Development of Autonomous Networking Platform
FY 2018-19 · 2018-04-01
Summary
Our technology platform targets the Data Centres need for scalability, in particular how the Data is networked inside the centre for processing and computation. The present system uses a hierarchical “Spine and Leaf” cascade of servers that translates into larger and larger stack of equipment just to get the Data to where it needs to be for processing. Our technology adapted an approached used in some high performance computation platform to the the commercial Storage networking realm. The result is increased performance, unprecedented linear scalability, simplified management, exceptional fault tolerance, improved security plus we eliminate the external footprint, all at a significantly lower price point.

Description

The present system uses a hierarchical “Spine and Leaf” cascade of servers that translates into larger and larger stack of equipment just to get the Data to where it needs to be for processing.

Description (French)
Nos objectifs pour la plate-forme de technologie des centres de données concernant le besoin d’extensibilité, en particulier la façon dont les données sont diffusées sur l'ensemble du réseau à l’intérieur du centre de traitement et calcul. Le système actuel utilise une structure hiérarchique « colonne vertébrale et feuille » (Spine and Leaf) de cascade de serveurs, qui exige de plus en plus d'équipement juste pour envoyer les données à l’endroit où elles doivent être traitées. Notre technologie a adopté une approche utilisée dans certaines plate-formes de calcul à haute performance dans le domaine de réseautage d’entreposage commercial. Le résultat est une meilleure performance, une extensibilité linéaire sans précédent, une gestion simplifiée, une tolérance à la défaillance exceptionnelle, une meilleure sécurité, et en plus, nous éliminons l’empreinte externe, tout à un prix beaucoup plus bas.
