E8 Storage

E8 Storage is the high-performance storage system with extremely low delays constructed on NVMe and high-speed networks. The purpose consists in increasing performance on the smaller number of servers with the minimum delays. A system uses NVMe SSD disks inside and is intended for work with such technologies as Mellanox Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). There is also client part of the solution which provides not only direct access to remote storage, but also distributes a part of loading of input-output of the storage device E8 Storage, allowing the storage device E8 to support more approved performance profile. E8 Storage also uses RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), the network protocol which provides remote direct memory access through an Ethernet network. It means that transactions of data transmission from the client to storage do not load the central processor of the controller on the E8 Storage device. Thus "the bottle throat" of increase in productivity because of excessive loading of processors of the controller of DWH successfully is eliminated.

E8 Storage claims that a system can support ten million 4K of read IOPS (yes, 10 million!), 4K read, capacity on reading - 40GB/s and the level of delays (latencies) the little is higher, than at locally connected SSD.
