Davide Villa at Xinnor & Keith McKay at ScaleFlux
30-min video
This webinar is a collaboration between Xinnor, a frontrunner in software-based RAID technology, and ScaleFlux, a leader in computational storage SSD solutions. The session will feature a compelling case study with Aerospike, a flash-based KV store, to demonstrate the synergy between Xinnor and ScaleFlux in delivering ultra-low latency solutions. We will also dissect the challenges RAID faces in high-performance contexts and showcase innovative solutions offered by both companies.
The ever-growing demand for high performance in storage environments puts traditional RAID technology under significant stress; we should not discount RAID’s relevance.
Key points:
• Challenges of RAID in High-Performance Environments: Gain insights into the performance bottlenecks and CPU overhead inherent in RAID systems.
• Impact of RAID on SSDs: We will examine challenges like write amplification and capacity trade-offs in SSDs and how Xinnor and ScaleFlux mitigate them.
• Software RAID from Xinnor:
o High-performance RAID technology that aligns with NVMe performance.
o Low CPU overhead.
o No added hardware components.
o User-friendly software.
• Computational SSDs from ScaleFlux:
o Reducing write-to-read interference.
o Addressing dual writes in RAID5. o Managing reconstruction traffic interference.
o Extending capacity to recover space consumed by parity data and beyond.
• Case Study with Aerospike: Discover how combining Xinnor and ScaleFlux’s technologies yields an ultra-low latency, NVMe performance storage solution.
