Award-winning SanDisk ULLtraDIMM SSD to Ship in
Huawei’s RH8100 V3 Servers
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), a global leader in flash
storage solutions, today announced that its award-winning
ULLtraDIMM™ Solid State Drive (SSD), has been selected by Huawei
Technologies Co. Ltd for inclusion in its RH8100 V3 servers. Huawei
selected the ULLtraDIMM SSD after extensive testing under a variety
of enterprise workloads and end-user scenarios using the RH8100 V3
server, which demonstrated the ULLtraDIMM SSD achieved the
industry’s lowest write latency at less than five microseconds and
offered bandwidth that topped that of any other SSD solution.
Adding flash-based storage to the DDR memory bus with direct
connection to the processor allows Huawei to deliver a powerful
solution to help customers address growing data center application
performance requirements without significant additional
infrastructure investments.
“The ULLtraDIMM SSD was designed to expand the reach of
ultra-low latency flash storage throughout the data center and
scale to meet the requirements of any enterprise application, no
matter how bandwidth or capacity intensive,” said John Scaramuzzo,
senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Storage
Solutions at SanDisk. “We are very excited to partner with Huawei
to offer this innovative, ultra-low latency storage solution, which
will accelerate the performance of its customers’ cloud,
virtualization, OLTP, HPC and other applications, and help them
experience the benefits of a flash-transformed data center.”
Huawei is committed to delivering complete SSD solutions that
combine the power of the ULLtraDIMM with Huawei’s self-developed
caching software in order to accelerate application performance
with the lowest possible latency, while offering the scalability to
handle bandwidth-intensive database and virtualization
applications. With the ULLtraDIMM SSD, Huawei’s RH8100 V3 servers
can deliver random write IOPS improved by more than 100 percent in
a 4 x 400G RAID0 configuration, which provides more than four times
the number of IOPS per server. Huawei will also look to offer the
ULLtraDIMM SSD as part of the Huawei Cache solution for key
database and virtualization deployments.
“We are eager to leverage the ULLtraDIMM in our new RH8100
servers in order to provide our customers with solutions that help
maximize their performance per watt, per square foot with
innovations in power savings and cooling, as well as increased
compute and storage density,” said Qiu Long, President of Server
Business, IT Product Line, Huawei. “With the ULLtraDIMM, we can
deliver complete solutions that offer a cost-effective path to
scalable, ultra-low latency performance for database and
virtualization applications.”
Enterprise data volumes have already broken through traditional
storage barriers and, based on IDC statistics, by 2020 global data
volumes are expected to reach 44 zetabytes. The growth of these
business functions coupled with end-users’ demand for instant
access to information are spurring the need for a revolution in how
chief information officers (CIOs) leverage storage to manage
requirements while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
“Having the ability to accelerate applications and reduce
latency will have tremendous value in Huawei’s enterprise strategy.
Our 2014 market research indicated that Huawei’s servers have been
ranked as the top server choice for cloud and mobility in China. By
leveraging SanDisk’s ULLtraDIMM in its RH8100 V3 servers, Huawei
will strengthen its technology portfolio and value in the
enterprise market sector,” said Linsey Yang, Analyst of
Sino-Bridges Research and Consulting Ltd., a leading Chinese
research firm.
The addition of flash technology on the DRAM memory channel
expands the growing penetration of flash storage technology in
enterprise data centers, and complements SanDisk’s existing
flash-based server hardware and software storage solutions.
Utilizing flash on the memory bus ensures ultra-low latency in
business applications and results in improved application response
times. Additional ULLtraDIMM SSDs can also be added to available
DIMM slots, scaling performance and capacity without impacting
latency. This creates new opportunities for server system designs
to support use cases that require extremely fast storage, such as
VDI, transaction processing, virtualization and cloud
computing.
SanDisk will be showcasing the ULLtraDIMM SSD, which was
developed in partnership with Diablo Technologies, in booth number
5003 at the Huawei Cloud Congress (HCC), one of the world’s leading
technology events, taking place at the Shanghai Expo Center,
September 16-17, 2014. For additional information about SanDisk’s
