Wistron and Kalray announced the availability of FURIO1200, a 24-Flash-Drive NVMe-oF based storage node appliance, integrating Kalray’s NVMe-oF K200 smart storage adapter. It is powered by its MPPA Coolidge intelligent processor, and Wistron LYMMA chassis.
Hyper-fast disaggregated storage solution
FURIO1200 is a new type of hyper-fast disaggregated storage solution delivering ultra-high throughput and reliability. It is developed for cloud service providers and enterprises running applications with intensive AI and data analytics workloads as well as to optimize their next-generation storage.
Eric Baissus, President and CEO of Kalray, said,
“Together with WISTRON, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of data center servers, we are very proud of our contribution to the development of the FURIO1200 solution. We expect this solution to become a game changer in the industry.”
Storage is important for meeting increasing performance needs in data centers, driving the introduction of flash technology-based drives with hyper-fast communication protocols such as NVMe and NVMe-oF.
FURIO1200, as an NVMe-oF all-flash JBOF appliance, offers a breakthrough solution for the industry to massively scale up and increase the performance of existing data centers. In addition, FURIO1200™ makes disaggregation a reality, by allowing compute resources to be separated from storage resources while optimizing the performance of the overall system and re-use.
FURIO1200 will be in use in the first quarter of this year and volume production is expected to start by mid-2021, with first customer trials being planned in the coming weeks.
