Fusion-io Achieves 1 Million IOPS and 6 GB/s Bandwidth w/ Single PCIe SSD
At Supercomputing 2010, Fusion-io announced that it has once again achieved the highest Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and bandwidth in the industry, demonstrating the companys continued leadership in flash-based, server-attached storage-class memory. The metrics behind these performance achievements are untouched by any other solid-state or traditional disk-based technology on the market today. In addition to providing more than 1 million IOPS of performance, each ioDrive Octal provides 6.2 GB/s of bandwidth and up to 5.7 TB of linear-scaling capacity per PCI-Express slot. This allows applications to process tens of terabytes of data without the latency impact of accessing backing data stores.
Scientists face an overabundance of data in areas such as climatology, cosmology, nanotechnology and defense. Accessing and visualizing these complex data models take an inordinate amount of time, said David Flynn, CEO of Fusion-io. Rapid data access enables researchers to quickly and reliably solve problems, and technologies such as those from Fusion-io allow them to analyze much more data faster than ever before. With todays astounding performance benchmarks, were proud to demonstrate that the speed of our technology directly translates to accelerated workload and data processing. In turn, our customers are tackling previously unattainable workload challenges.
