The company has set out to fuse standalone high-performance server technologies into a faster organic whole.Computer companies are pretty much selling boxes while others are selling networking. They're basically just selling component technologies. If you just speed up the processor or speed up the interconnect or add in flash drives, it will have a small effect.
The observation is that the company needs to make a shift and to put the middleware application and (our) new operating environment together with these technologies--tightly coupled with parallel flash memory and with Intel multicore processors. As opposed to loosely coupled, in order to bring their real inherent benefits through.
A team of scientists and engineers did the workload characterization and the modeling and the engineering and the optimization and have been able to accomplish an eight times improvement in throughput performance.
The company's core innovations, such as extremely fast parallel thread switching between the (processor) cores are, in essence, technologies to accelerate processing on the server computer.
The company uses IBM System x3650 M2 servers outfitted with Intel Nehalem processors and 512GB arrays of Intel solid-state drives.
They are big fans of (Intel) Nehalem multicore processors as well as their flash drives and in close cooperation both with their systems group with the processor as well as their NAND (flash) group.
