Open Storage Summit: Supermicro vSAN HCI Solution Delivering Up to 4.7x Performance at 3x Lower Cost
SuperMicro News, Thursday, August 31,2023
Multi-node BigTwin HCI system with 4th gen Xeon Scalable processors provides 2x I/O bandwidth with PCIe 5.0 and up to 1.5x memory bandwidth with DDR5 and supports built-in CPU accelerators for workload specific performance gains.
As virtualized workloads become more advanced, processing power and storage performance requirements increase, requiring greater capacity to meet application SLAs and maximize virtual machine density. This solution also utilizes the latest Intel AMX accelerator for AI workloads.
When compared to the Supermicro X11 BigTwin, benchmark testing conducted by the company showed up to 4.7x higher IO throughput and 8.2x lower latency on the HCIBench benchmark, up to 4.9x faster image classification inference throughput on the ResNet50 model and up to 4x faster natural language processing throughput on BERT-Large model. In addition, the superior power and efficiency of the firm's X13 BigTwin architecture can deliver up to 3x cost and performance improvement within the same node footprint compared to a similar deployment based on the company's older-gen systems, creating a compelling case for organizations to upgrade their aging infrastructure.
