Benefits
Comparable performance to SMP when running•
Oracle 10g at a fraction of the cost.
Faster deployment of clusters for Enterprise.•
High Availability configurations meets Enterprise•
standards for uptime.
Hot swappable components eliminates•
maintenance downtime.
Gateway connectivity to either 4G Fibre Channel or•
10G Ethernet Networks simplifies management of
networks.
Oracle RAC Certified means Oracle support.•
Significantly improves cluster computing•
application performance.
Eliminates the need for separate physical server•
connections to storage and network resources.
Pool and share I/O between servers.•
Simplifies data center design and reduces•
operating costs.
Requires up to 1/3 less power and space than•
competitive solutions.
Key Features
Up to 480 Gb/s of switching capacity in a single•
system.
4x single data rate (SDR)/double date rate (DDR)•
InfiniBand (IB), 1/2/4Gb/s Fibre Channel and 10Gb/s
Ethernet Virtual I/O interface options.
Fully-redundant power supplies, fans and logic•
components.
Up to 22 Infiniband ports in a single chassis.•
Up to 4 10Gb/s Ethernet ports in a single chassis.•
Up to 16 4Gb/s Fibre Channel ports in a single•
chassis.
The SilverStorm 9020 Enterprise Cluster Accelerator (ECA) is the smallest
member of the powerful 9000 family of Multi-Protocol Fabric Directors. The
9020 ECA is an ideal solution for customers who need the performance and
scalability of InfiniBand and require connectivity to Ethernet or Fibre Channel
Networks.
Platform for Enterprise Database Clusters Using Oracle RAC 10g. The 9020
ECA is a cost-effective InfiniBand solution that powers Oracle clusters up
to six times faster than Ethernet systems. Unlike competing InfiniBand
products, SilverStorm delivers an Oracle-certified solution comparable in
performance to larger SMP solutions at a fraction of the cost. The 9020 ECA
meets the largest demands from Oracle today – and can grow when needed
to meet the demands of tomorrow.
Virtual I/O Integration. The 9020 ECA incorporates the innovative Virtual
I/O Controller (VIC) technology. VIC modules installed in a 9020 ECA enable
hosts on InfiniBand fabrics to transparently access either Fibre Channel
or Ethernet networks or both. VIC modules utilize Virtual HBA and Virtual
NIC technology creating a virtual pool of network and storage resource
connectivity. VIC technology eliminates the cost and complexity of running
multiple server physical connections for storage, network, and inter-
processor communications, and allows each virtual network type to scale
independently over a “single wire” connection.
Fabric Scalability. The 9020 ECA is a cost-effective solution that bridges
Enterprise networks with the performance of InfiniBand. Unlike competing
IB products, SilverStorm delivers a cost-effective, Director-class platform
capable of bridging existing Enterprise Networks such as 4G Fibre Channel
and 10G Ethernet. The 9020 ECA is also flexible enough to grow with the
customer as requirements demand.
