THE IODRIVE OCTAL IN A SUPERMICRO SERVER

Having conquered the big three of enterprise server vendors, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell Fusion-io, the company that uses flash memory to turn ordinary servers into super-fast storage systems has landed number four. Supermicro, the white-box manufacturer that sells its systems primarily through distributors and resellers says it has started offering Fusion-io technology in its server lineup.

At the CeBIT trade show taking place in Germany today, the pair demonstrated a server using a new Fuion-io product, the ioDrive Octal, in a Supermicro server that can do 1.4 million random input-output operations per second.

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
