In today dynamic business environment, composable IT infrastructure helps you create a business agility that is critical to your success. Falconwitch allows you to allocate the PCIe devices to dynamically configure your systems to create your own composable IT infrastructure which meet your diverse application needs. Falconwitch plays the key role in a rack-scale disaggregation to achieve hardware composability.
Composable Systems Meet Varied, Evolving Customer Needs : Composable systems make a large collection of IO and acceleration devices available to multiple compute hosts. Individual systems are dynamically configured to users’ specifications. These systems may provide high-performance, big data volume or high throughput configuration. Users receive isolated, precisely tailored and cost effective systems which can evolve for changing workload or business needs.
Dynamic Resources Allocation to Boost Datacenter Utilization Rate : Falconwitch provides the ability to move a PCIe resource from server to server in a rack quickly, seamlessly and easily. The ability to rapidly deploy the PCIe resources means that an enterprise doesn’t need to acquire equipment specifically for peak utilization requirements, but rather flex the environment during times when the peak need is present. With the right provisioning of resources, capital expenses can be reduced with the initial purchase, as well as ongoing hardware purchases.
Studies have shown this can drive 100–300 percent greater utilization for virtualized workloads and 200–600 percent greater utilization for configured IT resources.
Optimize the GPU Peer-to-Peer Memory Copies : Falconwitch integrates up to 16x GPGPU as one powerful HPC solution. In order to get the most of GPU horse power, the peer-to-peer has been implemented across different GPUs. Applications can avoid unnecessary system memory copies and transfer the data among GPGPU and NVMe to eliminate CPU bandwidth and latency bottleneck.
Ultra San Storage up to 30M IOPS and 120Gb/s : Want sub-microsecond response time and 30M IOPS data service for your dynamic data? Falconwitch integrates 128 NVMe SSD and hundreds of HDs in one powerful storage solution to address the need of hot, warm, and cold data, and of placement on the most suitable storage layer.
MR-IOV Resources Sharing among Hosts to Fully Utilize the Bandwidth, Deploy the VF as Required and Reduce the Latency : Falconwitch can make SR-IOV-ready PCIe card work as MR-IOV card to even boost the utilization and lower latency. With direct access I/O, SR-IOV capable adapters running in shared mode among all connected host allow the operating system to directly access the slice of the adapter that has been assigned to its partition, so there is no control or data flow through the hypervisor. From the partition perspective, the adapter appears to be physical I/O.
