GERMANTOWN, Md., June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Density Dynamics, a
majority owned company of Speedus Corp (Nasdaq: SPDE), today
released demonstration results showing Jet.io™ Accelerator SSD as a
core component in solving a widely recognized problem in
performance known as I/O Bottlenecks and described in an
Enterprisestorageforum.com™ article by Henry Newman as the "Biggest Threat to Data
Storage". The solutions were presented during a live demonstration
at the NCLGISA conference on May
27th.
Randy Cress, Sr. Network
Administrator from Rowan County Information Systems Department
demonstrated both a Citrix XenServer 5.5 and VMware vSphere
4.0 environment operating on a hardware configuration that
represented a scaled down version of one of Rowan's data centers
with a theoretical 400MBp/s maximum throughput. A speed test setup
through a switch attaching both a RAID array of 9 spinning hard
drives and a single Jet.io Accelerator compared performance-using
Iometer. The 9-drive array delivered approximately 1,100 IOPS with
60MB/s of throughput versus one Jet.io Accelerator, which yielded
greater than 38,000 IOPS with 290MB/s of throughput. Separate tests
on virtualized servers were conducted using a directly attached
Jet.io which ran at 390MB/s equating to 98% of the theoretical
bandwidth.
Mr. Cress also performed an MS exchange stress test to debunk
the myth that there were inherent VM limitations in his
configuration instead of the real problem, which was I/O
bottleneck. Using the spinning disk array he was only able to
support 500 – 1,000 (non-heavy) users. Deploying the Jet.io
technology, he was able to support 4,500 (heavy) users, far beyond
their current capability.
The conclusion drawn from the evaluation was that his VM
limitations were primarily due to bottlenecks in the storage
elements of his infrastructure. Using a tiered storage
solution with the Jet.io drives for key storage functions could
free up his current infrastructure, allowing him to improve system
performance and to provide for significant growth in user workload
without upgrading his current compute or networking
infrastructure.
