November 2008) |
The Violin 1010 is the industry's first Memory Appliance, based
on the patent-pending
Violin
Switched Memory (VXM) technology. It's capable of supporting both Scalable
Memory (DRAM) or High Performance Storage (NAND Flash) or a mixture of the two.
The Violin 1010 has been designed to provide cost-effective memory
redundancy and protect against data loss. Its RAID algorithms store data
redundantly across multiple VIMMs. The fully loaded system contains up to 4 hot
spare VIMMs and supports non-disruptive replacement of VIMMs. Multiple VIMMs in
the system can fail without the application losing any data.
The Violin
1010 provides significant benefits to
applications with
requirements for low latency or small file sizes. Video server applications
benefit from the ability to have the same video simultaneously read by thousands
of clients, without disk thrashing.
Interface options include:- PCIe,
Fibre Channel and Ethernet.
DRAM
version
Designed for HPC and data center applications, the
aggressively priced Violin 1010 connects via PCIe and supports 504GB of DRAM in
a 2U chassis. Capacity can scale to 10 terabytes. Read write throughput is upto
1,700MB/s and 1,000MB/s respectively with 3 microseconds latency. A single 2U
Violin 1010 can deliver over 3 million random IOPS.
SLC Flash SSD version
This
provides 4TB SLC flash SSD capacity in 2U.
Its patent pending
non blocking architecture delivers very fast performance - 200K random or
sequential sustained write IOPS. 300K random or sequential read IOPS.
Due
to its superior garbage collection - this performance does not degrade
significantly with use (unlike the case with most other flash SSDs). Latency:
is 70-300 microseconds
