SANTA CLARA, CA --(Marketwired - September 14, 2016) - Violin Memory®, Inc. , (
This new Violin vision includes:
- Further lowering the ultra-low latency of FSP all flash storage below the current, industry leading 200-microsecond consistent latency of the new FSP 7650 solutions.
- Enhancing data mobility beyond the capabilities of FSP Stretch Cluster that now enables business continuance (BC) with zero recovery point objectives (RPO) and zero recovery time objectives (RTO).
- Facilitating private, hybrid, and public cloud all flash storage integration with Concerto in the Cloud software products running in cloud environments and controlled on premise with Symphony and Concerto FSP software.
"Violin's forward thinking design from inception enables, for example, the Flash Storage Platform all flash storage arrays to adapt seamlessly to meet the requirements of tomorrow," said Tim Stoakes, Violin Memory's Chief Architect. "This allows performance-sensitive databases and applications to take advantage of the lower latency of on-premise FSP solutions while other workloads can leverage the lower cost of public cloud storage."
Data Mobility with Concerto in the Cloud
Violin's vision for enhancing the data mobility of FSP solutions includes a potential future software defined storage (SDS) product -- Concerto in the Cloud -- that could deliver a virtualized instance of the Violin Concerto OS that could be deployed in private, hybrid, or public cloud environments. This could allow more data mobility options to support cloud-based applications such as backup, archive, or testing/development. It might also integrate with legacy storage in the cloud or enable a lower tier of storage than FSP solutions alone. Violin Symphony will enable Single Pane of Glass (SPOG) management, across FSP and private, hybrid or public cloud solutions.
Lower Latency with NVMe Over Fabric (NVMf)
Violin's vision for further lowering the latency of FSP solutions includes future support for the new NVM Express (NVMe) and NVMe Over Fabrics (NVMf) technologies and standards. The Violin Flash Fabric Architecture (FFA) provides custom connections between Violin Inline Memory Modules (VIMMs) and other modules incorporated within FSP solutions and could facilitate supporting NVMe within FSPs and NVMf between them. The new FSP 7650 support a minimum latency of 150 microseconds, but NVMf could allow further reductions in latency.
