An ultra-high throughput and secure storage
appliance, breakthrough solution to massively scale up, increase
performance and optimize costs of existing data centers
Wistron, a leader in ICT (Information and communications
technology) products, and Kalray (Paris:ALKAL) (Euronext
Growth Paris: ALKAL), a leading provider in new generation of
processors specialized in Intelligent Data Processing from Cloud to
Edge, announce the availability of FURIO1200™, a 24-Flash-Drive
NVMe-oF based storage node appliance, integrating Kalray’s NVMe-oF
K200™ smart storage adapter, powered by its MPPA® Coolidge™
intelligent processor, and Wistron LYMMA chassis. FURIO1200™ is a
new type of hyper-fast disaggregated storage solution delivering
ultra-high throughput and reliability. It is the ideal solution for
Cloud Service Providers and Enterprises running applications with
intensive AI and Data Analytics workloads as well as to optimize
their next generation storage.
Data Centers are undergoing a very important revolution due to
the explosion of usages, the surge of data to be processed and the
exponential growth of the number of machines to be managed to
support this growth. Storage is one major bottleneck of the
increasing performance needs in Data Centers, driving the
introduction of flash technology-based drives (“Solid-State Drive”
or SSD) with hyper-fast communication protocols such as NVMe® and
NVMe-oF™.
FURIO1200™, as an NVMe-oF all flash JBOF (“Just Bunch of Flash”)
appliance, offers a breakthrough solution for the industry to
massively scale up and increase performance of existing data
centers. In addition, FURIO1200™ makes disaggregation a reality, by
allowing compute resources to be separated from storage resources
while optimizing performance of the overall system and re-use.
Eric Baissus, President and CEO of Kalray,
has declared: “Together with WISTRON, one of the world’s largest
manufacturers of data center servers, we are very proud of our
contribution to development of the FURIO1200™ solution. We expect
this solution to become a game changer in the industry.”
William Lin, President of Enterprise Business Group of
Wistron Technologies, Wistron Corporation, has declared: “We
are enthused about FURIO1200™ availability. There is a strong need
for more efficient and scalable storage solutions in the market.
It’s the perfect fit for data intensive applications such as AI,
data analytics or IoT, for increasing performance of existing
datacenters as well as addressing the growing markets of hyper
converged infrastructure and on-premises enterprise data
centers.”
Whereas most storage platforms run standard x86 processor,
FURIO1200™ is powered by Kalray MPPA® Coolidge™ Intelligent
Processor. The MPPA® processor has been designed to manage in
parallel a huge flow of data in real time and removes the
traditional bottleneck in running intensive data services such as
data protection on intense workloads. This results in unique
performance improvements and a reduction of the workload on the
servers connected to FURIO1200™, freeing expensive resources for
data center users.
FURIO1200™ will be available for Proof of Concept (PoC) first
quarter of this year, and targets volume production by mid 2021,
first customer trials being planned in the coming weeks.
FURIO1200™ is a 2U chassis using Gen3 PCIe fabric, featuring
comprehensive chassis management with redundant and efficient power
provision and is able to host 24 U.2 NVMe SSDs and multiple PCIe
K200™ Coolidge™- based smart storage adapter solutions. FURIO1200™
delivers more than 12 million IOPS (Input/Output Operations per
second) within a range of 20 to 50us latency and a global
throughput of up to 72GB/s whilst supporting in parallel data
protection services such as Erasure Coding.
FURIO1200™ integrates Kalray K200™ cards running NVMe-oF Kalray
software, which has been certified by the University of New
Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent
testing provider of standard conformance solutions and multi-vendor
interoperability.
One additional specialty of FURIO1200™ is the seamless support
of the NVMe-over Fabric (“NVMe-oF”) over RDMA (“RDMA over Converged
Ethernet” or RoCE) or over TCP protocol standards. This
dual-persona capability brings the flexibility required in evolving
data centers, minimizing investment while maximizing the return and
lifetime of the FURIO1200™-based infrastructure.
In addition, the Intelligent Processors integrated into Kalray
cards are fully programmable and are provided with an open SDK.
This makes FURIO1200™ an evolving, customizable and future proof
solution. New software releases are planned with additional
features such as KVS, in-line security services offloading (e.g.
SSL-TLS or IPSEC), computational storage, and AI analytics as well
cluster storage support.
