- Comprehensive storage accelerator provides 12x lower flash
drive cost, faster read/write speeds, and increase in effective
storage.
MaxLinear, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXL), a leading provider of data
storage acceleration solutions for enterprise and data center
applications, today announced it will demonstrate the advanced
compression, encryption, and security performance of its storage
acceleration solution, Panther III, at the Future of Memory and
Storage (FMS) 2024 trade show from August 6-8, 2024. The demos will
show that Panther III can achieve up to 40 times more throughput,
up to 190 times better latency, and up to 1000 times less CPU
utilization than a software-only solution, leading to significant
cost savings in terms of flash drives and needed CPU cores.

MaxLinear’s Panther III creates a bold new product category for
maximizing the performance of data storage systems - a
comprehensive, all-in-one “storage accelerator.” Unlike encryption
and/or compression solutions, MaxLinear’s Panther III consolidates
a comprehensive suite of storage acceleration functions, including
compression, deduplication, encryption, data protection, and
real-time validation, in a single hardware-based solution. Panther
III is engineered to offload and expedite specific data processing
tasks, thus providing a significant performance boost, storage cost
savings, and energy savings compared to traditional software-only,
FPGA, and other competitive solutions.
“Panther III meets the needs of both data center administrators,
who are desperate for power efficiency and cost-saving storage
solutions with the rise of AI, and also dataset owners – who want
to store and access their data quickly, securely, and accurately,”
said Vikas Choudhary, Vice President of Ethernet & Storage
Accelerators at MaxLinear. “Panther III represents a significant
advancement in data storage systems technology, offering an
unmatched solution for how the world of data management and storage
is rapidly evolving.”
The data storage market is showing enormous growth, driven
largely by the rise of AI. According to a report published in 2024
by Fortune Business Insights, the global cloud storage market size
was valued at $108.69 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to
$665 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 22.4% during the forecast
period. This growth is driving an adjacent surge in power usage. A
report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) found that the
460 terawatt-hours (TWh) consumed by data centers in 2022
represented 2% of all global electricity usage. Much of that was
driven by computing and cooling functions within data centers.
Further, the Uptime Institute predicts AI will account for 10% of
the data center industry's global power use by 2025.
Panther III Lowers Total Cost of Ownership of Data Storage
Systems
MaxLinear's Panther III introduces a paradigm shift in cost
efficiency in two ways: Reducing the number of CPU cores needed for
common storage operation like encryption and compression; and,
through a 12:1 data reduction ratio, reducing the cost per GB of
flash drives needed for storage.
Software-only solutions for data compression and encryption,
while flexible, come with significant hidden costs, primarily due
to their reliance on CPU cores. In scenarios where high data
throughput is required, the number of CPU cores needed can be
staggering. For instance, achieving a data throughput rate of
200Gbps using traditional software based Deflate compression and
SHA256 hash requires approximately 3,100 CPU cores. Given that the
cost of a CPU core is estimated at $50, the total cost for the CPU
cores alone would amount to $157,000. Panther III achieves the same
200Gbps data throughput rate using just three CPU cores.
With regards to flash drives, Panther III provides significant
cost savings. With a 1U AFA storage server equipped with eight 1TB
NVMe drives, each drive costs approximately $240. This setup
provides a raw storage capacity of 8TB. However, when factoring in
typical storage overheads and the lack of compression, the
effective capacity remains limited. In this scenario, the system
storage cost is 25 cents per GB, which can quickly escalate as data
storage needs grow. With a 12:1 data reduction ratio, Panther III
significantly increases the effective storage capacity of NVMe
drives. In the example of an 8-drive 1U AFA storage server, Panther
III transforms the effective capacity from 8TB to a remarkable
96TB. This dramatic enhancement means that organizations can store
substantially more data on fewer drives, leading to significant
cost savings.
About MaxLinear’s Demos at FMS 2024
MaxLinear will showcase demonstrations of the Panther III
storage accelerator. The first will highlight the power of
offloading with a single Panther III card delivering 200G
throughput, showcasing increased memory bandwidth and enhanced
power savings. Attendees will witness how Panther III’s hardware
acceleration outperforms traditional software solutions,
efficiently handling intensive workloads with superior performance
and reduced energy consumption.
The second demonstration will display the seamless scalability
of Panther III with multiple cards working in unison within a
single server. This demo will emphasize the scalability and
performance benefits that data center customers can achieve,
showing firsthand how Panther III maintains high performance,
ultra-low latency and efficiency as it scales with minimal power
usage.
Join MaxLinear at Booth 515 at the FMS: Future of Memory and
Storage 2024 trade show to explore the latest innovations in
storage acceleration technology and discover how Panther III can
elevate your data center performance to new heights.
