Ion Systems Obelisk 1

Send

The Ion Systems Obelisk 1 is a high-performance storage system designed for large-scale data analysis, machine learning, and scientific computing workloads. It offers exabyte scalability, ultra-low latency, and parallel I/O through the use of NVM Express (NVMe) SSDs and NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) networking.The system is based on a modular architecture that allows for seamless expansion as workload demands grow, and supports hot-plugging of SSDs, controllers, and networking components for maximum flexibility and availability. The Obelisk 1 also features advanced data protection and resilience capabilities, such as RAID, data duplication, and storage replication, to ensure data integrity in the event of component failures.Some of the key features and benefits of the Ion Systems Obelisk 1 include:- Exabyte scalability: The system can support up to 4 petabytes of raw capacity in a single rack, enabling large-scale data storage and analysis.- Ultra-low latency: NVMe SSDs provide sub-microsecond response times and high throughput, making it possible to process and analyze data quickly.- Parallel I/O: NVMe-oF enables parallel I/O with multiple hosts accessing the same storage via NVMe fabric connections, reducing latency and improving performance.- Seamless modularity: The system can be easily expanded or upgraded to accommodate growing storage and compute requirements, allowing for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness.- Data protection and resilience: Advanced data protection and resilience capabilities ensure reliable and resilient data storage and management.Overall, the Ion Systems Obelisk 1 is an ideal solution for data-intensive workloads that require high performance, scalability, and efficiency. It is well-suited for use in applications such as genome sequencing, weather forecasting, oil and gas exploration, financial simulations, and other demanding environments.
