ScaleFlux™ Computational Storage Elevates Application Performance with Atomic Write and Namespace Streams
ScaleFlux, Inc., the pioneer in deploying Computational Storage at
scale, announced today new features in its CSS 1000 product line: Atomic
Write and Namespace Streams. ScaleFlux will highlight these product
updates at OCP (News - Alert) Global Summit San Jose, the premier data infrastructure
conference, on March 14-15. These features are available to existing
customers (via a downloadable package) and to new customers. Both Atomic
Write and Namespace Streams enable performance and endurance benefits
for data-intensive workloads.
Atomic write (AW) is the ability to guarantee a single write of blocks
up to 1MB in size. For database applications, this assures each Database
record update is written in its entirety in a single transaction rather
than breaking up the write into multiple transactions. This bypasses the
traditionally used Double Write Buffer and increases drive endurance as
a result of reducing total write operations. AW preserves existing
benefits such as recovering data in the event of a crash and increases
transactions per second for write-intensive workloads.
Namespace Streams (NS) greatly improves Flash storage I/O performance,
latency and endurance by minimizing unnecessary garbage collection. NS
allows customers to create separate Streams of logically-associated data
with different life cycles by simply associating each Stream with a
Namespace. For example, log updates, files, and transaction records
could each be a Stream. CSS (News - Alert) then places the data from a given Stream
together on physically-associated region of Flash, each with its own set
of garbage collection units and its own tunable overprovisioning. This
yields lower overall latency and write mplification.
"Large scale data centers are now demanding hardware-based application
acceleration faster than their infrastructure refresh cycles," said
Iqbal Bhalwani, VP of Global Sales for ScaleFlux. "Our agile FPGA-based
approach allows for tunable performance and deployment of new features
to existing production clusters through simple, in-system updates,
extending the value of customers' Computational Storage infrastructure
well beyond traditional lifecycles."
ScaleFlux CSS 1000 Series drives are in volume deployment worldwide
among hyperscale, webscale, and enterprise customers across diverse use
cases such as fraud detection, mobile payments, AI, gaming, and media
delivery. ScaleFlux aims to bring the performance acceleration of
Computational Storage to an ever-expanding set of data-driven
applications that are increasingly both compute and storage I/O bound.
SCALEFLUX WILL BE AT OCP GLOBAL SUMMIT 2019
In a nod to Computational Storage's increasing traction in the storage
industry as a whole, Open Compute Project will host a panel devoted to
the technology at its Global Summit held in San Jose. Thad Omura, EVP
Marketing of ScaleFlux, will join representatives from six fellow
companies to discuss the present state and future development of
Computational Storage. The panel will be held on Friday, March 15th,
at 4pm in hall 212 AB.
ScaleFlux will additionally be present in SNIA's booth #A22. The
industry standardization authority has made it a priority this year to
feature the new Technical Work Group for Computational Storage, for
which ScaleFlux is a founding member. ScaleFlux has a private meeting
room for face to face discussion with customers, analysts, and partners,
and press. (email [email protected]
