NeuroBlade announced that it has qualified
KIOXIA America, Inc. as a
high-end NVMe storage collaborator for the NeuroBlade Hardware Enhanced Query
System (HEQS).
NeuroBlade is taking an industry-first approach
to data acceleration for modern cloud-based data warehouses and data lakes.
Currently, cloud-based architecture disaggregates compute and storage, which
has led to performance inefficiencies in data analytics, especially as
processing power of CPUs has not kept up with data growth. NeuroBlade changes
this. It adds an acceleration layer between compute and storage that increases
performance 10-100x when querying large datasets. This approach, hypercompute
for analytics, is the direction the industry is going to continue to improve
performance in the face of the relentless increase in data and analytics user
demands. The NeuroBlade HEQS solution filters and reduces network traffic and
data movement taking petabytes of data down to megabytes. Its solution
accelerates memory, compute, and storage to achieve processing at the speed of
data streaming, all while slashing IT costs by 90 percent.
The NeuroBlade HEQS solution provides supreme
performance while using standard NVMe SSDs. Combined with the features of the
KIOXIA FL6 Series enterprise NVMe Storage Class Memory (SCM) SSDs, NeuroBlade
HEQS unlocks an even greater performance matrix. The low-latency capabilities
of the FL6 deliver excellent system performance for applications where response
time is critical. The superior performance provided by the FL6 SSDs ensures
that NeuroBlade solutions can be best in class to analyze data more efficiently
for competitive advantage.
The FL6 Series bridges the performance gap
between DRAM and NAND flash memory. It delivers 60 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day)
endurance and performance of up to 1.5m random read IOPS and 400K random write
IOPS, with 29 μs read latency, and 8 μs write latency, respectively.
"KIOXIA FL6 SSDs enable NeuroBlade HEQS to
accelerate insights from data analytics," said Eliad Hillel, CTO, and
co-founder of NeuroBlade.
"For NeuroBlade, it is vital that our customers to be free to leverage the
storage of their choice based on their performance requirements. This often
requires streaming data at the line rate as fast as possible, and the FL6
Series delivers. At the same time, it brings enterprise-level features such as native
dual-port access for high-availability and resiliency, as well as SED and FIPS
level 140-2 security options. This is an exciting time for NeuroBlade, and we
couldn't be more honored to collaborate with KIOXIA. The FL6 provides superior
performance and reliable QoS in low queue depth, which is an obvious choice for
real-world latency-sensitive applications."
"We welcome the collaboration with NeuroBlade
and their efforts to solve the data analysis performance gap. KIOXIA's FL6 SSDs
are a good fit for the application layer where server caching and write logging
for enterprise and large data centers are critical," said Neville
Ichhaporia, vice president of SSD marketing and product management, KIOXIA
America, Inc..
"We are pleased to work with NeuroBlade and help deliver an innovative solution
that accelerates widely used database applications."
