StarWind, Intel, Mellanox, and Supermicro present the industry’s fastest hyperconverged cluster built to demonstrate outstanding hardware utilization efficiency.
EDSFF is the first industry-standard all-flash NVMe spec optimized for storage; it propels NVMe to the next level with higher density, improved manageability, and thermal efficiency. It builds on NVMe capabilities delivering 6 times more throughput and 7 times latency reduction over traditional flash storage. It works with both long (E1.L) and short (E1.S) drives and many drive manufacturers support EDSFF, giving customers broader storage options with up to one or a half petabyte density in 1U.
The San Jose, Calif., vendor this week rolled out a new model of its flagship BigTwin SuperServer optimized for Enterprise and Data Center SSD Form Factor (EDSFF) NVMe flash storage. The Super Micro storage server supports 10 EDSFF 1U Short (E1.S) SSDs and two M.2 boot drives.

Back in April we did a piece on digital storage used for the imaging of the black hole event horizon of a black hole in a neighboring galaxy (M87), 55 million light-years away, including the Western Digital helium sealed HDDs used to capture data at the 8 radio telescopes that were analyzed by astronomers at MIT and the Max Planck institute (MPI) in Germany. Since then we were contacted by Supermicro about their servers and storage used in the processing of the event horizon data to create the images. What follows is some information about what we found out.
