2020: Low-latency NVMe Disk View

The cloud platform Mail.ru Cloud Solutions (MCS) on December 16, 2020 introduced the next type of Low-latency NVMe disks on the Russian market - ultra-fast network disk technology. It provides instant access to databases, information systems, and applications at any load and ensures a response rate of 0.5 ms.

Low-latency NVMe technology is designed for high-load systems (ERP, databases) that require a disk subsystem response speed. The speed of such systems is especially important for retailers, banks, catering enterprises, content providers, gaming platforms, exchange and financial services, whose IT infrastructure is subject to peak loads. Low-latency NVMe increases the responsiveness of enterprise systems and the speed of external applications.

This type of disk reduces the latency of disk subsystem operations many times and solves the problems of high-load systems such as database servers or ERP. This solution from MCS provides instant synchronization and stability at peak loads, when many requests are processed at the same time and a quick system response is required. The solution runs on high-frequency virtual machine configurations and allows you to increase disk performance by 3-4 times. When using Low-latency NVMe configurations in real cases, the response rate does not exceed 0.5 ms with a SLA of 99.95%.

The solution is demanded by developers of user applications, data analysts, architects of information systems, specialists in the field of machine learning, data science.

One of our key tasks is to improve customer infrastructure performance. Low-latency NVMe repeatedly increases the response speed of systems and increases their stability, "said Ilya Letunov, head of the Mail.ru Cloud Solutions and Tarantool platform. - Our technology, accessible from the cloud in Russia and integrated with many other cloud services, solves this problem.
