FLASHBOX™ will be based on Kalray’s MPPA® DPU, a new generation of fully programmable data-centric processors. Whereas most advanced All-Flash Array solutions currently use multiple adapter cards with powerful CPUs (x86) that run storage services, Kalray manages to run all of the critical functions of a disaggregated storage appliance on a single chip: Kalray MPPA® DPU. This solution will be designed to deliver an unprecedented level of integration, speed and performance at an affordable cost.

The new storage array will be unveiled at a digital event in late September.

Eric Baissus, CEO of Kalray, said: “Working with Viking Enterprise Solutions, we are sharing the same vision. To be widely deployed, new technologies need to be easy to adopt and affordable. To this end, we are very proud to work with Viking Enterprise Solutions to revisit the way storage appliances are designed. Our common objective is to be a game changer with FLASHBOX™ by providing to the market a unique high performance, low power, cost-effective new generation of storage appliance based on NVMe technology.”

Rick Kumar, SVP from Viking Enterprise Solutions, said: “We want to change the way the industry uses and processes data, while unleashing the full potential of current and emerging NVMe SSD technologies, without compromising enterprise grade features like high availability and scalability. Our partnership with Kalray will provide a new generation of storage array solutions for Cloud and Edge with Kalray’s K200-LP™ best-in-class smart storage acceleration card.”

The design of the VDS2249R includes a high-bandwidth 2U enclosure with twenty-four 2.5 inch NVMe™ drives and is offered in two configurations: two 100 GbE ports or six 100 GbE ports. The 100 GbE QSFP28 network links provide NVMe-oF access to the drives without the need for a host CPU. Because the NVMe drives are shared over Ethernet, it provides performance similar to solutions with locally attached NVMe drives, delivering a combination of high performance of over 15M IOPs and extremely low latency of less than 10µs. Two fabric modules include a PCIe switch network with direct access between the NVMe drives and external 100 GbE network ports.

The VDS2249R software management interface utilizes a 1GbE side band network to support an HTML interface that communicates via Redfish APIs and includes HTTPS session support. System firmware updates are also completed via REST API and the software management interface includes a comprehensive gateway to all the features of the NVMe bridges and enclosure. This gateway includes configuration options, performance statistics and logs, bridge firmware updates, enclosure health monitoring, power supply, fan monitoring and alerts.

“The new Viking Enterprise Solutions NVMe-oF platform is a compact and highly efficient 2U platform that offers customers the scalable NVMe storage performance they require with minimal infrastructure costs,” said Greg McNeil, VP of Product Marketing at Viking Enterprise Solutions.

Features of the VDS2249R include:

• Full NVMe performance available over the network.
• Operation in either single or dual fabric modules for redundant failover.
• Management interface to control drive access control and provisioning.
• Hot-pluggable fabric modules, power supplies and drives.
• SFF-8639, PCIGen 3 NVMe (U.2) drive support (up to 25W per drive).
• Dual-port NVMe drive support.
• Standard chassis customization and branding available.
• Full-featured management interface that provides status and control of the enclosure, as well as the fabric.

The VDS2249R will be generally available in June 2021. For more information, please see the product brief.
