Overview

Is your business facing constant bottlenecks in application performance? Are you frustrated with real-time data access? The HP StorageWorks IO Accelerator for BladeSystem c-Class is the latest device from HP and is part of a comprehensive solid state storage portfolio. This device is targeted for markets and applications requiring high transaction rates and real-time data access that will benefit from application performance enhancement. It offers the equivalent storage performance of multiple disks. The HP IO Accelerator brings high I/O performance and low latency access to storage, with the reliability of solid state.

What's new

  • Accelerate Database/Data mining performance by replacing storage performance for multiple disk spindles with a single Mezzanine card
  • Reduce 3D rendering time
  • Drive faster decisions for Business Intelligence/financial transaction
  • Reduce power cost for c-Class BladeSystems

Features & Benefits

Higher Performance
  • High IOPs performance (up to 100K IOPs): HP StorageWorks IO Accelerator for BladeSystem c-Class provides high read and write performance and accelerated application performance (up to 100K IOPs) for customers with high I/O requirements, that buy large arrays just to get the performance from large number of drives
  • Fast read and writes (up to 800 MB/s): HP IO Accelerator offers customers with applications requiring high transaction rates and real-time data access will benefit significantly from high speed (up to 800 MB/s) augmenting existing NAS/SAN HDD based solutions
  • Low latency access to storage (~50 microseconds): HP IO Accelerator offers customers with local data high speed access(~50 microseconds) to enhance productivity
Low power consumption
  • Reduce power cost for c-Class BladeSystem: The HP IO Accelerator, unlike traditional hard drives, uses Solid State Disk Drives (SSD’s). SSD’s can shift to very low power modes quickly and return to full performance, without the penalty of delays associated with waiting for a disk to spin back up
  • Reduced cooling costs: Implementing HP IO Accelerator SSD’s lower average power consumption reduces the demands on the data center to cool systems
  • Reduced requirements for Rack Space: High Performance NAND storage has different availability characteristics than HDD based solutions, but superior I/O p/s performance, lower power consumption and rack space requirements
Enhances Business Critical Applications
  • Drives quicker financial transactions: The HP StorageWorks IO Accelerator enables faster performance with rapid response where output must be a few seconds or less
  • Reduce 3D rendering time: Reduce rendering time with the HP StorageWorks IO Accelerator achieving real time rendering
  • Accelerate Database/Data mining performance: Data mining in customer relationship management applications can contribute significantly to the bottom line. Rather than contacting a customer through a call center or sending mail, only prospects that are predicted to have a high likelihood of responding to an offer are contacted
