ThunderX Differentiation for Ceph
Category ThunderX Differentiation
Storage 16 SATA ports enable drive density per socket and reduces cost by not requiring extra controllers
Network
80Gbps/Socket provides the extra bandwidth for Storage traffic between OSD Cluster and to the
Clients.
Workload
Accelerators
ThunderX has accelerators like Compression and RAID (XOR and Galois Field), that offload the CPU and
eliminate need for extra HW
High level of
Integration
ThunderX provides a highly integrated solution, both at SoC level and at the system level, coupled with
complete SW Ecosystem.
Cost and TCO ThunderX based systems save on component costs due to the integrated SOC design and provide
lower TCO due to optimal power consumption.
