US 2018/0024964 A1 · DISAGGREGATED COMPUTE RESOURCES AND STORAGE RESOURCES IN A STORAGE SYSTEM

Abstract

A storage cluster with disaggregated compute resources and storage memory is provided. The storage cluster includes a plurality of blades coupled as the storage cluster, each of at least a subset of the plurality of blades having solid-state storage memory therein. The storage cluster includes a switch that direct network-connects a plurality of processors, as compute resources in the plurality of blades, and the solid-state storage memory in each of the at least a subset of the plurality of blades, wherein the compute resources and the solid-state storage memory are disaggregated in the storage cluster.

Dependent claims

A storage cluster with disaggregated compute resources and storage memory, comprising:

a plurality of blades coupled as the storage cluster, each of at least a subset of the plurality of blades having solid-state storage memory therein;
and
a switch that direct network-connects a plurality of processors, as compute resources in the plurality of blades, and the solid-state storage memory in each of the at least a subset of the plurality of blades, wherein the compute resources and the solid-state storage memory are disaggregated in the storage cluster.

A storage system with disaggregated compute resources and storage memory, comprising:

one or more chassis;
a plurality of blades in the one or more chassis and having solid-state storage memory in at least a subset of the plurality of blades;
and
a switch, with the solid-state storage memory in the at least a subset of the plurality of blades direct network-connected to the switch, and a plurality of processors, as compute resources in the plurality of blades direct network-connected to the switch such that the compute resources and the solid-state storage memory are disaggregated in the storage system.
