure supports the
12Gb/s data path completely through to the end devices. The
solution includes full server redundancy and data-loss protection
capabilities.
The Seagate 1200.2 SAS SSD is the first 12Gb/s SAS device to
optimize dual-channel throughput with up to 1900MB/s sequential
reads and offers multiple endurance choices within a single
hardware and firmware design. The 1200.2 SAS SSD protects data from
undetected, unintentional corruption and prevents unauthorized
access with three levels of security. For enterprise and cloud
customers also requiring high data availability, this SSD drive
delivers the data integrity required in the event of an unexpected
power loss.
