Broadcom Announces Production Availability of Industry’s First 100G Programmable Storage Adapter with NVMe-oF Support
07 Août 2018 - 09:15PM
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) today announced production availability
of the Stingray™ PS1100R 100G PCIe adapter solution for Ethernet
connected NVMe™ over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) storage applications. The
PS1100R adapter card provides an out-of-the-box storage fabric
enabled solution for next generation Just a Bunch of Flash (JBOF)
and Fabric-attached Bunch of Flash (FBOF) appliances.
The Stingray SoC offers significant advantages by integrating
Broadcom’s market-proven 100G NetXtreme® Ethernet NIC, eight
high-performance 3GHz 64-bit ARM® v8 Cortex®-A72 cores, hardware
accelerators for cryptographic security, RAID and Dedup, and PCIe
Gen 3.0 connectivity. This high level of SoC integration minimizes
the overall power consumption and chip area compared to multi-chip
solutions. The open and highly programmable ARM based architecture
of the Stingray provides a flexible software defined
platform. Fabricated in a 16nm FinFET+ process, the Stingray
enables the highest available A72 CPU performance to deliver
breakthrough data plane acceleration and storage performance in a
compact form factor.
Key Features & Benefits
- Highly optimized 100G Ethernet NVMe-oF storage target
adapter
- RoCEv2 for low latency data access and high I/O
performance
- NVMe/TCP for ease of disaggregated storage deployment in any
TCP network
- Hardware offload for RAID/Erasure, dedup and security to
accelerate storage services
- Software defined storage enabled by eight high performance 3GHz
A72 ARM cores
- Standard PCIe form factor supporting PCIe based storage
JBOFs
“Our Stingray SoC provides industry leading bandwidth and IOPS
in a low power footprint specifically designed to fit into small
adapter form factors like the PCIe half-height, half-length
standard,” said Dan Harding, vice president of marketing of the
Compute and Connectivity Division at Broadcom. “The production
availability of the 100G adapter card is an important milestone for
Broadcom and the industry in general as it enables immediate
deployment of NVMe over Fabrics. The programmability of the
Stingray device gives customers multiple transport options
including RDMA and TCP, as well as the ability to evolve with
future standards.”

“We have a good history of working with Broadcom and believe
their new Stingray adapter will help enable a new generation of
NVMf composable infrastructure as it delivers extreme performance,
availability and storage offload functions in a standard PCIe
adapter,” said Scott Hamilton, senior director of product
management at Western Digital’s Data Center Systems business unit.
“We look forward to collaborating with Broadcom to help enable new
breakthrough levels of scalability, efficiency and performance for
Fast Data and Big Data applications.”
Ziv Serlin, co-founder and VP of Architecture for E8 Storage
commented, “E8 Storage is focused on providing a high performance
NVMe storage solution that makes flash deployment as seamless as
possible. We’ve worked with Broadcom to integrate our E8 Agent
software with Broadcom's Stingray solution to offload
computing resources and deliver host performance acceleration in a
PCIe adapter form factor. The unique capabilities of the
integrated Stingray NIC solution are ideal for the data intensive
applications such as analytics, genomics, and AI / ML that E8
Storage's customers are known for.”
“Broadcom’s Stingray 100G PCIe adapter was an easy choice as the
core SoC solution to drive our portable peta-scale computational
storage solutions,” said Dr. Rick Carlson, CEO of Agylstor. “The
eight A72 ARM CPUs at 3GHz coupled with well thought out hardware
acceleration in the Stingray SoC enables us to provide dramatic
performance within an extremely low power envelope.”
