Software Defined Storage

As application workloads increase and computing needs become more demanding, the processing power needed at the storage layer also increases. To meet these demands, a flexible processing platform is needed that can effectively scale for all types of workloads, from the edge to the cloud.

The Arm-based Ampere® Altra® Family of processors are changing conventional thinking about accelerating storage workloads. The Ampere® Altra® (80 cores) and Ampere® Altra® Max (128 cores) AArch64 processors are complete system-on-chip (SOC) solutions built for large scale, high performance storage. In addition to incorporating many high-performance cores, Ampere’s innovative architecture delivers predictable high performance, linear scaling, and high energy efficiency. More importantly, the high IO bandwidth provides direct connections to multiple PCIe devices like NVMe and SSD drives, which are essential for heavy workload applications of all sizes from edge to the cloud.

  • Storage Performance: From basic FIO performance at the edge, to advanced unified storage solutions that provide object, block, and file interfaces through a cluster constructed from commodity hardware components such as Ceph, LINSTOR, MinIO

  • LINSTOR: An open source software-defined storage (SDS) management solution developed by LINBIT. With LINSTOR managing DRBD-backed storage, you can create a full-featured and production-ready solutions to high-availability at a large and disaster recovery problems.

  • Ceph: An open-source software-defined storage solution designed to address the block, file and object storage needs of modern enterprises. Its highly scalable architecture and being adopted as the new norm for high-growth block storage, object stores.

  • Object Storage MinIO: Available on every public cloud, every Kubernetes distribution (Kubernetes-Native), the private cloud and the edge.
