IBM SSDs break 1 million IOPS record
IBM has announced a real breakthrough in flash storage performance. As part of the Quicksilver research project, they achieved a speed of 1 million IOPS, that is, 1 million I / O operations, whereas for the best modern storage systems on SSD disks, the record is 400,000 IOPS .
Thus, the performance of SSD systems is increased two and a half times. Flash arrays of the new generation also have 20 times less response time, and racks with them occupy five times less space in the data center and consume only 55% of electricity and cooling compared to the best modern solutions from Texas Instruments or IBM itself (in particular, when compared to SAN Volume Controller and IBM DS4700 storage systems).
Storage systems on SSD disks are becoming more common in servers. IBM has been delivering such systems with some BladeCenter servers since June 2007.
The Quicksilver project is a collaboration between IBM’s research and development units in England (laboratory at Hursley) and California (Almaden Research Center).
