STEC Showcases PCIe Solid-State Accelerator for High-Performance Computing and Supercomputing Applications at SC11
November 15 2011 - 9:25AM
SC11
-- STEC, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEC), The SSD
Company™, a leading global provider of solid-state drive (SSD)
technologies and products, today announced that its PCI Express
(PCIe) solid-state accelerator (SSA) will be demonstrated in the
STEC booth (#6115) at Supercomputing Conference 2011 (SC11),
beginning today at the Washington State Convention Center.
Incorporating STEC's latest innovative technologies, these PCIe
SSAs provide advanced performance and ultra low-latency without
taxing server CPU or memory cycles, which makes these solutions
ideally suited for High-Performance Computing (HPC) and
supercomputing applications. STEC PCIe SSAs help end-users access
data faster and accelerate server application performance, which is
especially important given the staggering volumes of data
characteristic of these environments.
STEC SSAs uniquely integrate PCIe and flash technologies into a
compact, power-efficient solution managed by a purpose-built native
PCIe flash controller that provides a direct, low-latency path
between the user application and flash. The STEC SSA solution sits
next to the CPU on the PCIe bus to address urgent and critical
functions (such as application acceleration), while delivering
consistent, fast and reliable access to data over its lifetime. Its
low profile form factor, in combination with its high level of
performance and enterprise-class reliability, enables both dramatic
performance improvements in virtualized server environments and in
server consolidation. As a result, data centers equipped with STEC
PCIe SSAs require fewer and lower cost server deployments,
translating into lower total operating cost (TOC). Collectively,
these achievements enable STEC PCIe SSAs to meet or exceed the
demands of any business application that requires accelerated
access to data or high transaction rates including HPC, OnLine
Transaction Processing (OLTP), e-commerce, and video streaming.
STEC will also demonstrate its ZeusRAM™ SSD – an
enterprise-class, wear-resistant RAMDrive that is targeted for
low-latency, high write transaction environments requiring fast
write commit capabilities to speed end user application throughput
of NAS and unified storage appliances. It delivers DRAM speeds and
writes with the persistence of flash and fits into the existing
Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) infrastructure. Enterprise applications
can write to a ZeusRAM SSD at extremely high speeds, 24/7/365, year
after year, and the drive will not wear out during its life time,
even under the most write-intensive workloads. As a result, ZeusRAM
SSDs are ideally suited for HPC environments where high
availability (HA) storage and super low-latency responses are
required to minimize response times and speed up system analytics
and performance for metadata and logging applications, as well as
for server-side and Zil write caching applications.
