editor's comments: June 2012 - Nutanix
is in the
SSD ASAP market -
with CPU-SSD
equivalency integrated in the OS.
The company says their
architecture "collapses compute and storage into a single tier." Each
box - which contains some CPU, SSD (Fusion-io) and some
HDD. Their Google-like
democratic architecture connects via an NFS type of connection which is
optimized for SSD. The company calls this NDFS -
Nutanix
Distributed File System. |

In April 2011 -
Nutanix announced that
it has received $13.2 million in Series A funding in a significantly
oversubscribed round. Investors include Lightspeed Venture Partners, which has
made successful investments in companies such as Brocade, Riverbed, and
Fusion-io, and Blumberg Capital, an early-stage venture firm.
In June 2012 -
2012 - Nutanix
announced the general availability of NDFS (Nutanix Distributed File System), a
bold new distributed filesystem that has been optimized to leverage localized
low latency PCIe SSDs
such as those from Fusion-io.

| don't all PCIe SSDs
look pretty much the same? |
When you look at the
photos and headline specs for high speed PCIe SSDs - it's easy to come away with
the impression that they all look the same and have about the same performance.
After
all - how different can they be?
But don't let the experience of the
2.5" SSD market -
in which clusters of consumer SSD vendors use the
same or similar
controllers and hover
close together inpopular
(consumer) performance rankings - give you the wrong idea about
PCIe SSDs.
In
this market the performance limits and capabilities of the SSD aren't set by an
old hard disk interface
and package limitations.
In the PCIe market the products you get are
limited only by the imagination of the designers - tempered by the guesses of
marketers who are trying to predict the optimum (most salable) features for an
ideal SSD. |
