SSD Storage Leader Showcases EIO+PCIe Cards at High-Performance Computing Speeds
HAMBURG, Germany, and SANTA ANA, Calif., 2012-06-18 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
--
International Supercomputing Conference - STEC, Inc., Booth #102 -- STEC, Inc.
(Nasdaq:STEC), a leading global provider of solid-state drive (SSD) solutions,
today announced that it will demonstrate for the first time at the
International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) its new EnhanceIO(tm) SSD Cache
Software on its PCI Express (PCIe) hardware. This demonstration showcases the
newly released EnhanceIO SSD Cache Software and highlights how SSD applications
can achieve extremely high performance levels of up to 100K IOs per second
(IOPS) when used with an STEC PCIe high-endurance solid-state accelerator card.
ISC's focus on HPC hardware and software provides an ideal setting for STEC to
showcase the breadth of its high-performance SSD solutions. Delivering data
transfer of up to 8Gbps, the company's PCIe accelerator cards enable system
manufacturers and resellers to take advantage of the ultra-fast access speeds
of SSDs within the rapidly expanding PCIe installed base.
'Coupled together, EnhanceIO SSD Cache Software and STEC's PCIe technology
allow companies to achieve high IOPS levels with much less hardware and at
substantially lower cost than previously possible,' said Davide Villa, STEC's
vice president of sales, EMEA. 'Furthermore, even though we are showcasing the
performance with our own hardware, our EnhanceIO caching software provides
complete vendor independence as it works with SSD solutions from any supplier.
Attendees at ISC are encouraged to visit the STEC booth - number 102 -- to ask
questions and see EnhanceIO in action.'
Designed to be very easy to install and configure, EnhanceIO is currently
available for both Linux and Windows operating systems. In addition, it can be
used in conjunction with SSDs connected via SAS, Fibre Channel, PCIe or SATA
interfaces, and used as cache memory for accelerating applications and reducing
access latency, making the software an optimal solution for use in a variety of
HPC, cloud and other IO-intensive application environments.
EnhanceIO can be downloaded at www.stec-inc.com/product/ssdcache.php.
