Today at the first Supermicro Storage Summit, Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) unveiled two new top-loading storage systems. The new Supermicro top-loading storage systems have either 60- and/or 90-bays, SSG-6049SP-DE1CR60 and SSG-6049SP-DE1CR90. These new systems will act as expansion for cloud-scale storage implementations as well as HPC storage applications.
In recent years, we continue to experience how storage performance is getting faster, which has been challenging the old storage protocols that have become a bottleneck for data centers. Despite using the latest fabric speed of 100GbE and new networking standards, such as InfiniBand, those slow network protocol technologies restrain flash device’s performance, keep it
