TerraGrid DBScale Wins 'Best Database Solution' At LinuxWorld
Voltaire announced that its joint solution with Terrascale, Supermicro and
Western Digital was named "Best Database Solution" in the Product Excellence
Awards at LinuxWorld Conference & Expo. The award recognizes the most
innovative and effective database solution for users of Linux and open source
showcased on the exhibit floor.
The joint solution, called TerraGrid DBScale, provides a scalable high
performance data management infrastructure within a clustered Linux
environment. This is the industry's first solution to solve file I/O problems
for database clusters using industry standard platforms and technologies such
as InfiniBand, iSER (iSCSI RDMA), Serial ATA (SATA) and Linux.
"We are extremely pleased our high performance, standards-based data
management solution has been recognized by one of the largest and most
prestigious events in the Linux community," said Arun Jain, vice president of
marketing at Voltaire. "Working with our partners and industry standards such
as InfiniBand, iSCSI and SATA, we can now provide unprecedented performance
and scalability for database users leveraging the Linux platform."
"This collaborative exercise by four leaders in innovation has vividly
demonstrated that close integration of best-of-breed commodity hardware and
software technologies can deliver real world benefits previously attainable
only on expensive proprietary platforms," said Gautham Sastri, president and
CEO of Terrascale. "We look forward to delivering this product to customers
that have long been clamoring for enterprise-class performance and scalability
at rational price points."
TerraGrid DBScale is tuned for leading database applications such as IBM DB2,
Oracle and MySQL and is ideally suited to improve performance of data
intensive applications eliminating I/O bottlenecks using native InfiniBand
storage.
TerraGrid DBScale features:
- Voltaire InfiniBand-based interconnect solutions with iSCSI RDMA for high
performance storage connectivity.
- Terrascale's TerraGrid parallel I/O platform, a commercial software
solution based on iSCSI and object storage that transforms standard Linux file
systems such as ext2 into scalable parallel file systems.
- Supermicro Mass Storage Server chassis solution featuring next generation
Intel 64-bit Xeon processors and PCI Express.
- WD Raptor SATA hard drives with enterprise-class speed and reliability
supporting tagged command queuing (TCQ) for high performance in random I/O
database environments.
