PERFORMANCE OF SUPERMICRO A+ SERVERS UTILIZING THE 3rd GEN AMD EPYC™ PROCESSOR WITH RED HAT CEPH STORAGE
Enterprise storage infrastructure and related technologies continue to evolve year after year. In particular, as IoT, 5G, AI, and ML technologies are gaining attention, the demand for Software-Defined Storage (SDS) solutions based on clustered storage servers is also increasing. Red Hat ® Ceph Storage (Ceph) is a leading SDS solution that enables high performing workloads to run efficiently. The high throughput and low latency features of modern storage devices are important factors that improve the overall performance of the Ceph cluster. Adopting a Ceph cluster utilizing NVMe Solid State Drives (SSD) maximizes the overall application performance. Supermicro designed Ceph clusters based on the Supermicro AS -2124US-TNRP storage server with the 3rd Gen AMD EPYC™ CPUs with allflash NVMe SSDs and then conducted various tests to design and deliver Ceph users with optimized Ceph configurations
