Solving The Real Issues In Storage
One of the greatest issues confronting datacenter architects is how to scale applications in virtual environments without significantly increasing storage, networking and computing costs. This is especially true in distributed real-time analytics involving very large data sets (hundreds of terabytes to petabytes). In these use cases, the movement of these large data sets from storage to server memory has a huge impact on application performance. The NGD Systems Catalina-2 is a second-generation NVMe solid state drive (SSD) that was built to address this specific issue: how to avoid moving large data sets across PCIe busses and datacenter networks.
NVMestorage Solutions are powered by NGD Systems Flash storage and has become ubiquitous in both enterprise and embedded applications. Because it is solid state, flash has significant advantages over other forms of media such as hard disk drives (HDDs). These include significantly higher performance, lower access times, and predictable wear and failure characteristics. Flash media also offers significantly higher reliability than HDDs in challenging embedded environments such as military and aerospace applications. The greatest shortcoming of flash versus hard disk drives has historically been higher power consumption per terabyte than HDDs
