How can an appliance architecture benefit you?
PureData System features a unique AMPP™ architecture that combines open IBM blade servers and disk storage with IBM’s patented, hardware-accelerated data filtering, using field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This combination delivers fast query performance on analytic workloads and adapts to changing business queries with no additional indexing or tuning required.
IBM PureData System for Analytics Architecture:
A Platform for High Performance Data Warehousing and Analytics
How can you deliver analytics faster?
With blazing fast servers and an AMPP™ architecture, PureData System delivers advanced analytics at greater speeds. Each S-Blade is an independent server containing powerful multi-core CPUs, multi-engine FPGAs, and gigabytes of RAM, all balanced and working at peak performance. Designed with ample headroom, the system's CPU cores are equipped to run complex algorithms against large data volumes for advanced analytics applications.
7 S-Blades
- 2 Intel®10 Core Ivy Bridge CPUs
- 2 8-Engine Xilinx® Virtex®-6 FPGAs
- 128 GB RAM + 8 GB slice buffer
- Linux 64-bit Kernel
*Single server rack configuration
How can you scale to analyze more data?
Built for high volume data warehousing, PureData System offers workload-specific models that scale to meet an organization’s current and future needs. The family of seven configurations starts with a data capacity of 16 TB (N3001-001) and can grow to well over a petabyte for an eight-rack system (N3001-080), assuming a 4X compression rate.
