Accelerates Storage Solution Providers’ Time to
Market while Improving Performance, Power Consumption, and Flash
Array Affordability
Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a leading supplier
of high-performance, end-to-end smart interconnect solutions for
data center servers and storage systems, today announced the
availability of storage reference platforms based on its
revolutionary BlueField™ System-on-Chip (SoC), combining a
programmable multicore CPU, networking, storage, security, and
virtualization acceleration engines into a single, highly
integrated device.
BlueField integrates all the technologies needed to connect NVMe
over Fabrics flash arrays, with the fastest performance available
in the market. BlueField provides 200 Gb/s of throughput and more
than 10 million IOPS in a single SoC device. In addition, the
powerful on-board multicore ARM processor subsystem enables
flexible programmability that allows vendors to differentiate their
software-defined storage appliances with advanced capabilities.
This makes BlueField the ideal chip to control and connect All
Flash Arrays and Just-a-Bunch-Of-Flash (JBOF) systems to InfiniBand
and Ethernet Storage fabrics.
“BlueField is the most highly integrated NVMe over Fabrics
solution,” said Michael Kagan, CTO of Mellanox. “By tightly
integrating high-speed networking, programmable ARM cores, PCIe
switching, cache, memory management, and smart offload technology
all in one chip; the result is improved performance, power
consumption, and affordability for flash storage arrays. BlueField
is a key part of our Ethernet Storage Fabric solution, which is the
most efficient way to network and share high-performance
storage.”
“As data takes over the world, networked storage takes over
computing,” said Peter Burris, GM and Chief Research Officer of
Wikibon. “The BlueField SoC controller is a leading example of the
right technology at the right time.”
BlueField and the BlueField flash array reference platform are
being shown at Flash Memory Summit, Aug. 8-10, at the Santa Clara
Convention Center, Mellanox booth, #138. BlueField samples and
storage reference design systems will be available in Q4, 2017.

“We use Mellanox NICs and RDMA today, and are excited that
BlueField integrates all the technologies needed to connect NVMe
over Fabrics flash arrays,” said Yaniv Romem, CTO at Excelero. “We
are looking forward to seeing the fastest performing SoC come to
market in the form of Mellanox BlueField technology.”
“Continuous innovation around NIC and RDMA solutions is why E8
Storage is proud to collaborate with Mellanox to deliver an
end-to-end shared NVMe solution for high-performance enterprise
storage applications,” said Ziv Serlin, VP
System Architecture, E8 Storage. “With 200 Gb/s of throughput
and up to 10 million IOPS in a single SoC device,
BlueField will bring increased performance and flexible
programmability to the industry.”
“BlueField will power a new class of flash storage designs based
on Mellanox’s robust SoC,” said Evan Chien, Director of Inventec.
“We are pleased to see this advancement as BlueField enables a new
level of flexible programmability that will enable us to
differentiate our products with additional advanced
capabilities.”
“The Mellanox BlueField technology and ConnectX®-5 adapters can
pass storage traffic directly to our flash controllers and NVRAM
devices, thereby greatly enhancing NVMe over Fabrics performance,”
said Derek Dicker, vice president and business unit manager for
performance storage at Microsemi. “Our SwitchTek PCIe switches and
FlashTek SSD controllers are the ideal fit for flash storage
systems using the BlueField SoC and we look forward to leveraging
this technology.”
“BlueField holds the promise of greatly enhancing our product
offerings,” said Eugene McCabe, EVP, Sanmina. “As we continue to
improve our offerings, BlueField will enable us to offer our
customers increased performance and efficiency, thereby delivering
a more robust system solution.”
“BlueField is a brand new, highly integrated device,” said Peter
Tung, Chief Operation Officer for Enterprise Business Group,
Wistron. “The advanced performance and capabilities makes it an
elegant solution for controlling and connecting our All Flash
Arrays to Mellanox InfiniBand and Ethernet storage fabrics.”
