ESCONDIDO, Calif. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One Stop Systems, Inc. ( OSS), the leading provider of specialized high performance computing solutions for AI edge applications, today unveiled its end-to-end PCIe Gen 4 storage solution, FSA4000, at Flash Memory Summit (FMS) being held August 6-8 at Santa Clara Convention Center.

OSS is a platinum sponsor of FMS, the world’s largest event featuring the trends, innovations, and influencers that are driving the adoption of flash memory in demanding enterprise storage applications. FMS also features the latest in high-performance computing, automotive, mobile, and embedded systems.

OSS invites attendees to stop by booth #119 to view a demonstration of the FSA4000 PCIe Gen 4 all-flash array. OSS and Liqid will demonstrate the ultra-high performance unleashed with PCIe Gen 4 for AI edge computing applications.

The FSA4000 data acquisition and storage appliance is capable of delivering up to 56GB/sec data transfer speed. The appliance utilizes Liqid’s new LQD4500 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe Add-in-Card (AIC) with capacity up to 32TB per card. Codenamed “Honey Badger” for its fierce Gen 4 performance, the card provides a PCIe Gen 4 x16 interface that can deliver up to 5M IOPS.

The FSA4000 combines the latest generation Gen 4 servers and Liqid’s Gen 4 NVMe SSDs to achieve unparalleled 56GB/s data storage throughput, doubling the performance of current PCIe Gen 3 based systems.

“OSS is committed to providing our customers with access to the latest high-performance technology they need to address their mission critical applications,” said Steve Cooper, CEO of OSS. “Working with Liqid, we are able to lead the market transition to PCIe Gen 4 by delivering flexible scale-out storage systems with a valued technology partner.”

OSS’s PCIe Gen 4 expansion platforms extend the capability of Gen 4 servers by providing scale-out multi-GPU AI training engines, AI inferencing engines, NVMe based data acquisition and high-speed storage subsystems — all integral components of AI on the FlyTMedge appliances. AI on the Fly appliances based on OSS Gen 4 expansion technology bring datacenter AI capabilities to autonomous vehicles, military, aerospace, medical, and media/entertainment applications.

According to Sumit Puri, CEO and cofounder of Liqid: “Gen 4 PCIe is unlocking opportunities in business, government and research that were simply impossible with previous interfaces, unleashing the raw data throughput required by next generation workloads. Combined with Gen 4 servers and OSS technologies, we are able to demonstrate today the amazing performance of our x16 PCIe Gen 4 Honey Badger AIC, and the tremendous value the new FSA4000 storage solutions delivers to AI deployments.”

The entire FSA4000 solution includes a 1U, Gen 4 server and an OSS 4UV PCIe Gen 4 scale-out expansion system with up to 16 LQD4500 NVMe cards. The expansion system directly attaches to the server with two OSS PCIe x16 Gen 4 links providing 512 Gbps bandwidth. In the 5U configuration, the FSA4000 provides up to 512TB capacity. The FSA storage family includes the FSA4001 JBOF, FSA4005 Ion Accelerator SAN and FSA4010 data recorder with OSS FSA data recording software options.
