FUNGIBLE ACCELERATOR CARDS
Fully Flexible, High Performance, All-in-One Platform for Data-Centric Computing
Delivers unmatched performance in processing data-centric intrastructure services
200/100/50GE Storage Initiator Cards
FAC, powered by Fungible DPU, are designed to deliver unmatched performance in processing data-centric intrastructure services. With the availabiity of Storage Initiator, the FAC creates a direct attached NVMe storage experience while leveraging an NVMe/TCP storage system. Applications using Storage Initiator running on FAC will see increased availability of CPU cores, increasing performance without sacrificing utilization, security, resiliency, or accessibility.
Benefits
The cards manage all NVMe/TCP communication for the host, and in turn present native NVMe devices to the host operating system using standard NVMe drivers.
The benefits of the Fungible Storage Initiator solution include:
- Built using the world’s most powerful Data Processing Unit, the Fungible DPU™, a new category of microprocessors purpose-built for data-centric infrastructure workloads
- Allows modern data center compute servers to finally get rid of all local storage, even boot drives, allowing the complete disaggregation of storage from servers.
- Datacenters can benefit from the various hardware acceleration available on the card including compression to improve network efficiency without compromising on performance at all I/O speeds (25G/50G/100G)
- Seamless encryption of data-in-motion from the moment it is first transmitted from the host server over the network through its lifetime retention on the Fungible storage target.
- Standards-based, the storage initiator expands the usability of NVMe/TCP to a broader set of customer environments, even those without native NVMe/TCP support.
- A low-power solution in the DPU category, Fungible’s SI is capable of delivering a record breaking 2.5M IOPS to its host (FC200 card)
- Improves the CPU utilization by offloading the NVMe/TCP processing from the host, freeing up approximately 30% of the general-purpose CPU cores to run additional applications and providing significant cost and environmental savings to customers
- All the cards- FC200, FC100, and FC50 along with the innovative and high-performance Fungible Storage Cluster are managed by Fungible Composer™, orchestrating the composition of disaggregated data center resources on demand
Features
FC200
FAC with Storage Initiator comes as a standard full height half length PCIe adapter available with 2x100GbE ports and a single 1/10GbE for out of band management. The Fungible S1 DPU allows the CPU to cede all NVMe/TCP protocol processing, generating greater performance, higher utilization, and superior TCO.
FC100
FAC with Storage Initiator comes as a standard full height half length PCIe adapter available with 2x50GbE ports and a single 1/10GbE for out of band management. The Fungible S1 DPU allows the CPU to cede all NVMe/TCP protocol processing, generating greater performance, higher utilization, and superior TCO.
FC50
FAC with Storage Initiator comes as a standard full height half length PCIe adapter available with 2x25GbE ports and a single 1/10GbE for out of band management. The Fungible S1 DPU allows the CPU to cede all NVMe/TCP protocol processing, generating greater performance, higher utilization, and superior TCO..
