Optimized for Real-World Workloads
Going beyond four corner performance, Solidigm uses its deep knowledge of customer workloads to optimize performance for real-world IO conditions found in workloads such as AI/ML, HPC, databases, general purpose servers, and more.
High performance computing (HPC) is the ability to process data and perform complex calculations at high speeds. Clusters are networked to data storage to capture, feed, and ingest that data to optimize performance output. With the Solidigm D7-PS1010, HPC runs up to 37% higher throughput compared to our previous generation drive.6
General purpose servers (GPS) support a range of workloads that span databases, email, unified communications, content delivery networks, and more. Due to the nature of these servers, throughput and latency in a mixed environment is highly valued. Compared to a competitor drive, the Solidigm D7-PS1010 accelerates 80/20 sequential/random read performance by up to 50% and reduces latency up to 33%.7
Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) databases help organizations process large amounts of data from multiple sources and categorize it to provide valuable insights for any business. Solidigm D7-PS1010 can run this process up to 15% faster compared to a similar manufacturer drive, and over double the speed compared to the previous generation drive.8
Cloud compute services are utilized across a wide array of scenarios such as data backup, disaster recovery, databases, email, virtual desktop, and more. These usages present a highly random, mixed workload environment, which values low latency to improve experience. When deployed in an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) environment, Solidigm D7-PS1010 delivers up to 65% better bandwidth compared to a competitor drive.9 In server-based storage solutions, where VMs generate a mix of reads and writes that can be highly random or sequential, Solidigm D7-PS1010 will accelerate these workloads. Compared to similar drives from competition, the Solidigm D7-PS1010 can push these workloads to over 66% faster sequential write throughput.10
AI Pipeline Workloads
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence has caused a boom in compute power. The worst thing you can do to your graphics processing unit (GPU) efficiency is to throttle performance with hard disk drive (HDD) limitations. Solidigm D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 placed in an all-flash performance tier helps overcome HDD performance, endurance, and reliability limitations. Built to excel at every stage of the AI data pipeline, you can experience up to 50% higher throughput in certain pipeline phases, compared to similar drives by other manufacturers.11
Recommended use cases for the Solidigm D7-PS1010 and D7-PS1030 in AI data pipelines:
- As NVMe Data Cache Drive in GPU servers
- In All-Flash High-Performing Tier supporting lower-performing HDDs
