NextIO Partnership with Texas Memory Systems Enables World-Class SSD Performance Benchmarks.NextIO to demonstrate scaleable, high performance storage providing over 15M IOP's per rack at Super Computing 2009 AUSTIN, Texas -- NextIO, a leader in next-generation I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used. Hardware Virtualization Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. solutions, today announced an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and ) agreement with Texas Memory Systems, Inc. (www.ramsan.com) whereby NextIO will bundle TMS TMS Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (alternative medicine for depression) TMS Test Match Special (sports - cricket) TMS Texas Motor Speedway TMS Transportation Management System TMS Toyota Motor Sales RamSan Solid State Disk (SSD See solid state disk. ) products with NextIO's ICA-2800 Chassis providing customers with over a million input/output operations per second (IOP IOP intraocular pressure. IOP Intraocular pressure, see there ) performance and over five terabytes of low latency Low latency allows human-unnoticeable delays between an input being processed and the corresponding output providing real time characteristics. This can be especially important for internet connections utilizing services such as online gaming and VOIP - VOIP is not as important as storage in a 3u low-power footprint. NextIO will demonstrate a bundled storage appliance utilizing 8 or more TMS RamSan-10 PCIe SSD cards performing at 1.2M IOPs or greater at SC09, November 16-19, booth #2585 at the Oregon Convention Center The Oregon Convention Center is a convention center in Portland, Oregon. It is located on the east side of the Willamette River in the Lloyd District neighborhood. The Oregon Convention Center is best known for the twin spire towers which provide light into the building's interior. in Portland. "Texas Memory Systems is excited to add NextIO as a strategic OEM partner. Just a few months ago we announced a record-breaking five million IOPS in a 40u rack and now with a joint solution from NextIO, customers can realize over 15M IOPs in the same datacenter footprint," said Woody Hutsell, President, Texas Memory Systems. "This partnership with NextIO provides our customers with a quantum leap quantum leap n. An abrupt change or step, especially in method, information, or knowledge: "War was going to take a quantum leap; it would never be the same" Garry Wills. in scalable performance by simply combining these two world-class technologies." NextIO customers can now take advantage of a large, flexible pool of high-performance server storage under the control of the server administrator. Low-latency applications that previously traversed through large SAN infrastructures can now be localized at the top of the rack for maximum performance and management. "Our partnership with TMS will allows us to deliver an appliance targeted at application and database acceleration," said DaWane Wanek, vice president of world-wide sales, NextIO. "Because our combined solution is PCIe-based, the appliance will plug into today's current server environment which will provide immediate time-to-value." Available immediately, the fourteen slot NextIO application acceleration appliance can be configured and reconfigured with any mix of servers and TMS SSD cards depending on system demands. The TMS RamSan-10 is a 225GB, low-latency SSD targeted for scientific applications. The RamSan-20 features 450GB of Flash Memory for high-density storage systems. Pricing for a basic configuration starts at $19,500, which includes implementation, training and onsite application or database tuning Database tuning describes a group of activities used to optimize and homogenize the performance of a database. It usually overlaps with query tuning, but refers to configuration of the database files, the database management system (DBMS), and the operating system and hardware the assistance.
