General News

▤ Summary

The technology is based on software-defined block storage, Excelero NVMesh, Western Digital SSDs and Ultrastar and Mellanox Infiniband 200 Gb/s network interfaces. USTI can be implemented and used in several ways; within the chosen architecture in a ‘native’ format, providing block storage functionality, or in combination with the main parallel file systems. Cosimo Gianfreda, CTO of E4 Computer Engineering comments: ‘USTI is the ideal solution for todays infrastructures and applications, which need to have a latency close to zero. USTI is equipped with Mellanox Infiniband network cards, which have the dual purpose of reducing latency and increasing efficiency, improving security and simplifying automation in the data centre. Davide Villa, business development director EMEAI, Western Digital:‘We participated with great enthusiasm in the E4 Computer Engineering project for the new Green Data Center of the University of Pisa.
