Attala Systems Announce Next-Generation Storage Infrastructure Products for Telco Market
August 2017 by Marc Jacob
Attala Systems demonstrates its Composable Storage Infrastructure products with the Ericsson Hyperscale Datacenter System 8000 at VMworld 2017 in Las Vegas. Attala’s Composable Storage Infrastructure offers superior storage performance, fully-automated infrastructure orchestration, and zero-touch bare metal provisioning, resulting in greater resource efficiency and reduced TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). The combination of Ericsson’s offering, Attala’s next-generation storage infrastructure technology, Intel® Rack Scale Design (Intel® RSD), and Non-Volatile Memory Express® (NVMe) Intel solid-state drives (SSDs) has the potential to enable service providers to generate and support more clients, transactions and revenue-generating services.
Ericsson’s system uses a combination of hardware disaggregation and next-generation management software and orchestration to optimize hyperscale cloud resources for storage, compute, and networking across Private, Public, Enterprise and Telecom Cloud domains. Based on Intel RSD, the Ericsson Hyperscale Datacenter System 8000 can use the innovative service-provider specific storage capabilities within Attala’s Composable Storage Infrastructure to drive storage disaggregation and composability. Intel RSD disaggregates compute, storage, and network resources, while introducing the ability to pool these resources as needed. In doing so, it simplifies management and creates the ability to dynamically compose resources based on workload-specific demands.
Attala’s Composable Storage Infrastructure enables Ericsson’s Hyperscale Datacenter System 8000 to utilize disaggregated storage without having the provisioning, orchestration, and management headaches normally associated with disaggregated storage. By using FPGA technology as a key component of the Composable Storage Infrastructure, Attala’s solution allows rapid response to changes in product needs, while still providing the high performance and low latency necessary for cloud-based storage. The composable infrastructure also enables Ericsson to achieve the disaggregation of compute, storage, and networking that is critical to the flexibility of the Ericsson Hyperscale Datacenter System 8000. Following the demonstration at VMworld, Ericsson and Attala Systems, are planning trials with select customers.
