Kove® XPD

• 1.5 Terabyte DRAM Capacity Per 1U

  The Kove® XPD® L3 memory appliance provides up to 1.5 TB of capacity per unit. Using conventional network meshes, Kove® XPD® L3 deployments can scale linearly to achieve any level of performance or capacity.

• InfiniBand & Fibre Channel

  The Kove® XPD® L3 supports either InfiniBand or Fibre Channel interconnects. All speeds are supported: SDR, DDR, QDR and FDR for InfiniBand, and 2,4,8 gbps for Fibre Channel.

• Performance

  The Kove® XPD® L3 provides the highest continuous, sustainable performance.

• Support

  All Kove® products include comprehensive worldwide support ranging from next day to 24x7x365 two hour on-site service.

• 1.5 Terabyte Capacity Per 1U

  The Kove® XPD® L3 is the world’s first 1.5 terabyte memory mesh appliance. All capacity is usable, and performance is uniform across I/O patterns.

• Over 27 GB/sec Bandwidth

  Bandwidth can be maintained continuously and can be sustained across any duration, even years.

• Over 43 Million IOPS

  Sustained and random, not sequential. These are not burst numbers.

• 2.5 µs Read and 2.5 µs Write Response Time

  Continuous and sustained. Not subject to periodic performance jitter or “periodicity”.

• No Periodicity

  Unlike Flash and spinning disk, Kove® DRAM provides consistent, uniform I/O without performance jitter.

• Determinacy

  Each and every Kove® XPD® L3 performs all I/O identically well — small or large, random or sequential, and read/write/mixed I/O.

• Linear Scalability

  One XPD® unit provides 1X performance and 10 XPD® units provide 10X, consistently maintaining deterministic latency for any scaling.

• Instant Copy

  Instant copies are self-contained in the device. They are among the fastest in the world.

• Performance Unaffected By Occupancy

  Kove® XPD® L3 performance remains steady whether it’s 10% full or 95% full. Performance doesn’t change as the occupancy changes.

• Performance Unaffected By Reads, Writes, or Mixed Access Patterns

  The Kove® XPD® L3 performs similarly well, whether reading, writing, or doing both. The access pattern never degrades performance meaningfully.

• Uniform Performance Across Small or Large Blocks

  The Kove® XPD® L3 performs consistently well regardless of block size. Some media “tune” performance for 4K blocks, but then perform badly when using 512 byte blocks, or 1 MB blocks. The XPD® L3 performs uniformly well across all block sizes.

• Uniform Performance Across Time

  Kove® XPD® L3 performance doesn’t wear down and the media doesn’t wear out. It will run as well out of the box as it will years later. It will not require media swap-outs.

• System Health

  The Kove® XPD® L3 tracks health components for more than 100 monitorables.

• Self-Healing

  The Kove® XPD® L3 self-heals for most problems that can occur, eliminating problems before they ever are noticed. Additionally, the XPD® L3 constantly monitors health, and can report status via SSH, SNMP and syslog down to the second.

• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

  The Kove® XPD® L3 comes standard with a UPS to protect against downtime. You’ll never be bothered by another utility company power spike. If a power outage does occur, the XPD® L3 will gracefully shut down only if or when necessary to protect the data. When you bring the XPD® L3 back online after an outage, data will be where it should be.
