This session covers the engineering strategies and lessons learned at IBM creating industry leading in-memory data warehousing technology for use with both cloud and on-premises software. Along with rich in-memory SQL support for OLAP, data mining, and data warehousing leveraging memory optimized parallel vector processing, we’ll showcase the in-database analytics for R, spatial, and the built-in synchronization with Cloudant JSON NoSQL. We'll take a closer look at the architectural strategy for treating RAM as the new disk (and worth avoiding access to), while dramatically constraining the potential cost pressures of in-memory technology. We’ll describe how we designed for super-simplicity with load-and-go no-tuning technology for any size system, and of course… a demo. Ridiculously easy to use and freakishly fast. Not your grandmother’s IBM database.
Searching for a faster SSD for enterprise applications? With all the acronyms, the choice can be confusing. But when we step through all the technology options, they lead to one clear choice. Check out the infographic to learn more about M.2 SSDs.
Benchmarking Performance: Benefits of PCIe NVMe SSDs for Client WorkloadsSamsung Business USA
The transition from Serial ATA (SATA ) to Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol is taking client storage to a new level. This white paper discusses the benefits that PCIe NVMe SSDs, such as Samsung’s 950 PRO, bring to client PC users. Client PC workloads are not always well understood in the industry, since common benchmarking utilities tend to focus on measuring maximum performance rather than performance under typical PC usage. This white paper looks at actual IO traces of PC workloads to better understand how client SSDs should be benchmarked, and also tests the 950 PRO against other Samsung SSDs to show how PCIe and NVMe improve IO performance in tests that represent real-world IO activity.
Yesterday's thinking may still believe NVMe (NVM Express) is in transition to a production ready solution. In this session, we will discuss how the evolution of NVMe is ready for production, the history and evolution of NVMe and the Linux stack to address where NVMe has progressed today to become the low latency, highly reliable database key value store mechanism that will drive the future of cloud expansion. Examples of protocol efficiencies and types of storage engines that are optimizing for NVMe will be discussed. Please join us for an exciting session where in-memory computing and persistence have evolved.
In-memory computing is a reality. So are the limits of memory capacity. Data size constantly increases, while application developers and IT staff push for in-memory efficiencies; the conclusion is inevitable: we need to be able to access more memory than the DRAM capacity that the server provides. ScaleMP’s Software Defined Memory (SDM) technology allows for more system memory to be available per server, far beyond the hardware limits, by utilizing memory from other nodes (over fabric) or from locally installed non-volatile memory (NVM) such as NAND Flash or 3D XPoint – transparently and without any changes to operating system or applications. We shall present the benefits of SDM, discuss the relevant use-cases, and share performance data.
Moving to PCI Express based SSD with NVM ExpressOdinot Stanislas
Une très bonne présentation qui introduit la technologie NVM Express qui sera à coup sure l'interface du futur (proche) des "disques" SSD. Adieu SAS et SATA, bienvenu au PCI Express dans les serveurs (et postes clients)
In this talk we report on our experience with Redis-on-Flash (RoF)—a recently introduced product that uses SSDs as a RAM extension to dramatically increase the effective dataset capacity that can be stored on a single server. This talk provides the first in-depth RoF system performance characterization: we consider different use cases (varying both RAM-to-disk access ratio and object size), and compare SATA-based RoF, NVMe-based RoF, and all-RAM Redis deployments. We show that the superior performance of NVMe drives in terms of both latency and peak bandwidth makes them a particularly good fit for RoF use cases. Specifically, we show that backing RoF with NVMe drives can deliver more than 2 million operations per second with sub-millisecond latency on a single server.

Presentation from 2016 Austin OpenStack Summit.
The Ceph upstream community is declaring CephFS stable for the first time in the recent Jewel release, but that declaration comes with caveats: while we have filesystem repair tools and a horizontally scalable POSIX filesystem, we have default-disabled exciting features like horizontally-scalable metadata servers and snapshots. This talk will present exactly what features you can expect to see, what's blocking the inclusion of other features, and what you as a user can expect and can contribute by deploying or testing CephFS.
NVMe PCIe and TLC V-NAND It’s about TimeDell World
With an explosion in data and the relentless growth in demand for information, identifying a much more efficient means of storage has become extremely important. In this session, we will cover the key drivers behind the need for faster and more efficient storage. NVMe, a standardized protocol for PCIe-based storage, is giving users the huge leap in bandwidth required for demanding applications. Samsung, who makes the fastest NVMe SSDs on the market, will cover the benefits enabled by such technology, in areas such as fraud prevention and surgical procedures.
The technology behind flash drives – NAND memory – will be spotlighted in this presentation. Memory manufacturers have improved NAND’s value by migrating from single-level-cell to multi-level-cell designs, but the most significant evolution will be a marriage of triple-level-cell and V-NAND flash manufacturing technologies. Samsung will also provide an overview of the prospects for TLC V-NAND with mobile device manufacturers, while examining the strong potential for a much wider TLC V-NAND market in data centers.
Flash for the Real World – Separate Hype from RealityHitachi Vantara
Join us for a live webcast and hear Hu Yoshida, Chief Technology Officer of Hitachi Data Systems, discuss the real world criteria for making an effective decision when evaluating flash storage. With all the noise in the market it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction in order to evaluate the performance, efficiency and economic trade-offs for flash storage.
Specifically, you’ll learn how to determine if flash storage will help you:
Actually achieve the performance you need as you compare technology options.
Realize efficiency gains that extend beyond the promise of flash performance.
Make the economic case for real-world business decisions before taking the leap.

How many conventional flash devices per channel to saturate? Sata 1 Sata 2 Sata 3
Comparable number of interface blocks in controller Higher speed IO in HLNAND rings allows higher BW P to P connection facilitates higher IO rates per ring (channel) Lower pin count on hlnand controller -> dependent on number rings, not devices
