Dell EMC Combines DSSD and PowerEdge Servers for SAS Analytics

#Dell #EMC Solution for SAS Dell EMC today announced the new Dell EMC™ #DSSD™ D5™ Rack-Scale Flash solution leveraging Dell EMC PowerEdge™ R730 servers. This optimal solution for SAS applications delivers game-changing performance for SAS 9 analytics, enabling customers to take full advantage of new innovative offerings from the SAS portfolio. Customers can leverage DSSD D5 solutions for extreme storage performance to get more value from their existing SAS investments by complementing existing infrastructure to address bandwidth and I/O bottlenecks. Alternatively, they can leverage the Dell EMC solution to build a new high-performance analytics cluster for new projects. The next generation analytics solution for users across all roles will enable customers to leverage analytics at scale and accelerate time-to-value for their SAS workloads. The Dell EMC storage and server configuration lowers risk, delivers unprecedented performance, reliability and flexibility to enable and accelerate analytics at scale The mainstream 2S/2U PowerEdge R730 rack server is a datacenter workhorse, delivering highly functional flexibility to customers. The server's combination of powerful processors and large memory, coupled with the Dell EMC DSSD D5, enables faster access to data to support near- or real-time decision making. New performance testing conducted by Principled Technologies shows that the DSSD D5 delivers extreme low latency access to data and can meet the bandwidth requirements of hundreds of cores (tested with 352 cores), allowing customers to consolidate their SAS applications on a single platform, run more analytics in the same time period and enable more concurrent users and applications. While demonstrating near-linear scaling with eight Dell™ R730 servers, powered by Intel Xeon processors E5-2699 v4, and running more than 800 and concurrent analytics jobs, Dell EMC DSSD D5 delivered a peak bandwidth of 22.8 GB per second. In addition, the solution illustrated SAS CPU/real-time ratios greater than 1.0, even with eight servers, demonstrating that D5 was able to keep up with CPU demand for I/O while ensuring that all computing power was fully utilized.
