<div class="moz-cite-prefix">From what I've heard, DSSD is yet
another company from Andy Bechtolsheim that could have a huge
impact on the industry. As far as I know, they are still operating
in stealth mode, so there's not much information about the company
online. I think the Wrangler system was to be their first
high-profile project (that I know of), and a lot of those details
are still under NDA. <br>
<br>
Looks like they're off to a good start if EMC already bought them.

This is the technology that TACC will be deploying this year and
putting into production in January 2015:

<div>We'll see how it stacks up for uses in HPC then.</div>

<div>Nothing specific that hasn't been seen before - but
putting this together at rack scale is very impressive.</div>
<div>A petabyte of data available with extremely low
latency.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have to say though - the fibrechannel is looking
like an increasingly limited technology.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The point could be made that fibrechannel has the
ability to cope with failure, and multipathing should a
controller or HB fai - I wonder how riobust PCIe is to
failures.</div>
<div>But darn it to heck - we are in high performance
computing. My take is that you will tolerate some
fragility to get that sort of performance.</div>
