Demartek recently tested the Nimbus S-Class, and Tom Isakovich discusses the results. The device reached line-rate over QDR InfiniBand (8 GB/s uncached reads, 2.3 GB/s writes). Demartek also validated VMware VAAI and SSD compatibility under vSphere 5.

Tom then hits some discussion points:

  • Unified flash storage
  • Tier-0 vs. tier-1
  • PCIe vs. array storage
  • Deduplication
  • Hybrid vs. dedicated all-flash
  • Scale-up vs. scale-out
  • Memory Area Networks with InfiniBand or 40 GbE
