MIDDLETON, Mass. - illiNews -- StarWind, Intel, Mellanox, and Supermicro present the industry's fastest hyperconverged cluster built to demonstrate outstanding hardware utilization efficiency.
StarWind, a leading provider of hyperconverged IT environments for SMB and ROBO, conjoined its effort with the leading hardware vendors to build a large environment capable of delivering enough performance to break the current industry speed record. The similar setup was used before by Microsoft to set its HCI industry high score. The only difference is that we managed to squeeze maximum performance out of the underlying storage thanks to the effective symbiosis of hardware and software.
By building such environment, StarWind, Supermicro, Mellanox, and Intel demonstrated that HCI performance high scores should be not about IOPS but more about efficient hardware utilization. Every time faster disks will appear, others may chinch higher number of IOPS just because their storage may be more powerful by design or there may be more drives in servers. However, the only thing that matters in this race is hardware utilization efficiency. Moneywise, this means that you can get all the IOPS that you paid for. What's the use of an all-flash array that provides you only a mere fraction of the performance that you expect? Remember: the number of IOPS that you can squeeze from the underlying storage is minute, hardware utilization efficiency is eternal.

Production-ready StarWind HyperConverged Appliances built on Supermicro SuperServer chassis were used for the test setup. We used Mellanox ConnectX-5 NICs and Mellanox SN2700 Spectrum 100GbE switches for interconnect. The only thing that made the servers in our test environment different from ones that we spec was Intel Platinum processors – the top-notch CPUs provided by Intel.
