Overview:
Extreme Performance – Moving Data Closer to the CPU
The Intel® SSD DC P3608 Series taps into the power of the NVMe™ interface to deliver new levels of PCIe® perfomance and ultra-low latency. When paired with multi-core Intel® Xeon® processors, the SSD’s unique NVMe dual controller architecture enables highly efficient scalability, evenly distributing I/O across the PCIe 3.0 x8 link to obtain real-world transfers of over 5GB/s bandwidth and up to 850,000 random read IOPS.
Extraordinary Capacity – Doubling the Max Capacity
Enabling capacities of 1.6, 3.2, and 4TB in a single PCIe 3.0 x8 low profile add-in card, the Intel SSD DC P3608 Series can provide twice the capacity in the same physical volume versus the Intel® SSD DC P3600 Series.
Exceptionally Easy – Upgrade Existing Systems Today!
The Intel SSD DC P3608 Series are ready to be deployed right out of the box. They come in a common, industry-standard form factor: PCIe 3.0 x8, half-height, half-length, low-profile add-in card. And they’re designed to work with industrystandard NVMe software and drivers.
The Need for High-Performance Storage in the Data Center
The digital service economy is driving the move to cloud computing, benefiting a wide range of users. Developers can launch innovative new services in minutes. IT can reduce operational and capital expenditures, while increasing resource utilization. And consumers and business users can instantly access new, rich, high-value services from anywhere.
Cloud services are also driving increased demand for real-time analytics and High-Performance Computing (HPC) capabilities. These compute- and data-intensive workloads help businesses solve their most complex challenges. By 2018, 60% of businesses are forecast to require HPC solutions, and 40% of HPC will be available on demand in the cloud1 – workloads that require new levels of storage performance and capacity.
Raising High-Performance Computing Even Higher
The Intel® SSD DC P3608 Series delivers the extreme performance and extra-ordinary capacity today’s realtime analytics and HPC workloads need.
The PCIe 3.0 x8 interface doubles available bandwidth to reduce I/O bottlenecks, while NVMe fuels the CPU with data much faster than SAS or SATA. In one HPC burst buffer use case, a single node achieved a total write bandwidth of up to 6GB/sec using two Intel SSD DC P3608 Series.
Coupling high-performance Intel SSD DC P3608 Series storage with the world’s largest supercomputers can help solve some of HPC’s biggest scalability challenges, including cost, performance, resiliency, and energy efficiency.
