Full release:
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today
announced new Rack-Scale Flash offerings including dual DSSD™ D5™
systems in a single rack for use with market-leading high
performance database applications as well as the new VCE™ VxRack™
1000 Series System with DSSD™. DSSD is a key building block for the
modern data center, not only accelerating the performance of
traditional databases and data warehouses, but also helping
customers address new challenges around high performance real-time
analytics running on a new generation of apps and much larger
working data sets.
Flash storage has always been about performance. However, EMC
has declared 2016 the "Year of All Flash," and has committed to
shipping the majority of all primary storage as all-flash
configurations. This commitment to flash, where EMC already leads
the market, is extended by innovations in Rack-Scale Flash designed
to support both traditional and next-generation applications that
pave the way to the modern data center.
Earlier this year, EMC introduced DSSD D5, a completely new
architecture designed for the most data-intensive applications,
both traditional and next-generation, which require extreme levels
of performance and the lowest possible latency. DSSD D5 reaches new
performance heights, with real-world results that speed
applications such as genetic sequencing calculations, fraud
detection, credit card authorization, and advanced analytics by as
much as 10X.
DSSD D5 delivers extreme speed for customers whose businesses
hinge upon this level of performance. With today's announcement,
EMC is pushing the Rack-Scale Flash envelope even further, by
demonstrating that striping two D5 systems together with high
performance databases in a single rack delivers 2X the IOPS,
bandwidth and capacity; one-third the latency and a lower TCO than
the fastest solution for databases on the market today. With this
capability, customers will now be able to consolidate multiple data
marts, accelerate high performance business intelligence
applications, and impact time to value for many other high
performance analytics applications around risk, security,
intelligence, etc.
EMC also announced today, a new fully-engineered storage,
networking and compute system that provides customers with a single
pre-configured and optimized solution for their high-performance
databases and data warehouses. The VCE VxRack System with DSSD will
combine the unmatched performance of DSSD with VCE's heralded
system availability, reliability, and productivity. This offers
customers an accelerated time-to-value, with faster deployment and
the ability to scale as their needs expand.
Availability
DSSD's support for dual D5 systems with
high performance databases and VxRack System with DSSD will be
available in the second half of 2016. For more information, please
