Virident GreenCloud Servers

SmartScaling Data Centers

GreenCloud Servers provide an excellent building block for scale-out data centers. By optimizing server efficiency for data-centric applications, GreenCloud gives the operational flexibility to meet service needs with fewer servers, meet growth requirements in the current data center footprint, and gain user insight through richer analysis to enhance a business model. GreenCloud is an ‘open server’ allowing users to run their own and third-party tools (e.g. monitoring, backup, etc) and easily integrate with existing data center management infrastructures.

GreenCloud Server for MySQL

The GreenCloud Server for MySQL delivers extreme performance improvement over industry standard servers using disk arrays or SSDs, including high-performance PCIe SSDs, on Web 2.0 workloads. Virident optimized versions of MyISAM and InnoDB storage engines directly access datasets stored in the storage class memory tier to eliminate I/O bottlenecks. GreenCloud servers sustain significantly higher query rates, dramatically lower the cost of scaling to larger datasets, and simplify the replication and sharding processes usually employed for scaling. The extreme performance additionally makes it possible to obtain new insights into data and deliver new services by running complex operations such as multi-table joins, which are beyond the reach of traditional servers.

• 50-70x performance versus Industry Standard Servers with hybrid disk/DRAM configuration on third party benchmarks.
• 5 -7x versus fastest PCIe-based SSD systems.
• Binary compatible with existing InnoDB and MyISAM databases.
• 30-35x Improvement in QPS/Watt.
• 10-15x Improvement in QPS/$.

GreenCloud Server for Memcached

The Virident GreenCloud Server for Memcached delivers a new standard of high-performance and cache size scaling for the popular distributed caching application. These servers can deliver 250K object gets per second with low and predictable latencies and support caches with up to 3 billion objects, increasing performance by up to 4x and the available cache memory by up to 8x versus industry standard servers. These performance and scaling benefits permit larger key spaces to be supported by a single server and decrease cache miss rates thereby reducing load on backend database servers.

• Industry–leading performance
  ▫ Up to 250K object gets per second w/ average size of 200-300 bytes
  ▫ Supports a larger object cache – up to 3 Billion objects
  
• Higher cache hit rates due to larger caches – up to 8x versus industry standard servers
  ▫ Lower the backend database load up to 50%
• 50-70% decrease in TCO
  ▫ GreenCloud servers can replace 4 or more traditional servers in a sever consolidation project

GreenCloud Development Server

GreenCloud Servers are also available to select partners and customers with a Development Option, which enables software developers to easily adapt their existing applications and develop new ones to exploit the GreenCloud Architecture for maximum benefits.

Virident GreenCloud Servers enable SmartScaling - meeting the challenges of data center growth while managing costs in a tough economy.
