Making the Edge Efficient with Gcore and Intel Corporation In 2023, software scaling is often synonymous with the cloud, wherein mostly commodity servers are connected over a relatively poor fabric. This misconception related to software scaling introduces several performance issues. 1. Most companies store their data in one central location, resulting in up to 300 ms access latencies for some regions. 2. Within that data center, the information is often sharded into thousands of servers with virtualized storage capable of only ~50,000 operations/second/node. Every time you update your enterprise data, the signal must travel halfway around the world and synchronize countless tiny virtual machines deployed on weak and outdated hardware. Most cloud customers are forced to buy products with advertised infinite horizontal scalability, resulting in additional costs and latency penalties. But in reality, modern SSDs can reach 1.5 Million operations/second, and the customers often wouldn’t even need that scaling if the software was well optimized. As a result, a partnership has been formed among Unum, Gcore, and Intel, with a collective goal to achieve the fastest edge storage systems, targeting a minimum of 10 Million operations per second. This will be possible by utilizing Intel’s latest hardware, leveraging Gcore’s infrastructure, and incorporating the Unum transactional database technology. By doing so, we aim to provide enterprises and telecommunications companies with unparalleled access to exceptionally high-speed edge technology. https://lnkd.in/dnrynVVT
Love this. The future is here. It will soon be distributed more equally
