SUPERMICRO®SERVERS EXCEL AS A WEKAIO REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE

PublishTime：2021-12-29

WekaIO’s file system (WekaFS) is a fully distributed, parallel file system that was written entirely from scratch to deliver the highest performance file and object services by leveraging NVMe flash as its primary storage for persistent data across a wide range of applications. WekaFS will also, and transparent to the application layer, seamlessly expand the filesystem namespace to include an extended layer built on any S3 compliant object storage system. There is no need for a particular data migration software or complex scripts; all data resides in a single global namespace for easy access and management while maintaining the best performance. The intuitive graphical user interface allows a single administrator to quickly and easily manage hundreds of petabytes of data without any specialized storage training.
Leveraging existing technologies in new ways and augmenting them with engineering innovations, Weka's software delivers a more powerful and more straightforward solution that would have traditionally required several disparate storage systems.
The resulting software solution provides high performance for all workloads (big and small files, reads and writes, random, sequential, and metadata heavy). Furthermore, it is designed to run on a server infrastructure that does not rely on any specialized hardware-assist. As future hardware innovations come to market, WekaFS is well-positioned to leverage emerging technologies for the continued delivery of best cost and performance. The system can be expanded online to handle more demanding performance or store more capacity with no service interruption.
■ Configuration
● Our WekaIO reference configuration offers the lowest cost, most flexible, outstanding performance on a single processor platform leveraging AMD EPYC processors with128 lanes of PCIe Gen4 that supports up to 20 PCIe Gen 4 NVME storage devices, greater than 256 GB of memory, with 24 cores per CPU
●The reference system provides raw capacity of up to 6.5 PB/rack or 306 TB/server using 15.3 TB NVME PCIe Gen 4(21x20x15.3=6.5 PB per 42U Rack)
● High-performance PCIe4 Kioxia NVME drives with measured performance of 6.9 GB/s vs. 3.3 GB/s and 1.6 MIOPs vs. 800 KIOPs for PCIe 3 drives
● One of the key advantages of this platform is the online upgrade of additional capacity without adding IO/switches/network port/or nodes by inserting NVMe drives to empty slots within the cluster systems. This allows users to simply install additional drives for extra capacity, turn on the software, and the systems are being configured automatically. Users can also easily scale out the number of storage cluster hosts to improve performance and capacity as needed.
