REDUCE TIME TO INNOVATION DSSD D5 unleashes the power of highperformance analytics applications DELL EMC DSSD D5 RACK-SCALE FLASH SPEEDS DECISION-MAKING AND TIME TO MARKET High-performance analytics applications are employed in a wide range of industries to solve critical business problems and drive innovation. Data scientists and business analysts typically build highly complex calculations (models) on real-time, hot data sets to deliver competitive insights for real-time decisions and predictive intelligence. These include stock trades, fraud analysis, and supply chain optimization. DELL EMC DSSD D5 RACK-SCALE FLASH These data scientists also run millions of simulations to power computer-aided applications for research spanning a wide range of areas, including gene sequencing, drug development, weather analysis, oil and gas exploration, and product engineering and design. Analytics applications often leverage massive parallelization to optimize compute and I/O as large numbers of users start jobs and access data on the same grid. Speed is the common denominator, where the ability to make better decisions faster or bring an idea to market sooner is the competitive differentiator. Benefits OVERCOMING CURRENT STORAGE LIMITATIONS Dell EMC DSSD D5 empowers your high-performance analytics applications to generate more comprehensive and reliable insights: High-performance analytics applications push the limits of today’s technologies with their massive data and compute requirements. The need to ingest and analyze huge data sets makes computing power and storage capability, measured in terms of bandwidth density (bandwidth/TB of data), IOPS, and latency, the most critical performance factors. • Analyze more data faster, perform more complex computations, and minimize time to results with game-changing bandwidth density, IOPS, and latency • Support both legacy and nextgeneration applications with flexible and native data access • Reduce costs with shared resources, minimal data center footprint, and higher performance per rack Up to this point, to achieve reasonable performance levels, applications have employed massive parallel file systems (like GPFS) and high-performance applications (like SAS) running on local file systems. The infrastructures and storage architectures currently deployed are inadequate for scaling to the higher levels of compute and storage performance demanded by these applications.

SOLUTION OVERVIEW While faster, direct-attached PCIe flash cards and SSDs have capacity limitations, require multiple copies of data, and do not provide the advantages of shared storage. In addition, with compute and storage scaling linearly in most architectures and software licenses priced on a per-node basis, organizations often end up overspending on both hardware and software to get the bandwidth and IOPS they need. Yet, in many cases, they still do not achieve the performance required by these applications. ® KEY FEATURES ® The Dell EMC DSSD™ D5™ rack-scale flash appliance solves performance and capacity challenges faced by traditional storage architectures, including existing flashbased or HDD-based products. It paves the way for innovation by providing industryleading bandwidth density, IOPS, and latency, effectively removing the performance bottlenecks that throttle high-performance analytics applications. Density and performance • 144 TB (raw), 100 TB (usable) flash • 5U form factor • Unprecedented IOPS, bandwidth, and latency High-performance architecture DELL EMC DSSD D5: THE GATEWAY TO DISCOVERY DSSD D5 provides ultra-dense, high-performance, highly available, and very low latency shared flash storage. It is connected to each node through PCIe Gen3 and TM leverages NVMe technology, which delivers the performance of PCI-attached flash. At the same time, D5 is a standalone appliance that is disaggregated from compute, delivering the benefits of shared storage. You get optimized compute and extreme bandwidth density for faster data movement, accelerating all types of high-performance analytics workloads. • Large, high-performance PCIe mesh network • Separate control and data path REDUCE TIME TO INSIGHT AND GET RELIABLE RESULTS • NVMe technology for shared flash via PCIe • Redundant connection to up to 48 clients DSSD D5’s highly dense flash leaves room for more compute per rack, accomplishing massive computations with rapid response times. Industry leading IOPS, latency, and bandwidth density accelerate data movement and provide the agility required by highperformance analytics applications. Completing workloads in hours instead of days or weeks makes your analysts more efficient and brings new products to market faster. Enterprise availability • Multi-dimensional Cubic RAID – high reliability with low overhead • Industry-leading durability with flash physics control algorithms • Dual H/A controllers and redundant components Native application access In addition, increased reliability and high availability features ensure consistent performance, providing disruption-free and reliable results. INSPIRE A CULTURE OF INNOVATION The rapid performance and simplified analytics pipeline increases analyst agility, enabling them to do more than ever done before. This agility fosters a culture of innovation by inspiring and promoting experimentation to test new ideas and hypotheses. • Block device • Native direct memory API access REDUCE COSTS • Application plug-ins The high-performance, ultra-dense, and shared pool of flash minimizes the data center footprint by up to 27 times and lowers operational costs without compromising on performance. You get more performance for your money, maximizing ROI and your application investment.
