DSSD D5 meets the demands of
databases and data warehouses
PERFORMANCE AND CAPACITY FOR REAL-TIME
ANALYTICS AND HIGH-VOLUME TRANSACTIONS
Data warehouse and database applications manage data and provide organizations
with information and insights essential for completing transactions and making timely
decisions to optimize performance and results. As the amount of data, variety of data
sources, and analytic expectations continue to expand, high-performance data
warehouses and databases are becoming increasingly more mission critical. As a
result, IT organizations are facing greater business demands to:

DELL EMC DSSD D5 OPERATIONALIZES THE DATA WAREHOUSE
BY COMBINING TRANSACTIONS AND ANALYTICS
Most organizations’ existing infrastructures cannot meet the increasing storage I/O
requirements of high-performance data warehouses and databases for transactional
data ingest (OLTP) and decision-support systems (OLAP). To consistently meet
business SLAs, most systems are physically separated and the data is often duplicated
multiple times.
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
The end result is an overly complex architecture that is inefficient, redundant, and
saddled with latency due to an intricate data pipeline designed to meet the needs of
specific workloads. This approach also results in compromises on the amount of data
analyzed, frequency of analytics, data latency, and response time, all of which impact
the quality and timeliness of insights.

BLURRING THE LINE BETWEEN MEMORY AND
STORAGE
DSSD D5 provides ultra-dense, high-performance, highly available, and very low
latency shared flash storage. D5 is connected to each node through PCIe Gen3 and
leverages NVMe™ technology, which delivers the performance of PCI-attached flash.
At the same time, D5 is a standalone appliance that is disaggregated from compute,
delivering the benefits of shared storage. DSSD D5 delivers the best of all-flash arrays
and PCIe-attached flash:
•
Dense and shared flash storage scaling up to 100 TB (usable) and shared by up to
48 compute nodes
•
Separate control and data path
•
NVMe technology for shared
flash via PCIe
•
Unprecedented IOPS, latency, and bandwidth to meet the performance-intensive
analytic workloads of today and the future
•
Redundant connection to up to
48 clients
•
Multi-dimensional Cubic RAID™, industry-leading durability and reliability, dual
highly available controllers, and redundant components for enterprise availability
•
Native application access via DSSD Flood Direct Memory API
Enterprise availability
•
Multi-dimensional Cubic RAID—
high reliability with low overhead
•
Industry-leading durability with
flash physics control algorithms
•
Dual H/A controllers and
redundant components
With D5, you can meet the four primary needs of high-performance data warehouse
and database applications:
•
Real-time analytics: Industry-leading IOPS and latency support true real-time
analytics and applications, speed up existing legacy applications by up to 10 times,
and power next-generation solutions to enable business insights that were
previously not possible
•
Consistency: Dense high-performance flash and higher bandwidth enable linear
scalability and deliver consistent response times for extreme data ingest and high
concurrency access without impacting the user experience
•
Big data analytics: High-performance tier scales up to 100 TB of data to easily
incorporate high-value big data insights into real-time business intelligence
•
Simplified data pipeline: Managing multiple workloads in a single, shared platform
simplifies the data pipeline, provides lower latency and a more agile BI
environment, and eliminates redundant hardware and software costs
