PeSAN enabled BlueStor Storage Server sets new performance benchmark using AMD Opteron(TM) Processors
CHATSWORTH, Calif., Oct. 16 /- JMR Electronics, Inc., a premier supplier of Storage and Server Platforms for OEMs, Systems Integrators and VARS, is pleased to announce the general availability of its new BlueStor(TM) Storage Server, an AMD Opteron(TM) processor-based storage solution. BlueStor(TM) provides peak performance in RAID environments, surpassing input-output operations per second currently available from other platforms.
"Using off-the-shelf MS Storage Server 2003 and LSI's MegaRAID 8344 PCIe controller installed in the BlueStor(TM) configuration, we've achieved over 55,000 IOPS when using Dual-core AMD Opteron processors," said Stu Fisher, Vice President of Business Development for JMR. "That's about 31 percent better performance than when the identical system is tested with the same benchmarking scripts using dual-core Xeon(R) processors. AMD's Direct Connect Architecture is ideal for increased I/O demands when coupled with JMR's BlueStor(TM) platforms."
JMR BlueStor(TM) PCIe RAID storage systems, enabled with PeSAN(TM) technology and connected to the BlueStor(TM) Storage Server, are achieving a combined and sustained throughput of more than 1,000 MB/s, with peaks at slightly greater than 1,300 MB/s, using just three PeSAN(TM) disk drive shelves. Five years of research and development by JMR has led to the creation of PeSAN(TM), which is a patented technology that connects storage directly to an external PCIe host bus.
"JMR's BlueStor(TM) Storage Server based on AMD Opteron processors provides a compelling unified storage system with exceptional throughput and can help deliver storage scalability to growing businesses," said Greg White, Vice President, Desktop and Embedded Product Marketing at AMD. "The benefits of networked storage enhanced by the technical capability of AMD64 technology should prove to be a powerful storage solution for JMR's customers."
JMR is an exhibitor in AMD's booth, #G1, at Storage Networking World in Dallas, Texas at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center. The show began on Monday, October 15 and demonstration booths are open Tuesday, October 16 and Wednesday, October 17 for registered vendors and visitors.
