Supermicro WEKA Distributed Storage Solution

Unimaginable, shared, and parallel file systems to maximize your storage performance for the most extreme demands!

Solution Overview

With the storm of data raining down on today’s enterprise systems, flooding the capacity, and challenging the IT infrastructure to distribute the data out to the application that need it, feeding data-starved applications and extracting maximum value gets more and more challenging.

Supermicro and WEKA together deliver a high-performance, and ultra-low latency shared and parallel file storage solution leveraging NVMe flash. The bundle solution runs on Supermicro’s selected NVMe systems supporting the highest-performance processors, memory, storage, and networking. It is specifically designed and optimized for NVMe flash and cloud-native to accelerate today’s data centers and power breakthrough innovation.

Get ready to unlock the full capabilities of your data center with unprecedented speed and performance, no matter the scale.

Solution Benefits

The WekaFS, the underlying filesystem of The WEKA Data Platform, unifies your entire data lake into a shared global namespace where you can easily access and manage trillions of files from one directory. It instantly adapts to any new workload, has no knobs to tune, and no expertise is required. WEKA lives anywhere your data does, whether on-premises, in the public cloud or shared across both.

Product Brief

The Supermicro-NVMe Reference Architecture implements the next-generation of intelligent infrastructure platforms designed to provide applications with all of the raw performance you can expect from local storage — and all of the flexibility, manageability and scalability typically experienced with traditional storage area network-based solutions. Leveraging the latest NVMe and PCIe standards, this reference architecture uses a low-latency, high-bandwidth networking to connect compute and storage together in a flexible way that will fit almost any application’s architecture requirements. Deploy this RA in storage-centric, compute-centric or mixed storage and compute configurations, and integrate it with existing data center application servers as desired.
