AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cavium, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that
enable intelligent processing for enterprise, data center, cloud,
wired and wireless networking, and Wistron, a leading ODM for
various ICT products, including enterprise and cloud datacenter
server and storage platforms optimized for datacenter and cloud
environments, today announced development of workload-optimized
server platforms based on Cavium's 64-bit ARMv8 ThunderX product
family.
Wistron is a recognized leader in designing and manufacturing
high-performance and highly-scalable compute and storage platforms
for datacenters worldwide. Wistron supports the top companies
in datacenter computing, who expect flexible and robust designs
that reduce TCO while delivering higher performance for their
workloads. Wistron's first ThunderX-based server is the
WV-H7202-10 Hyper- converged system, a 2U platform with two
dual-socket server nodes, and support for up to 1TB of DDR4 2400Mhz
memory per node, and 8 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x 4 or SATA 2.5" SSD per
chassis. This platform is optimized for workloads such as
Hadoop, cloud, and other workloads requiring a balance of high
computing performance with large storage capacity. Wistron
will also deliver the WV-S7224-10, a 2U storage server and
WV-A7424-10, a 4U 2 node storage array.
The ThunderX product family is Cavium's 64-bit ARMv8-A server
processor for next generation Data Center and Cloud applications,
that features high performance custom cores, single and dual socket
configurations, high memory bandwidth and large memory capacity.
The product family also includes integrated hardware accelerators,
integrated feature rich high bandwidth network and storage IO,
fully virtualized core and IO, and scalable high bandwidth, low
latency Ethernet fabric, which affords ThunderX best-in-class
performance per dollar and watt. They are fully compliant with
ARMv8-A architecture specifications as well as ARM's SBSA and SBBR
standards, and widely supported by industry leading OS, Hypervisor
and Software tool and application vendors.
"Our success is built on delivering platforms that provide
competitive advantage. Our customers continue to demand
platform innovation that reduces TCO and increases workload
performance, said Spark Chen, Director of Product Management,
Enterprise Storage Division, Wistron. "The new
Hyper-converged system platform is optimized for key growing
workloads such as Hadoop and high performance data analytics, and
will allow our customers to meet growing performance demands within
their existing infrastructure."
"Our design approach for the ThunderX product family continues
to prove itself," said Gopal Hegde,
VP/GM DPG, Cavium. "We delivered ThunderX ARMv8 SOCs with up
to 48-cores, large memory bandwidth and integrated HW accelerators
and Ethernet fabric, designed for optimal performance and TCO for
workloads including Ceph, cloud, big data and large-scale
web. These new Wistron systems use ThunderX CPUs to full
advantage, and will deliver optimized workload performance and
outstanding TCO."
Availability
Wistron WV-H7202-10 ThunderX-based Hyper-converged system are
expected to begin sampling by the end of this year, and will be
available in 2Q16.
