Jeff Hughes, CTO at Igneous Systems, reviews the design decisions behind their system architecture, which they call RatioPerfect. They’ve designed a system to help alleviate the I/O bottlenecks and larger fault domains inherent in putting a number of drives behind a single CPU node. After reviewing their design history, they hit upon their current product, a system around an array of nanoservers. Each hard drive in the array has a ARM CPU, so that a failure of any drive or CPU does not bring down anything else in the system. Their RatioPerfect architecture solution is to go 1:1.
