How many SSDs does it take?
Also, how much speed do you get with just 1 of those cards?

Based on its ioMemory technology, Fusion-io developed a custom-designed PCI Express card called the ioDrive Octal card. What this product is capable of doing is simultaneously hold eight ioMemory Modules, becoming a card with the combined capacity and performance of eight ioDrives in one. In using this invention, the company was able to achieve the 1TB/s sustained bandwidth with just 220 ioDrive Octal cards, through I/O servers attached to Infinband and running the Lustre parallel file system. This is a major improvement compared to the alternative for reaching such a bandwidth. With normal technology, 1TB/s would barely be achievable by using close to 55,440 disk drives, 396 SAN controllers, 792 I/O servers and 132 racks of equipment. Fussion-io's method uses less than 1/20th of the rack space required by such an aggregate. |

An individual PCIe x16 2.0 double-wide PCI Express ioDrive Octal is able to reach 800,000 IOPS (4k packet size), and can provide a sustained bandwidth of 6GB/s on its own. |
