STEC Introduces the Industry's Highest Endurance MLC Flash-Based Enterprise SSD and Delivers Technical Presentations at Serve...
November 29 2011 - 9:25AM
Server Design Summit 2011 -- STEC, Inc.
(Nasdaq:STEC), The SSD Company™, a leading global provider of
solid-state drive (SSD) technologies and products, today announced
that its flagship ZeusIOPS® SSD family has been expanded with the
debut of its ZeusIOPS XE (Extreme Endurance) SSD -- an ultra-high
endurance Multi-Level Cell (MLC) solid-state drive that enables at
least 30 full capacity writes per day, every day, for five years.
The new ZeusIOPS XE SSD is purpose-built for write-intensive
applications and utilizes STEC's leading-edge CellCare™ technology
to deliver at least three times more endurance when compared to a
standard MLC-based ZeusIOPS SSD. Since these drives can withstand
more writes, they reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) in the data
center. The new ZeusIOPS XE SSD, announced earlier today in a
separate announcement, will be featured in STEC's booth (#107)
beginning today at Server Design Summit (Santa Clara Marriott
Hotel).
Booth Demonstrations:
STEC will present two product demonstrations at Server Design
Summit.
- The first demonstration simulates a real-world Oracle database
environment and showcases STEC's PCI Express (PCIe) Solid-State
Accelerator (SSA) performing server application acceleration for a
typical OnLine Transaction Processing (OLTP) workload. STEC SSAs
uniquely integrate advanced flash technologies into a compact,
power-efficient PCIe-based solution. It is managed by a
purpose-built SSD controller with native PCIe that provides a
direct, low-latency path between the user application and flash.
These SSAs reside on the PCIe bus, next to the CPU, to address
urgent and critical functions without taxing host CPU or memory
resources.
- The second demonstration showcases accelerated server-side
caching in write-intensive environments featuring STEC's EnhanceIO™
SSD Cache Software and its new ZeusIOPS XE SSD. EnhanceIO SSD Cache
Software is designed to accelerate application performance and
access to data, and enables server scalability to support the
growing number of users and data volumes in the enterprise. This
EnhanceIO SSD Cache Software demo uses STEC's ZeusIOPS XE SSD as a
performance cache drive located in front of high capacity hard disk
drives (HDDs) to show how the full performance, reliability and
endurance benefits of SSDs can be optimized.
Technical Presentations:
As part of STEC's participation at Server Design Summit, its
product teams will deliver the following presentations:
- Session 2-102 (Performance Track): "Storage Level Caching -
Déjà vu All Over Again," presented by Doug Finke, STEC Senior
Director of Product Marketing Overview: this session
will present the current trends of using SSDs for
adding new levels of storage caching hierarchy to increase
performance, and compares it to how the transition occurred with
volatile main memory in years past.
- Session 2-201 (Performance Track): "SSDs for Server Application
Acceleration: Doing More with Less," presented by Sean Stead, STEC
Product Marketing Manager Overview: this session will
present the latest innovations in the design and
development of SSDs and associated software to make servers more
efficient. Whether it's hosting more users or more virtual machines
per server, this session goes beyond 'feeds and speeds' to explore
how SSDs can make next-generation servers do more with
less.
- Session 3-301 (Cloud Track): "Optimizing Cloud Servers for Cost
and Performance," presented by Sunil Daryanani, STEC Director of
Product Management Overview: Enterprise servers need to
accelerate IO for application performance and server
virtualization. This session will present new
conceptual solutions in re-addressing the architecture of
server-based storage, and will highlight design techniques to
enable the cost-effective scalability necessary to support data
growth in the cloud and how best to utilize cloud servers to obtain
attractive price/performance ratios.
Chairperson's Welcome:
