AppliedMicro Announces X-Gene® Technology Now Available in HPE StoreVirtual 3200
August 15 2016 - 9:15AM
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ:AMCC), a global leader
in computing and connectivity solutions, today announced that
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has incorporated AppliedMicro’s
X-Gene® technology in its new HPE StoreVirtual 3200 virtualized
infrastructure solution.
The HPE StoreVirtual 3200 is bringing enterprise storage data
services to the entry space with a modern architecture that
eliminates technology dead ends. This next generation entry storage
array starts at $6K and features a new dual-controller,
high-availability platform with 64-bit ARM AppliedMicro X-Gene
controllers, and comes with either 25 hot pluggable SFF drive bays
or 12 hot pluggable LFF drive bays. Building on this innovative
hardware foundation, the solution uses the proven StoreVirtual OS
which has been deployed over 200,000 times with five-nines
availability.
“This latest collaboration with HPE to deliver a flexible and
reliable storage platform featuring high availability underscores
the continued growth of X-Gene-based platforms in the enterprise,”
said Kumar Sankaran, associate vice president of software and
platform engineering, AppliedMicro. “The AppliedMicro X-Gene device
is a perfect fit for the HPE StoreVirtual 3200 storage server as it
provides excellent storage performance and lowers the overall total
cost of ownership. We’re excited to continue our partnership with
the worldwide leader in storage.”
The storage system features integrated 10GbE networking and an
additional 10/100 management Ethernet. For added flexibility, the
solution can scale-up with the addition of drives to an existing
enclosure or by adding more drive enclosures. Additional system
level features include fiber channel SAN with a switched fabric,
RAID for data protection and rich data services including
snapshots, automated sub-lun tiering software and replication
capabilities. The system also provides a web based management
interface.
HPE chose AppliedMicro’s X-Gene 64-bit Server on a Chip®
Solution because it provides a powerful computing engine combined
with multiple integrated 10GbE and 1GbE networking and multiple
PCIE Gen 3 lanes for storage expansion, all in one single socket.
This obviates the need for external additional networking and IO
components on the board, reducing the overall power and cost of the
platform and ultimately providing total cost of ownership (TCO)
savings to end customers.
“Customers of all sizes are looking to get more value from
storage investments,” said Vish Mulchand, senior director, product
management and marketing, storage, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “By
driving down costs with new hardware innovation we can bring
StoreVirtual enterprise-class capabilities to an entirely new
segment at an extremely aggressive price.”
