SanDisk has outed a new range of ioDrive PCIe and
mezzanine flash cards that cut down on costs whilst
maintaining the same performance that server customers
have come to expect.
The third-generation Fusion ioMemory PCIe app
accelarators can deliver a four-fold price performance
increase and have a 61% lower list price compared to the
Fusion ioDrive 2 product of before.
SanDisk's new portfolio is headed by the brand new SX350
and refreshed SX300, both of which range in capacity from
1.25TB to as much as 6.4TB. The new memory uses
SanDisk NAND flash chips instead of the Micron chips for
the first time. SanDisk explained the flash cards are
designed for mixed-use workloads including virtualisation,
databases, business intelligence and real-time financial data
processing.
The SX300 and SX350 are also suitable for read-intensive
workloads such as web hosting, data mining, content
caching, CAD/CAM and 3D animation. Both offer twice the
random read/write I/O performance of the previous version
and the SX350 goes further by bringing the aforementioned
four-fold price to performance saving.
For an even higher level of performance there is the PX600
that ranges in size from 1TB and 5.2TB for a PCIe card
designed for server virtualisation, databases, business
intelligence and real-time financial data processing. With up
to 385K random write IOPS, an ultra-low 15 microsecond
write latency and twice as much bandwidth as the previous
version; it's a significant update.
The new Mezzanine series is designed for HP Gen9 and
Gen8 BladeSystem Services plus the very latest Cisco UCS
B-Series Blade Servers and is created to deliver a higher
level of performance and density in virtualisation
environments that hard disks cannot provide.
Finally, the FlashSoft Bundles offer organisations the chance
to benefit from Fusion ioMemory flash hardware and
caching software in one solution that is easy to evaluate,
deploy and support.
7,000+ happy customers
A shade over 150,000 Fusion ioMemory PCIe application
accelerators have been rolled out to upwards of 7,000
customers worldwide including ObjectRocket by Rackspace,
Pandora, various universities and DataLogix.
