Supermicro unveils AI-optimized storage powered by Nvidia

The dual-port JBOF architecture is designed for active-active clustering, ensuring high availability for scale-up storage applications as well as scale-out storage such as object storage and parallel file systems. The systems support 24 or 36 SSDs, with a maximum capacity of 1.105PB of raw storage using 30.71TB SSDs.

“Our balanced network and storage I/O design can saturate the full 400 Gb/s BlueField-3 line-rate realizing more than 250GB/s bandwidth of the Gen 5 SSDs,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro, in a statement.

As part of its collaboration with Nvidia, Supermicro is creating a new JBOF ecosystem including data platform company Hammerspace and object storage provider Cloudian to enable these storage infrastructure software platforms to run natively on the BlueField-3 DPU.
