Hi, I'm Jenny Lafleur from the Flash Every product marketing team here with a special product announcement. We're now shipping a direct compress accelerator. Inside every flush array excel this key C card off loads. The inline compression stepped from the fishery CPO and deliveries deep compression rates from
00:22
the moment data is ingested. That means you can stretch your storage capacity and your storage dollar even further today, Vijay from the platform product management team to tell you all about it and what this extreme efficiency can mean for you and your business. Everyone. My name is BJ Ramakrishnan Um, a senior product
00:43
manager in the platform business unit. I am responsible for the flash at a X and X l Prada clients. I am going to be talking to you today about the new direct compress accelerator, which is a hardware accelerator for our Flasher A portfolio. Some of the salient features of this direct compass accelerator are that will offload the
01:04
inline compression from the system CPU to a dedicated F PGA card and then has a result of this will be able to accomplish deep compression even when the system is under heavy heavy law and will also be incorporating a new algorithm that improves compression in line by up to 30%. Now I'll be first talking to about the current state of compression on our flash race and then
01:30
talk to you about the benefits that the direct com has accelerated. Deli was today. We do compression in a two step process. There is an inline compression, which means compression done before the data is written to the storage media. And then deep compression is done opportunistically, which means when the system Cebu has free cycles,
01:52
there is a deeper compression that is done. So the significant think the not here is that when our compression algorithm is actually based on how we see customer workloads are done and then we always have machine learning algorithm, that is, that auto adjusts which algorithm needs to be used for compressing a specific type of data because we train our
02:22
algorithm based on customer workloads and it is able to auto detect which Al Gore them to pick based on the machine learning Bannister and we also have implemented variable block exercises in our flash a rail compression algorithm compared to many of our customers who are restricted to use a fixed block size and then here will be key. Challenged in the current process is that when the system is under heavy system,
02:55
heavy lower, they deep compression is compromised to some extent Now. We solved that by introducing this new direct compress. Excel it so we would ideally like to have deep compression as an always on process so that all the data that is ingested is always deep promised. But to implement this and software there is a large power tax by.
03:21
This is overcome when we have a dedicated F PGA to accomplish this. And how will talk about some of the benefits of using a dedicated F P G a car to do the inline congress. So first of all, the data that is industrial always passes through the direct compress accelerator, and then we are also enhancing the algorithm that is used for inline compression and in Delhi was 30% higher performance
03:51
compared to before and then finally, we are going to retain the opportunistic compression that is done when the data is already returned to the direct clash medium. So this means first we do our deep compression follow it up with an even deeper compression opportunistically. And then finally, the key benefit here is that Biggers deep compression is always done by default.
04:16
It means that even when the system is under heavy load, there is no compromise on deep compression. And this is particularly important for high capacity, high performance systems such as the flash R E X l. Thank you so much. We are really excited to bring you this new and exciting technology.
04:35
Thanks, Vijay. That's offered today's update. More details. Read the direct Compress accelerator technical bod, and you can also cheque out our purity release Highlights stage, or you'll find links to more. Boggs Video's release notes. Another information plus information about all the purity.
04:54
68 for releases. Thank you and see you again soon with their next flash Ray announcement.
