New solution says bye bye to bottlenecks
New solution says bye bye to bottlenecks
Feb 8, 2005: Storage software provider Ibrix has introduced its Fusion software suite, an enterprise-class, parallel file system for cluster computing environments that promises to eradicate system bottlenecks.
Ibrix Fusion includes a fully-integrated logical volume manager and delivers linear scalability on throughput and capacity thus enabling increased productivity and faster data analysis. The suite is available to customers operating in cluster, grid, and enterprise computing environments through OEMs.
"Cluster computing is fast becoming the method of choice for enterprises that need to scale computing and storage capacity in the most cost-effective and operationally efficient manner," said Nick Allen, vice president and research director at Gartner. "A segmented file system approach is unlike any other and truly unleashes the power of cluster computing by solving the input/output bottleneck in clusters and enabling faster application performance.”
Fusion allows enterprise system administrators to build file systems that can scale to up to 16 petabytes of capacity in a single namespace, and provide up to one terabyte per second of aggregate I/O throughput performance. It is hardware, network, and protocol independent and can be deployed as either a host-installed cluster file system solution or exported over network file system (NFS), common internet file system (CIFS), or other industry standard protocols as a scalable network attached storage (NAS) solution.
