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.

Woah.

How many SSDs does it take?

Also, how much speed do you get with just 1 of those cards?
That's some insane speeds. I thought it said 1GB/s at first, where I thought "meh, weak, done before" - but 1 TB/s is insane.

Data FTW.
This is great. Backing up 2TB of data won't take half a day anymore.

Why would you a high performance and extremely high cost storage array to store backup data?

Load? What load time?

Now we just need 1TB/s in our homes, at a reasonable price.


10 years? ...20? Never?

Same here. 1 TB/s is absolutely nuts. I can't wait until SSDs are priced similarly to HDDs.

I also read it like that, the mind just doesn't automatically think 1 TB/s.

That's compeletely absurd. I pray we get things like this in the not so distant future at the consumer level.

You couldn't tell the difference from the loadtime of Tekken 3 and Crysis!

Wow, just wow. Movie studios going to love this, helps with a the psycho amounts of data raw video pushes around. But this is gonna cost something else. I'm not even sure what I could ever hope to use this for. Maybe copy my entire video collection to another disk???
