Overview

There are three elements to a perfect data storage solution, performance, reliability, and efficiency.

Popular storage solutions on the market today often provide two of the three, but almost never all of them. For example, a high performing software-defined storage system on NVMe provides great performance and resiliency but is very inefficient. Similarly, legacy spinning disk appliances often provide resilience and efficiency, but lack the necessary performance. Nyriad GPU-accelerated storage provides all three elements in a single solution.

Thinkmate’s Nyriad GPU-accelerated storage solutions leverage the performance of GPUs to improve the read/write speeds of spinning disk storage arrays to 20GB/s, well beyond that of a traditional RAID array. This method uses erasure coding to provide speeds like those of all-flash storage.

With Nryiad GPU-accelerated storage, you get performance that rivals all-flash storage arrays, the reliability of software-defined storage, and the economic efficiency of high-capacity spinning disk HDDs.

Nyriad storage is also designed for extreme resiliency, able to sustain up to 20 drive failures while maintaining 95% performance. Plus, since Nyriad storage uses HDD, it provides unheard of capacity at these speeds with up to 3.3PB usable storage in a 16U deployment.

Use Cases

High Performance Computing

Nyriad is tailor-made for HPC’s biggest challenges. Across various workflows for energy, finance, big data, and engineering use cases, UltraIO’s unique mix of performance and scalability is a key differentiator for users. These factors paired with its economic viability and resistance to system failure are the ideal mix for researchers, engineers, and scientists that rely on data to get results while operating on a strict budget.

Media and Entertainment

Media production and content delivery is a unique data storage challenge. UltraIO’s high read/write speeds and simple deployment are ideal of content producers that often have high peak utilization rates and strained IT infrastructure budgets. If you’re rendering high resolution footage or delivering high volumes of media, don’t let storage speeds hinder your production.

Key Features

• Reliability – The highly redundant design allows for up to 20 drive failures before losing performance
• Performance – Nyriad always keeps all drives at maximum performance with GPU-acceleration
• Efficiency – Using the largest capacity drives available without the overhead of SSD storage means a larger capacity in a smaller footprint.
• Simplicity – UltraIO systems are POSIX-compliant, meaning they can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure
