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
