Heavenly Cloud Match: Fusion-io and Supermicro Break Records

Breaking Records has been Fusion-io’s tradition. Tie it up with powerhouse Supermicro, and you get a solid pair that can deliver any time of the day. Their partnership was recently sealed as they both cast another milestone, breaking the million IOPS barrier. Together, Fusion-io and Supermicro entered an OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturer deal and are now offering Fusion Powered SuperServers that intends to extensively speed up data-intensive applications and workloads for virtual machine implementations, financial transactions, web content, database and data mining. Demonstrations are now happening at CebIT in Germany.

Without a doubt, the team-up has benefited both parties. Wally Liaw, Senior Vice President of International Sales for Supermicro acknowledged the boost that Fusion-io has provided them. He notes that “Fusion’s technology has added significant weight to the Supermicro solution. By integrating the new ioDrive Octal, our SuperServer can achieve much higher IO performance with a very high flash-storage capacity to support mission-critical applications. We are pleased to work with Fusion-io to offer these solutions to our channel partners.”

You put a maker of ultrafast memory modules and a market leader in application-optimized and high-performance storage system together— and you get overload of 2.2 million sequential IOPS plus more than of 1.4 million random IOPS that offer supercharged performance in Supermicro’s new SuperServerline. Server-attached ioDrive Octal is the chief perpetrator of this feat.

Fusion-io is no stranger to milestone recognition.  Aside from its solid performance within a shared roof with Supermicro that recently launched SuperBlade system that supports 20 GPUs in a single 7U blade enclosure, Fusion-io also conquered the big three: IBM, HP and Dell. Celebrations go on as this California-based company achieved a total of 15 petabytes of enterprise flash shipped and its re-alignment with Japan’s domineering organization, Tokyo Electron Device or TED.
