FRANKFURT, Germany,
July 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Cavium, Inc., (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of
semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for
enterprise, data center, cloud, wired and wireless networking,
today announced support for SanDisk flash memory solutions
with Cavium's 64-bit ThunderX processor family, to accelerate
the performance of Hyperscale and HPC workloads.
"Our ARMv8 ThunderX processors deliver best-in-class performance
for high-intensity workloads such as HPC, big data, and large-scale
web applications. With up to 48 high-performance cores and
integrated accelerators, we help drive faster results and reduced
TCO," said Steve Cumings, Director,
Market Development, Cavium. "SanDisk is a leader in flash
technology and we look forward to working with them to deliver
best-in-class solutions."
SanDisk delivers innovative datacenter storage solutions ranging
from Solid State Drives (SSDs) to PCIe application accelerators and
storage systems. These solutions accelerate performance of
servers and storage arrays supporting cloud, big data and database
workloads, and market research data shows that flash technology is
being rapidly adopted across all computing tiers. Each
solution enables faster processing – and faster time-to-results –
as customers seek to address the gap between increasing processor
speeds and slow-moving hard disk drive (HDD) storage.
"SanDisk delivers Flash-based storage solutions that accelerate
workload performance for our customers and we see Cavium taking a
similar CPU design approach for HPC and other demanding workloads,"
said John Scaramuzzo, senior vice
president and general manager, Enterprise Solutions, SanDisk.
"As datacenter workloads, compute and storage requirements continue
to grow, so too will the demand for flash based storage
acceleration. We intend to work with and enable innovators like
Cavium to address these needs."
The ThunderX product family provides best-in-class 64-bit ARMv8
data center and cloud processors, offering an unprecedented level
of integration and industry leading SoC performance. With high
performance custom cores, single and dual socket configurations,
very high memory bandwidth, and integrated hardware accelerators,
this family of processors delivers best-in-class performance per
dollar and performance per watt. The ThunderX family includes
multiple SKUs that are board-compatible, enabling servers optimized
for compute, storage, network and security.
