  • Fast Network Connectivity Key to Unlocking All-Flash Array Performance
    Fast Network Connectivity Key to Unlocking All-flash Array Performance The current generation of all-flash arrays offers enough performance to saturate the network connections between the arrays and application servers in the data center. In many scenarios, the key limiter to all-flash array performance is storage network bandwidth. Therefore, all-flash array vendors have been quick to adopt the latest advances in storage network connectivity. Fast Networks are Here, and Faster Networks are Coming Ethernet is now available with connection speeds up to 400 Gb per second. Fibre Channel now reaches speeds up to 128 Gb per second. As discussed during a recent SNIA presentation, the roadmaps for both technologies forecast another 2x to 4x increase in performance. While the fastest connections are generally used to create a storage network fabric among data center switches, many all- flash arrays support fast storage network connectivity. All-flash Arrays Embrace Fast Network Connectivity DCIG’s research into all-flash arrays identified thirty-seven (37) models that support 32 Gb FC, seventeen (17) that support 100 Gb Ethernet, and ten (10) that support 100 Gb InfiniBand connectivity. These include products from Dell EMC, FUJITSU Storage, Hitachi Vantara, Huawei, Kaminario, NEC Storage, NetApp, Nimbus Data, Pure Storage and Storbyte. Source: DCIG Other Drivers of Fast Network Connectivity Although all-flash storage is a key driver behind fast network connectivity, there are also several other significant drivers. Each of these has implications

  • Demartek SSD Deployment Guide 2012-Q2
    Demartek April 2012 Demartek SSD Deployment Guide 2012-Q2 Overview Solid state storage is transforming the entire computing industry. Solid state storage has completely revolutionized consumer electronics products, replacing spinning disk drives in virtually every category of consumer devices. This same enthusiasm for solid state storage has moved into the data center. Because of this interest, Demartek has produced this Demartek SSD Deployment Guide 2012-Q2, one in a series of technology deployment guides. This guide can be found on our website in our SSD Zone or by searching the Internet for “Demartek SSD Deployment Guide” using any well-known Internet search engine. Audience This guide is designed for managers and technical professionals within IT departments who are exploring the possible benefits of SSD technology or who are looking for actual deployment examples of SSD storage solutions. Objectives of this Guide The Demartek SSD Deployment Guide is designed to provide basic information about SSDs and practical guidance for planning and deploying SSD technology and products. This is primarily a technical document, including information about the types of solid state media that are available, form factors, deployment examples, and more. This guide is intended to be used as a reference and is divided into sections including SSD technology areas, and specific vendor products. There are screen shots and information from actual deployments of these products. The work was performed in the Demartek lab in Arvada, Colorado, USA. About Demartek Demartek has its own lab, and the vast majority of the research work we do involves running hardware and software solutions in our lab with our staff.
