Award-winning ULLtraDIMM SSD to be Shipped in
Super Micro Computer, Inc.’s Green Computing Server and Storage
Solutions
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash
storage solutions, and Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI),
today announced that the SanDisk ULLtraDIMM™ solid state drive
(SSD), the industry’s first enterprise-class, ultra-low latency,
memory-channel connected storage solution, will begin shipping in
Supermicro’s Green SuperServer® and SuperStorage platforms. Adding
flash storage on the memory bus provides Supermicro® with a
powerful solution to help customers address growing data center
application performance requirements without a significant
infrastructure investment.

“The ULLtraDIMM SSD was designed to expand the reach of 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 Supermicro in
offering this innovative, ultra-low latency storage solution to
help their customers accelerate the performance of their cloud,
virtualization, HPC and other applications and experience the
benefits of a flash-transformed data center.”
According to IDC, by 2015 big data workloads will be one of the
fastest-growing contributors to storage in the cloud1. With data
being generated, processed and stored at unprecedented levels, and
IT pressured to accelerate performance and deliver real-time access
to information, enterprises are increasingly turning to
flash-based, low-latency storage solutions.
Eric Burgener, research director for IDC’s storage practice,
said: “Memory channel storage options like SanDisk’s ULLtraDIMM
consistently deliver lower storage latencies than data center SAN
solutions can. There are a number of different application
environments, including database, VDI, and mixed virtual workloads,
that can directly benefit from these types of lower latencies, and
more and more organizations are deploying them. With this design
win under its belt, it’s clear that SanDisk’s partners are seeing a
good market opportunity for these types of host-based storage
solutions.”
Supermicro tested the 200GB and 400GB* capacities of the
ULLtraDIMM SSD under a variety of enterprise workloads and end-user
scenarios. The benchmarks showed that the ULLtraDIMM SSD provides
the lowest latency storage option available today.
“Supermicro leads the industry with the widest range of
innovative, high performance, green computing solutions and
delivers the lowest latency server and storage platforms on the
market with SanDisk’s ULLtraDIMM technology,” said Wally Liaw, Sr.
Vice President of Sales at Supermicro. “With complete in-memory
compute optimized solutions, we offer the most cost-effective path
to scalable, ultra-low latency performance for mission-critical,
data-intensive workloads in data center, cloud, enterprise,
virtualization, financial Services and HPC applications.”
The award-winning ULLtraDIMM SSD can be integrated into an
existing DIMM slot, which removes the performance bottleneck from
the storage subsystem2. This ensures ultra-low latency in business
applications and results in improved application response times.
Additionally, adding ULLtraDIMM SSDs to systems can scale
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.
The ULLtraDIMM SSD, which was developed in partnership with
Diablo Technologies, is expected to begin shipping in Supermicro’s
SuperServer and SuperStorage platforms in Q4 2014. For more
