A Major Step towards Commercial Launch of
Kalray’s Coolidge™-based Cards for Storage Appliances
Kalray (Paris:ALKAL) (Euronext Growth Paris: FR0010722819
– ALKAL), a pioneer in processors for new intelligent systems,
today announced that its K200™ Coolidge™ based smart storage
adapter solution has been certified for NVM ExpressTM over Fabrics
(NVMe-oF) with TCP (NVMe™/TCP) protocol by the NVM Express
organization through the University of New Hampshire
InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent testing
provider of standard conformance solutions and multi-vendor
interoperability.
Data Centers are undergoing a very important revolution with
rapidly evolving network architectures and technologies. This is
mainly due to the explosion of usages, the surge of data to be
processed and the resulting exponential growth of the number of
machines to be managed to support this growth.
Until now, storage has been one major bottleneck of this
expansion. The introduction of flash memory-based SDD (Solid-State
Drive) with hyper-fast communication protocols such as NVMe™/TCP,
offers a breakthrough solutions to the industry to massively scale
up and increase performance of existing data centers. Smart storage
adapters and associated storage appliances (including Ethernet
storage expansion servers called “JBOF”) are at the heart of this
revolution.
Dennis Hahn, Senior Analyst, Cloud & Data Center at
OMDIA stated in his report, Data Center Storage Equipment Market
Tracker: “NVMe-oF JBOF is just starting to experience an uptake in
on-premises enterprise DC segments for its ultra-high performance
and is ramping aggressively for use by hyper converged
infrastructure and in data intensive applications”.
Eric Baissus, President and CEO of Kalray, has declared:
“Certification is a major step in our journey to mass production.
Kalray is on schedule with its strategic roadmap and actively
preparing the commercial deployment of a new type of hyper-fast
storage solution. Together with our partners and customers, we are
actively working to integrate and qualify our technology and
products”.
Based on its 3rd generation MPPA® (Massively Parallel Processor
Array) processor, Kalray’s storage smart adapter solution, targets
the new generations of hyper-fast storage solutions. Whereas
competitive solutions are limited in term of performance, for
example when demanding algorithms such as data protection and
footprint reduction are running, Coolidge™ Intelligent processors
have the capability to run such protocols without degradation of
the server bandwidth, in real time. Kalray’s fully programmable
smart storage adapter delivers high performance while ensuring
offloading of demanding data services. This Coolidge™-based
solution also offers new horizons in term of storage performance,
targeting the booming market of data intensive application such as
AI, Data Analytics or IoT.
Kalray's solution offers both extremely high computing power
capable of processing considerable data volumes while minimizing
energy consumption; as well as on-the-fly heterogenous processing
capabilities. The K200™ smart storage adapter is a standard PCIe
card supporting both NVMe™/TCP and NVMe™/RoCE, with associated
software suite, highly configurable for composability needs, based
on its MPPA® processor implementing leading edge interfaces,
including PCIe Gen4 x16 and 2 x 100G Ethernet. As an example,
coupled with the latest PCIe Gen4 AMD processor MPPA® can be used
as an accelerator delivering a full duplex bandwidth of up to 200
Gbit/s. In addition, K200™ delivers up to 4 MIOPS (Millions of I/O
Operations Per Second).
