The best way to judge a network storage solution is how quickly and effectively it moves data between the disk and the network.
The Movidis solution has it wired.
Unconventional Wisdom
Expensive, complicated Storage Area Network or Fibre Channel disk drives were once the recommended solutions for gaining high-speed access to files on networked disk drives.
Complex interfaces were necessary because typical servers were slow, and special hardware was needed to aggregate the bandwidth of multiple servers.
Thanks to the Revolution x16, this conventional wisdom is no longer wise.
Fastest Solution on the Market
The Revolution x16 Server moves data over networks at the speed of the network. The server is based on the innovative 16-core OCTEON. Using this design in a networked storage server is truly revolutionary.
Ahead of its Time
The Movidis solution performs work in hardware that other servers must do in software, freeing up the 16-core processor for other functions.
The OCTEON's internal accelerators perform compression, encryption, and packet processing functions in hardware and in a fraction of the time that they be by conventional processor (which perform these functions in software). This frees up CPU cycles for other important functions.
No Need to Share
Typical servers connect processors to Ethernet controllers over a PCI bus, which is also shared with the disk drive controller. That means carving up the bandwidth of the bus. Since Revolution's Ethernet controllers are connected internally to the processor, the 8-channel SATA/SAS controller gets the 133MHZ, 64-bit PCI-X bus all to itself, so it can move data to and from the disk drives as fast as the drives can run.
