The company said that the new FileStorm storage solutions have been designed for organisations using InfiniBand-based server clusters for high-bandwidth and complex program execution. FileStorm with InfiniBand host connections enables these users to expand their high-performance computing environments with new low-cost storage and high-performance connectivity to their large-capacity SAS or SATA-based disk drives.
InfiniBand is an architecture and specification for data flow between processors and I/O devices that promises greater bandwidth and expandability. It is expected to gradually replace the existing peripheral component interconnect (PCI) shared-bus approach used in most of current personal computers and servers. It offers throughput of up to 2.5Gb/s and support for up to 64,000 addressable devices.
Utilising this switched process I/O technology, customers can leverage previous server and storage investments by directly connecting their existing InfiniBand-based cluster to INLINE's FileStorm storage though its new native InfiniBand interface, which means that large databases such can be queried at up to 10 times the speed, the company said.
No pricing details were disclosed.
