PHAT-DATA^40G is a consolidated solution that provides Hadoop users with best-in-class performance and ease-of-use. Mellanox’s 40GbE solutions provide AMAX’s Intel Xeon E5-2600 based servers and STEC’s 960GB PCIe SSD with leading throughput and latency performance that minimizes response times and delivers the highest of IOPS performance over the lifetime of the device. Powered by Zettaset’s installation and management tools, the PHAT-DATA^40G provides customers with a one-stop shop for a performance-leading Hadoop solution.

When compared with other Hadoop solutions, PHAT-DATA^40G delivers a minimum 20 percent performance enhancement, well above existing available solutions. Using Terasort, PHAT-DATA40G is able to sort a 1TB dataset in less than 27 minutes using only 5 machines; 20 percent faster than previously possible. Customers can upload their datasets into PHAT-DATA^40G and immediately source business intelligence information from their data, saving time and money on lengthy experimental deployments.

“High-bandwidth and low-latency interconnects are critical hardware platform ingredients in order to provide industry-best performance capabilities to Hadoop based applications,” said Gilad Shainer, vice president of market development at Mellanox Technologies. “We are delighted to collaborate with AMAX, STEC and Zettaset and bring Mellanox 40GbE performance benefits to the emerging Big Data market.”

“PHAT-DATA^40G is a collaborative effort with industry technology leaders to build the highest-performing Hadoop solution running on optimized hardware, with ease of use and simplified deployment as a shared vision,” said Jean Shih, President, AMAX. “Data is gold if it’s organized and analyzed correctly, and in highly competitive markets, this translates into reaching more revenue faster and on a larger scale, yet with precise incision. PHAT-DATA^40G powers Hadoop with the most powerful and user-friendly engine on the market for this very goal, to give companies a real competitive edge quickly and dynamically using data-driven business intelligence.”

“STEC’s enterprise-class PCIe drive complements Mellanox’s high-speed interconnect and AMAX’s latest Intel server technology, resulting in leading-edge Hadoop scalability in less than 12U of rack space,” said Keith Brown, STEC’s Systems and Software Group Vice President of Product Marketing. “By working closely with our partners, we’re able to showcase an accelerated Hadoop environment that is ideal for organizations that want to start using Hadoop to see how it can impact their business.”

“PHAT-DATA^40G breaks through the hype surrounding Big Data and delivers a complete, enterprise grade Big Data Hadoop-in- a box solution,” said Jim Vogt, CEO of Zettaset. “Mellanox, AMAX and STEC listened to what their customers were asking for and built a comprehensive hardened product that takes the guesswork out of any enterprise level Hadoop deployment.”
