Fortissimo Foundation Solution as “Converged System”

Many layers of inefficiency in the data path

Existing Hyper-Converged Systems

The DFS (Distributed File System) is managed using a dedicated virtual machine (VM2)

The resources are organized using an appliance running in a VM. Applications and VM are not able to access directly to the HW resources

Each time you access to the hardware resources you use a virtual machine introducing many layers of inefficiency (VM1 VM2 HDD (File) VM2 VM) troughs the hypervisor every time)

Fortissimo Foundation-Converged Systems

The DFS (Distributed File System) is managed natively, No Virtualization

Applications and VMs can access the HW resources directly

Applications access the aggregated resources directly amplifying their performance

This leads to be extreme performance faster than any other existing solution

Removing layers of inefficiency in the data path and amplifies the performance of hardware

Data access time > 1000s us Data access time < 15 us

Fortissimo Foundation permits you to run applications directly in the servers and sharing the resources without using any hypervisor

This leads to being 100x time slower than native access paying a big latency tax destroying all the performance

Fortissimo Foundation Solution as “Converged System”

Existing Hyper-Converged Systems Fortissimo Foundation-Converged Systems

Slow virtualized resource access High latency, low IOPS Works only with VMs No support for native converged analytics No support for Supercomputing performance No support for VMs and bare metal applications

Ultra fast direct access, local and remote resources, not virtualized

Extremely low latency, high IOPS Runs with standard applications, not only VMs Perfect architecture for modern converged analytics Designed for Supercomputing performance Includes support for VMs, bare metal applications, containers …

Inefficiency in the data path becomes worse when you scale No overhead introduced when infrastructure scales

Latency is the most critical performance factor because it directly affects system data exchange time. Latency means lost time; time that could have been spent more productively producing computational results, but it is instead spent waiting for I/O resources to become available.Latency is the “application stealth tax”, silently extending the elapsed times of individual computational tasks and processes, which then take longer to execute. Once all such delays are accounted for, the overall system performance can drop significantly.

This is why when building or buying a new system, latency performance matters – and not just at the storage level, but across the system, through system inter-nodes and software applications.
