Josh Price, Hardware Architect, details the Nebulon Services Processing Unit. The SPU replaces the RAID card of FC HBA in the application server, connecting server SSDs and presenting local or shared volumes. A group of SPU-equipped servers is called an nPod by Nebulon, scaling out to 32 servers. The SPU includes all the attributes of an enterprise all-flash array: a high-performance 8-core CPU and 32 GB NVRAM, hardware-accelerated encryption engine, two data plane ports and one cloud connection. The SPU offloads the full storage stack, with enterprise data services and no software dependencies. Throughout the presentation, Price takes questions from the Storage Field Day delegates.
