Seagate Nytro PCIe Flash Helps QingCloud to
Deliver Increased Infrastructure-as-a-Service Performance
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, has announced that its Nytro® family of PCIe-based flash
acceleration cards —the XP6209—has been selected by China’s
foremost Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider QingCloud to
enhance the performance and capabilities of its cutting-edge cloud
service. QingCloud delivers a safe, reliable, on-demand and
real-time IT resource delivery platform to enterprise users.
QingCloud’s enterprise clients demand increasingly higher levels
of computing performance and lower latency, which traditional
low-profile server systems struggle to meet. Nytro flash cards are
designed to deliver high performance, reduced latency and a low CPU
burden for the most demanding database applications and
I/O-intensive workloads.
“QingCloud focuses on leading-edge technologies in the cloud
computing industry, and provides cloud computing infrastructure
solutions with high efficiency and performance, lower cost and
warranty of business continuity and security for customers,” said
Reno Gan, co-founder & vice president of R&D, QingCloud.
“Seagate’s Nytro solution offers us a significantly improved system
response time and lower total cost of ownership, enabling QingCloud
to help more enterprise users enhance their IT
system resource utilization and provide cloud services
with better safety, convenience, stability and quality.”
QingCloud found that Seagate Nytro cards’ response time
performance was significantly better when compared to other PCIe
products, effectively improving stability and performance needed by
cloud applications while lowering costs. The comprehensive Nytro
product portfolio of flash accelerator cards combines PCIe flash
technology with intelligent management software.
“At present, per GB costs of PCIe-based flash memory are rather
high, which prevents most companies from using PCIe-based flash
products. Seagate’s Nytro product portfolio combines the high
performance and low total owner cost of PCIe-based flash,
overcoming this challenge,” said Thad Omura, vice president of
Product & Customer Management, Flash Products, Seagate. “We are
excited that QingCloud has selected our Nytro product to help
further consolidate its position as a leading basic cloud service
provider in China and provide customers with an optimized storage
platform and relevant cloud infrastructure services.”
Figures from market research firm IDC indicate a potential 30
percent growth annually in both private and public clouds in China
over the next several years, generating higher services levels for
cloud providers specializing in IaaS.
Enterprises utilizing the QingCloud platform require high
performance and large capacity flash cards. Designed to address the
pain points from cloud providers for both high performance and high
capacity, the Seagate Nytro PCIe flash accelerator cards deliver
low-profile and thermally optimized hyper-converged designs to meet
customers' needs for increased capacity density.
