securitybreach Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 6TB of DRAM, 38TB of SSD flash and 120TB of disk storage Big data analytics people are constantly panning for nuggets of gold, and Cray has just the machine for them — its Urika-XA. Said to be a single-platform entity, consolidating a wide range of analytics workloads previously needing separate systems, its design has been optimised for compute- and memory-intensive and latency-sensitive workloads. Cray’s Urika line has been around for four years and is an appliance-like product for analysing big data, essentially chewing through numbers looking for relationships between things. It was introduced by Cray’s YarcData division and called a graph analytics appliance. Now we have Urika-XA as a turnkey, scale-out, analytics appliance. Cray says it has hot hardware: over 1,500 cores, 6TB of DRAM, 38TB of SSD flash and 120TB of disk storage. Stick the working set data in and munch through it with sharp processing teeth. http://www.theregist...a_urika_moment/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
