TRANSCRIPT
FinTech Demands PerformanceTime is money – reducing latency and increasing transac-tion rates helps grow the bottom line.
Persistence is Needed for Accountability The needs of shareholders, government regulators and customers also demand accountability. Transactions need to be logged synchronously before the next transaction can be started, creating a significant bottleneck that slows transaction velocity.
High Speed and Non-volatile, TogetherThe nvNITRO Storage Accelerator enables high-speed transactions to be logged as completed before they are written to the final media location. This high-performance, non-volatile memory enables the system to begin the next transaction with the confidence that the previous transaction is logged to a secure location without any risk of data being lost.
Accelerated Storage BuffersThese storage accelerators can also be used to accelerate reads and writes of data from high performance computing (HPC) applications. Simulations can be sped up optimizing the time to recommendation for financial analysts.
Advanced NVMe Over Fabrics (NVMeOF) SupportThe SMART Storage Accelerator can act as a high perfor-mance remote direct memory access (RDMA) storage loca-tion, pooling critical data as a shared central pool.
Persistence Helps Manage RiskPersistence means that transactional data is never at risk from loss due to power inter-ruptions. This reduces the risk of failure typically associated with batteries or supercapacitors but also reduces potential servicing issues that bring downtime and lost productivity.
