Unveils New Brand and New Products at Super Computing 2018 Event News provided by Share this article SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Newisys, a product division of Sanmina Corporation (Nasdaq: SANM ), today announced that it has been renamed Viking Enterprise Solutions . The division unveiled its new brand at the Super Computing 2018 (SC18) event, taking place November 12 – 15 in Dallas, Texas. The new name was selected to better represent its expanded product portfolio for hyperscale data centers and storage OEMs. In addition to providing JBOD storage systems, Viking Enterprise Solutions has added advanced storage servers, a range of hybrid and all flash products, new NVMe-over-Fabric solutions, as well as a new set of application-specific storage software to its portfolio. "Viking Enterprise Solutions builds on Sanmina's existing Viking Technology brand of memory products and significantly increases the strategic perception and impact of these businesses for Sanmina," said Dan Liddle, vice president of Marketing at Viking Enterprise Solutions. "With JBODs, storage servers, industry leading all flash solutions and now application software, the new brand reflects our broader strategic solution set." Also today at SC18, Viking Enterprise Solutions introduced new hardware and software platforms at booth #4029, including:  NDS-41020 storage array: A new 4U, 102 drive HDD-based SAS/SATA JBOD storage array that provides market-leading density, capacity and price-per-GigaByte ($/GB). The NDS41020 is configured with 3.5 inch HDD drives having a variety of capacities from a number of component vendors, and provides cost advantages due to its smaller form factor and higher density. The JBOD connects to external servers using SAS or SATA interfaces for seamless integration into existing architectural infrastructures. This product provides the ability to scale, based on its tremendous capacity in a 4U form factor with a design that is enterprise grade, highly redundant, with no single point of failure. Additional highlights include FRU-based field repair capabilities which simplify and reduce support costs. New application-specific software packages: Viking Enterprise Solutions products support a wide-range of third-party software solutions. We now also offer two application-specific software packages: Software targeted for high performance computing (HPC) and media and entertainment (M&E) applications. This software is specifically targeted for HPC and M&E applications that require up to 5M IOPs and 22GB/s of throughput with high availability, and without the overhead of data management services. VES DRAID management software that leverages distributed RAID (DRAID) technology to deliver up to 20 percent improvement in I/O data rates. Depending upon configuration, it delivers rebuild rates that can be tens to hundreds of times faster compared to traditional non-distributed RAID arrays. Live NVMe-over-Fabrics Demonstration of Scalable Distributed Database Applications Viking Enterprise Solutions will also conduct live demonstrations at SC18 booth #4029, showcasing how its award-winning NVMe-over-Fabrics platform can reduce latency and improve resiliency and efficiency for common scalable distributed database applications such as Cassandra. The findings and research results will be discussed at a session during the Exhibitor Forum entitled Cassandra in Dockers Deployment using an NVMe Fabric on November 14th at 2:30 p.m. in room D173.
