  1. Removing the I/O Bottleneck withVirident PCIe Solid State Storage Solutions Jan Silverman VP Operations

  2. Why Applications don’t perform?Waiting for data… Moore’sLaw Not so Much Enterprises desperate for Performance Storage Apps on Multi-core, Multi-Socket Servers limited by slow storage Datasets double every 9 – 12 months

  3. Alternative Solutions • Add more DRAM • Not enough Slots • Multicore's eat it up • Power Hungry Memory • Cache too small • Build large Disk Arrays (SAN) • Space and Power Hog • Doesn’t help latency • Custom application tuning • It’s on the List OR

  4. Put Solid-State Storage in the Application Server “Virtual SAN”

  5. tachIOn DriveEnterprise-Class, Performance and Reliability 5 • Steady, Predictable Performance under various workloads • 4x better performance than alternatives • 300,000 random IOPS sustained , mixed read-write, 4K Block Size • Equivalent of 1000 FC HDDs • Performance achieved at full capacity • Enterprise-class Data Reliability • Advanced multi-level error correction • Global wear-leveling • Flash-aware Hardware RAID • Modular Design for Field Serviceability • Flash modules - Stackable, Removable • RAID life cycle for module recovery

  6. PCIe Gen 3 Future • PCIe Cluster with Shared I/O • PCIe Gen 3 • Hot swapping • Peer-to-peer communication • Much lower overhead thanks to a new 128/130-bit encoding scheme • 1.5 percent overhead compared to 20 percent in Gen 2 • Growth in Multi-core CPU chips with rumored PCIe Native Support • Intel – “Ivy Bridge - EX” 10-20 Core Processors in 2012 • AMD – “Terramar” 10-20 Core Processors in 2012 • Major OEMs designing servers with front-loading PCIe slots • Industry standardization around a PCIe SSD Drive form factor

  7. The Pieces are There for PCIe Clusters PCIe Over Cable Adaptors PCIe Ge2 Switches PCIe Copper Cable - 7M PCIe Optical Cable - 100M Shared I/O – Looking for Partners
