The Open Compute Project storage page also references Fusion-IO PCIe storage cards with up to 3.2 TB of storagecapacity, which are used by Facebook to speed up overall storagesystem performance.
Using DDN's SFA12K-40 storage systems as the backbone for Spider II, this new file storagesystem is designed with 40 petabytes of raw capacity and is capable of ingesting, storing, processing and distributing research data at unprecedented speed.
With the right combination of capacity, performance and rapid power cycling storagesystem designs can pump more iron while keeping cool and saving energy.
By combining HDD storagecapacity with the higher performance of flash memory, a total system performance close to flash memory can be achieved with storage costs close to those of HDDs.
In addition to a higher storagecapacity than past LTO generations, LTO 5 also offers new architecture features such as the LTFS file system that turn magnetic tape into a directly addressable data source, like a hard disk drive.
