Vexata, the leader in accelerated data infrastructure announces the VX-Cloud
Data Acceleration Platform, transforming industry standard servers into
hyper-scale data platforms that meet the extreme performance at scale demands
of business-critical analytics, database and ML/AI applications. Powered by
Vexata's patented Accelerated Data Architecture software and FPGA firmware,
VX-Cloud eliminates the economic barriers for public cloud providers and
on-premise private clouds to provide a unified, multi-petabyte, extreme
performance tier allowing data to be flexibly provisioned across multiple
consolidated applications. Compared to premium SSD tiers available from today's
leading public cloud providers, VX-Cloud achieves up to 20X improvements in
IOPS and bandwidth at consistent low-latency for random, mixed R/W traffic, at
significantly lower $/GB acquisition cost.
Complementary to the Vexata VX-100 Scalable NVMe Flash Array and built on
the same proven Accelerated Data Architecture, VX-Cloud drives a new level of
performance and scale at breakthrough economics for cloud service providers and
on-premise private clouds. VX-Cloud's scalable software design utilizes
industry standard servers that can scale within or even across racks to deliver
cloud-scale block and file data services for high-performance transactional
databases, decision support systems, advanced analytics, high performance
computing (HPC), machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
workloads. Use cases include risk analytics, trading system analytics,
financial modeling, cyber-security, IoT analytics, autonomous AI, and deep
learning. VX-Cloud deploys seamlessly with industry leading database, analytics
and AI platforms such as Oracle RAC, SQL Server, Postgres, SAS, Kdb+, Cassandra
and TensorFlow.
VX-Cloud is delivered as a set of reference architectures available through
qualified strategic partners who have integrated VX-Cloud software onto their
server platforms. Consisting of three core architectural elements -
Acceleration, Distribution and Aggregation - VX-Cloud allows performance and
capacity to scale-out independently and on-demand. It provides multi-parity
data protection, high availability failover, core data services such as data
encryption, volume management, thin provisioning, snapshots and clones, in-line
data reduction, and granular I/O monitoring and analytics, and supports a range
of virtualized and physical host operating systems.
"Fujitsu is looking forward to explore what the VX-Cloud solution can
deliver, and we look forward to working with the Vexata team to build out
next-generation infrastructure," said Alex Lam, Vice President and Head of
the North America Strategy Office for Fujitsu Technology & Business of
America. "The need for advanced analytics and cognitive systems are
driving organizations to rethink their traditional compute and storage
Infrastructure. We look forward to leveraging our Fujitsu Solutions Lab to
showcase the combined strengths of Vexata technology with our Fujitsu PRIMERGY
server platform to provide a unified data acceleration and storage platform
that can meet the demands of the most challenging analytical workloads that a
customer may throw at it."
"Combining Supermicro's advanced NVMe server and storage systems with
Vexata software offers service providers and enterprises a powerful,
performance-optimized solution for their petabyte scale Cloud
deployments," said Michael McNerney, VP of Marketing and Network Security
at Supermicro. "Based on our advanced 2U BigTwin systems, the Vexata
VX-Cloud provides a compelling new hyper-scale data acceleration platform for
high-performance workloads requiring low latency and fast response
times."
"Vexata is excited to expand our product
portfolio to address the broader requirements of the cloud service providers
with VX-Cloud," said Zahid Hussain, CEO of Vexata. "VX-Cloud software
is a perfect complement to the success we've seen using the VX-100 Scalable
NVMe Flash Array deployed at blue chip companies for financial risk analytics,
trading simulations and analytics, fraud detection, threat analytics, global
IoT analytics, and manufacturing analytics. We fully expect the VX-Cloud
opportunity to be even larger as we bring the performance and economic
advantages of our Accelerated Data Architecture to cloud scale."
