USI Launches PCIe Gen.4 2U24 Highly Scalable All-flash Array Product for High-performance Storage Market
(2021–03–18) In the past few years, the accelerated development of big data and artificial intelligence, has resulted in the increase in massive data processing, high-speed access throughput and other enterprise applications, generating enormous demand for high-performance storage products. For example, an industry-leading systems supplier, USI was profoundly concentrated on the research and development of storage array products. After the successful launch of SAS storage arrays, the company is currently offering the all-flash array product utilizing the PCIe Gen.4 technology.
USI’s all-flash array product is designed to achieve low latency and high performance that boost storage capability. Its attributes include an energy-saving compact 2U enclosure, 24 2.5-inch U.2 drive positions, NVMe dual channels and managed/unmanaged hot-plugging support. It also supports dual node hot-pluggable I/O control cards, with a 32 lane PCIe Gen4.0 interface in each node. Additionally, it has a 1,300W hot-pluggable redundant power supply, a 3.5-inch LCD display allowing on-site management, a BMC remote management interface, a gigabit Ethernet interface and configurable external port modules.
USI’s all-flash array product can reach performances of 128K sequential read/32 queue depth of 26.4GBps, 128K sequential write/32 queue depth of 15.1GBps, 4K random read/32 queue depth of 2.48M IOPS along with 4K random write/32 queue depth of 1.82M IOPS on 20 SSD drive positions through a single X16 PCIe port.
USI’s all-flash array’s open software architecture is conducive to customers’ system integration and subsequent development in dynamic configuration and SSD partitioning and combination adjustments in line with this PCIe topology.
“To fulfil the potential demand for more varied data transmission specifications in the near future, the configurable external interface modules can consist of NVMe-oF expansion cards,” states Daimon Lee, AVP of Data Network & Storage BU of USI. “In essence, NVMe-oF may be utilized as the channel connecting the storage array together with the front-end server host in various data centers, which makes it easier for customers to design the framework for both future and existing scale-out storage systems,” he continues.
In a data economy driven by the proliferation of e-commerce and we-media platforms, retail, logistics, financial and gaming industries, USI’s storage solutions are tailored to encourage rapid data analysis, real-time responses via hot data nodes, multimedia streaming, content distribution, big data cloud storage, database applications in addition to power and space considerations.
