MILPITAS, Calif. & SHANGHAI -- (Business Wire)
SanDisk
Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK),
a global leader in flash storage solutions, today announced that its
award-winning ULLtraDIMM™
Solid State Drive (SSD), has been selected by Huawei Technologies Co.
Ltd for inclusion in its RH8100 V3servers.Huawei
selected the ULLtraDIMM SSD after extensive testing under a variety of
enterprise workloads and end-user scenarios using the RH8100 V3 server,
which demonstrated the ULLtraDIMM SSD achieved the industry’s lowest
write latency at less than five microseconds and offered bandwidth that
topped that of any other SSD solution. Adding flash-based storage to the
DDR memory bus with direct connection to the processor allows Huawei to
deliver a powerful solution to help customers address growing data
center application performance requirements without significant
additional infrastructure investments.
“The ULLtraDIMM SSD was designed to expand the reach of ultra-low
latency flash storage throughout the data center and scale to meet the
requirements of any enterprise application, no matter how bandwidth or
capacity intensive,” said John Scaramuzzo, senior vice president and
general manager, Enterprise Storage Solutions at SanDisk. “We are very
excited to partner with Huawei to offer this innovative, ultra-low
latency storage solution, which will accelerate the performance of its
customers’ cloud, virtualization, OLTP, HPC and other applications, and
help them experience the benefits of a flash-transformed data center.”
Huawei is committed to delivering complete SSD solutions that combine
the power of the ULLtraDIMM with Huawei’s self-developed caching
software in order to accelerate application performance with the lowest
possible latency, while offering the scalability to handle
bandwidth-intensive database and virtualization applications. With the
ULLtraDIMM SSD, Huawei’s RH8100 V3 servers can deliver random write IOPS
improved by more than 100 percent in a 4 x 400G RAID0 configuration,
which provides more than four times the number of IOPS per server.
Huawei will also look to offer the ULLtraDIMM SSD as part of the Huawei
Cache solution for key database and virtualization deployments.
“We are eager to leverage the ULLtraDIMM in our new RH8100 servers in
order to provide our customers with solutions that help maximize their
performance per watt, per square foot with innovations in power savings
and cooling, as well as increased compute and storage density,” said Qiu
Long, President of Server Business, IT Product Line, Huawei. “With the
ULLtraDIMM, we can deliver complete solutions that offer a
cost-effective path to scalable, ultra-low latency performance for
database and virtualization applications.”
Enterprise data volumes have already broken through traditional storage
barriers and, based on IDC statistics, by 2020 global data volumes are
expected to reach 44 zetabytes. The growth of these business functions
coupled with end-users’ demand for instant access to information are
spurring the need for a revolution in how chief information officers
(CIOs) leverage storage to manage requirements while reducing total cost
of ownership (TCO).
“Having the ability to accelerate applications and reduce latency will
have tremendous value in Huawei’s enterprise strategy. Our 2014 market
research indicated that Huawei’s servers have been ranked as the top
server choice for cloud and mobility in China. By leveraging SanDisk’s
ULLtraDIMM in its RH8100 V3servers, Huawei will strengthen its
technology portfolio and value in the enterprise market sector,” said
Linsey Yang, Analyst of Sino-Bridges Research and Consulting Ltd., a
leading Chinese research firm.
The addition of flash technology on the DRAM memory channel expands the
growing penetration of flash storage technology in enterprise data
centers, and complements SanDisk’s existing flash-based server hardware
and software storage solutions. Utilizing flash on the memory bus
ensures ultra-low latency in business applications and results in
improved application response times. Additional ULLtraDIMM SSDs can also
be added to available DIMM slots, scaling performance and capacity
without impacting latency. This creates new opportunities for server
system designs to support use cases that require extremely fast storage,
such as VDI, transaction processing, virtualization and cloud computing.
SanDisk will be showcasing the ULLtraDIMM SSD, which was developed in
partnership with Diablo Technologies, in booth number 5003 at the Huawei
Cloud Congress (HCC), one of the world’s leading technology events,
taking place at the Shanghai Expo Center, September 16-17, 2014. For
