LSI launches Nytro product portfolio: Layout Enterprise Flash Market

Tenkine News, LSI Company in early April in the North American region launched a comprehensive Nytro series solution, recently, the LSI accelerated Storage Division director Michael Chang to Tenkine reporter introduced Nytro series of solutions details.

In the Enterprise http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/14162.html ">it architecture, Flash technology is one of the most important changes in storage field, which can make up the gap between computing performance and storage. The enterprise chooses the flash plan flexibly according to its requirement. It is understood that the Nytro series solution combines PCIe Flash technology with intelligent cache and management software to speed up data access for databases and other applications, as well as to provide real-time analysis and reporting capabilities. The application performance of data center and cloud environment is improved obviously.

Breaking through traditional data center storage three major difficulties

"Currently, both SAS and SATA drive speeds have been delayed. "In the data center, the speed of CPUs has grown nearly 100 times times over the past 20 years, but traditional hard drives have grown little," says Michael Chang. There is a big gap between the two. ”

Michael Chang told Tenkine that another big problem besetting the head of the datacenter was performance and cost assessment. "SSD runs very fast, but its unit price is also very expensive." How to effectively combine it with traditional storage is a big challenge. Michael Chang said.

In addition, the upgrading of the hard drive to SSDs and optimization, but also many enterprise-class users face the problem. Because you have to find a very suitable software, after the adjustment, it takes a lot of time to do performance optimization. So, many it decision-makers are still cautious about solid-state disk technology.

"The popular Pcle solution in the market is very high speed equipment." But prices have also deterred many enterprise-class users. Michael Chang said.

For the above problems, Flash is a lot of enterprise priority solution, the hot data on the flash, the cold point of the data on the ordinary hard disk can be? How to effectively mix the flash memory with the hard drive, you can reduce costs, LSI is expected in the next three years, there will be a 1.4 billion dollar market opportunities.

Nytro Product Analysis

Nytro Intelligent Accelerated Flash Solution Series The key words are "fast" and "smart".

In terms of acceleration, LSI acquired the SandForce in 2011, while the Nytro product line applied SandForce SSD solutions. This enables LSI to improve efficiency both on the system side and on the CPU acceleration. "If you use Nytro, competitors may use four or three, because they need to use a lot of CPU and storage resources, and our product line does not appear this problem." Michael Chang says.

In terms of intelligence, the Nytro product family is paired with Predictor software tools. It will run on the server environment, effectively feedback to the enterprise users and data centers, the number of hot data.
