New Fusion-io and Supermicro OEM Relationship Announced at CeBIT as
Companies Showcase the Performance of Fusion's ioMemory Technology in
Supermicro SuperServer
HANOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
[CeBIT Hall 2, Stand F38/F32] — Fusion-io,
pioneer of high-performance solutions for next generation data centers,
is demonstrating at CeBIT with its newest Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) partner, Super
Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high-performance server and storage solutions.
The CeBIT demonstration showcases a new 1U Twin SuperServer
running on the flash-based, server-attached ioDrive
Octal from Fusion-io achieving 1.4 million random IOPS from the
simple to deploy configuration.
Fusion-io and Supermicro are offering Fusion Powered SuperServers that
significantly accelerate data intensive applications and workloads for
virtual machine implementations, financial transactions, web content,
database and data mining.
"Fusion's technology has added significant weight to the Supermicro
solution. By integrating the new ioDrive Octal, our SuperServer can
achieve much higher IO performance with a very high flash-storage
capacity to support mission-critical applications," said Wally Liaw,
Senior Vice President of International Sales for Supermicro. "We are
pleased to work with Fusion-io to offer these solutions to our channel
partners."
The initial offering of Fusion Powered SuperServers includes three
models, bringing Fusion's ioMemory technology to Supermicro SuperServers
in 1U, 2U and 4U form factors. Supermicro customers will be able to
select from Fusion's ioDrive, ioDrive Duo and ioDrive Octal when
building their customized solution, making it easy for customers to
order ready-to-deploy Fusion Powered Servers in multiple configurations.
By integrating the ioDrive Octal directly into a SuperServer, enterprise
applications are accelerated by up to 10 times and beyond, while
simultaneously reducing power-per-IOP up to 10 times.
"We've been working closely with Supermicro to create a solution that
eliminates unnecessary complexity while dramatically improving
performance and reliability for their customers," said Jim Dawson,
Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Fusion-io. "Breaking the
million IOPS barrier with Supermicro clearly demonstrates that Fusion
Powered solutions dramatically exceed the speed of even SSD-based
storage arrays."
