VergeIO unveils VergeOS version 4.13, which was developed in partnership with Solidigm.
VergeIO has unveiled VergeOS Version 4.13, a transformative update developed in partnership with Solidigm, a leader in advanced NAND flash memory solutions. This release marks a significant advancement in hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) by setting new performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency benchmarks for enterprise environments.
Enhanced Testing with Real-World Block Sizes
The latest testing methodologies adopted by VergeIO focus on 64K block sizes to represent real-world virtualized environments. Unlike traditional 4K block testing, which primarily evaluates raw storage performance, 64K block testing simulates the demands of modern virtualized workloads such as virtual machines, databases, and large-file applications. These tests highlight the collaborative innovation between VergeIO and Solidigm, demonstrating their ability to deliver enterprise-ready solutions with meaningful performance gains.
VergeOS Version 4.13 introduces advanced networking optimizations that significantly reduce latency and enhance throughput, ensuring superior storage performance for enterprises.
Extreme Performance Powered by Solidigm
Solidigm conducted rigorous performance tests to showcase the capabilities of VergeOS 4.13, using mainstream hardware configurations that reflect typical enterprise deployments. Key findings include:
- 1 Million Random Read IOPS: A six-node cluster equipped with Solidigm Gen 5 NVMe SSDs and dual Gold CPUs achieved over 1 million random read IOPS using 64K blocks. This milestone was reached while maintaining sub-millisecond response times, a critical metric for enterprise workloads.
- High Random Write Throughput: The configuration delivered 485K IOPS with more than 30 GB/s throughput for 64K random write operations, also with sub-millisecond response times, showcasing unparalleled efficiency and reliability.
- Raw Performance Excellence: Using 4K blocks, Solidigm SSDs achieved a staggering 17 million IOPS, redefining the boundaries of storage performance while maintaining low-latency operation.
- Enterprise-Grade Functionality Under Load: VergeOS’ advanced data protection and deduplication features were fully operational during these tests, illustrating the platform’s ability to maintain enterprise-grade capabilities without compromising performance.
Response times were meticulously monitored by deploying separate virtual machines outside the testing cluster. This approach provided real-world accuracy, confirming that sub-millisecond latency was consistently achieved, even in “noisy neighbor” scenarios.
Roger Corell, Director of Leadership Marketing at Solidigm, remarked:
“Solidigm’s tests of VergeOS 4.13 demonstrate the unmatched performance and efficiency of our SSDs in demanding workloads. Achieving over 1 million IOPS with 64K blocks, combined with sub-millisecond latency and robust data protection, underscores the strength of our partnership with VergeIO in redefining hyperconverged infrastructure.”
Cost-Effective Scalability
VergeIO showcased the affordability of VergeOS 4.13 through its lab tests. An eight-node cluster was built using consumer-grade AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX CPUs, 96GB RAM, and 25Gbps Ethernet connectivity, demonstrating high performance at a fraction of the typical enterprise cost.
Affordability Test Results
- 1.5 Million Random Read IOPS: The cluster achieved 1.5 million random read IOPS with 64K blocks for $10,000, translating to an industry-leading cost of 0.67 cents per IOPS. Sub-millisecond response times were maintained throughout.
- 195,000 Random Write IOPS: The configuration delivered 195,000 random write IOPS with 12 GB/s throughput, effectively utilizing the network’s 25Gbps bandwidth while maintaining low latency.
Greg Campbell, founder and CTO of VergeIO added they are committed to delivering enterprise-grade performance to all organizations with VergeOS 4.13, enabling impressive results and scalable solutions using cost-effective hardware.
Introducing Live Storage Migration
The live storage migration in VergeOS 4.13 addresses the challenges posed by integrating advanced storage technologies, such as Solidigm’s 122TB QLC NVMe drives, into existing environments. These high-density drives offer exceptional capacity but require dynamic storage management to optimize performance and extend the media’s lifespan.
Live storage migration enables seamless movement of workloads between different storage tiers without disruption. This functionality ensures continuous optimization, enhances performance, and supports the adoption of high-density storage technologies.
Experience VergeOS 4.13 Live
VergeIO invites IT professionals and decision-makers to a live webinar on December 17, 2024, showcasing VergeOS 4.13 in action. The event will feature a live demonstration of the platform’s capabilities, including storage performance, live storage migration, and insights into how VergeIO and Solidigm transform hyperconverged infrastructures.
