Optimized for a balance of high capacity and performance, ideal for mixed workloads and data warehousing. Target Workloads Evaluates SQL queries directly on the
The X8M-2’s storage software automatically tiers data: significantly reducing network traffic.
Beyond these pre-configured baselines, enterprises can mix and match compute and storage nodes arbitrarily within a single rack, or link multiple racks together via InfiniBand switches to create petabyte-scale database clouds. Target Workloads
Evaluates SQL queries directly on the storage servers. Only the relevant rows and columns are sent back to the compute nodes, significantly reducing network traffic.
