MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwired - June 01, 2016) - ProphetStor Data Services, Inc. today announced that it has partnered with Cavium to co-develop and co-market a cost-effective all-solid-state storage array based on Cavium's ThunderX
The application-aware storage array, taking full advantage of ThunderX's large core count, memory capacity, integrated virtSoC' technology and multiple built-in Ethernet ports, delivers ProphetStor's Federator
"The fully integrated I/O that is designed into ThunderX, combined with leading ARMv8 server features such as dual socket support and 48 cores per socket, is a tremendous platform to deliver the full capability of Federator SDS to end users," said Larry Wikelius, Vice President Software Ecosystem and Solutions, Cavium. "Cavium continues to drive the server ecosystem with partners that can fully utilize key ThunderX features and deliver significant value and competitive advantage to our customers. With its innovative and complementary software-defined-storage technologies, ProphetStor is an extremely valuable partner of our expanding community of ecosystems."
"Feature-rich software for storage arrays does come with a cost due to its many CPU-intensive tasks such as inline deduplication and compression," said Eric Chen, ProphetStor CEO. "With the high throughput of modern all-flash arrays, computation power becomes the next bottleneck. Cavium's ThunderX processers offer a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution to fully realize the performance advantages of the all-flash arrays powered by our Federator SDS software. With Cavium, we are able to create arrays with higher capacity and higher performance while reducing their chassis footprint and carbon footprint at the same time."
