SQream Teaming With X-IO for Axellio

SQream Technologies Ltd, developer of a GPU database that provides fast access and analysis of large and growing data stores at a fraction of the cost, announced its first technological collaboration with X-IO Technologies (Xiotech Corp.), in enterprise storage and advanced computing systems.

The collaboration brings a GPU-based edge computing solution, with database and storage together in one converged appliance for rapid data analytics of massive data sets.

SQream and XIO will host a special briefing entitled, Benchmark review: Delivering the fastest data analytics available on massive data stores held on April 10, 2018

The dynamic combination of technologies gives businesses new access to insights from their data that are simply infeasible with current MPP and cloud computing approaches. Enterprises can use SQream DB with business intelligence tools like Tableau to make informed decisions about critical business aspects. Business users can ask more questions about more data, without limiting scope, cutting down, aggregating or forcing DBAs to remodel the database. This allows users to expand their query windows from weeks to years to find trends, query trillions of rows of data and get results faster.

SQream DB and the Axellio Edge Micro-Datacenter platform were integrated and benchmarks performed on hundreds of terabytes, resulting in very fast analysis and short query times.

When testing with just a single node of the 2-node Axellio solution on NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, results included:

• Resource savings in terms of hardware, man-hour costs, and data center space, using the converged solution
• SQream and Axellio SQL analytics benchmark reaching 11.5TB per hour
• Ingesting and analyzing up to 1PB, queries ran up to 2.5 times faster than other flash-based hardware solutions
• Data rates were consistent at 3.2GB/s per GPU, which is more than double the peak performance measured with other solutions.

“The combination of SQream DB and Axellio represents a leap forward in offering enterprises more resources to better and more quickly understand their business and give them an edge over the competition,” said SQream CEO Ami Gal. “Together, organizations are able to analyze even larger data stores, gaining new insights faster, at much lower cost and in a green solution that requires less hardware and energy resources to maintain the systems.“

“With its flexible PCIe/FabricXpress architecture, unequaled I/O capabilities, and NVIDIA GPU support, the Axellio Edge Micro-Datacenter platform provides the best, integrated compute and storage platform in a single 2U package,” stated Bill Miller, X-IO CEO. “Axellio’s affordability and simplicity bring new levels of performance to SQream solutions.“

With a 2U form factor, the Axellio edge platform can be deployed and running in a fraction of the time and effort traditionally required while offering headroom to handle current quantities and grow with data needs. The platform is designed for extreme data processing requirements, where the speed of the answer is the key for generating value and insight. By introducing NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs, a single Axellio system processes data at teraflop speeds and gigabytes per second.
