eBay has deployed 100 terabyte of flash memory system to power its VMware virtual server infrastructure. Nimbus' deployment at eBay started with one system and expanded to 12 systems in less than a year.
The Nimbus solution delivered near line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI performance to the VMware hosts, while consuming 78 per cent less energy and 50 per cent less rackspace than conventional disk-based solutions, claims the company.
The system also gave SAN and NAS software capabilities of Nimbus Sustainable Storage platform.
