Gartner indicates “that the advent of big data use cases is just one dynamic compounding the challenges of managing data growth, and organizations face massive volumes of information and new content types that require variable storage, security, protection and access methods”. The growth of these business functions coupled with end-users’ demand for instant access to information are spurring the need for a revolution in how chief information officers (CIOs) leverage storage to manage requirements while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
SanDisk’s ULLtraDIMM SSD has been selected by IBM, which tested the solution under a variety of enterprise workloads and end-user scenarios. These benchmarks showed that the ULLtraDIMM SSD achieved 5-10 microsecond write latency in preliminary testing in the IBM eXFlash DIMM implementation—the lowest in the industry. IBM recently announced that the eXFlash DIMM (rebranded from the ULLtraDIMM SSD) is an option for its System x3850 X6 and the System x3950 X6 servers providing up to 12.8TB of flash capacity.
The award-winning SanDisk ULLtraDIMM SSD complements SanDisk’s existing flash-based solutions for enterprise customers, and can be integrated into an existing DIMM slot. This ensures ultra-low latency in business applications and results in improved application response times. Additional ULLtraDIMM SSDs can be added to available DIMM slots, scaling performance and capacity without impacting latency. This creates new opportunities for server system designs to support use cases that require extremely fast storage, such as High-Frequency Trading (HFT), VDI, transaction processing, virtualization and cloud computing.
“The SanDisk ULLtraDIMM SSD was designed to expand the reach of ultra-low latency flash storage throughout the data center and scale to meet the requirements of any enterprise application, no matter how bandwidth or capacity intensive,” said John Scaramuzzo, senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Storage Solutions at SanDisk. “The ULLtraDIMM SSD’s linear performance scalability and innovative DIMM form factor allow organizations to deploy flash as their application requirements change, without requiring significant infrastructure investment.”
