MOSCOW, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- August 8, 2016--AHA Products Group (AHA), a recognized technology leader in data compression technology, announced today that Juan Deaton, Research Scientist with AHA, will present "Improving All Flash Array Performance with Data Compression Accelerators" at the Flash Memory Summit.

As all flash arrays mature into full feature platforms, early adopter applications (such as server virtualization and on-line transaction processing) will be surpassed by industrial internet-of-things applications. These new future applications are expected to generate petabytes of ephemeral data that require high compression rates and data write throughput. In these applications, storage controller overhead from data compression can lead to increased CPU load, higher power consumption, and lower throughput. This presentation compares the performance of different data compression algorithms (LZO, LZ4, GZIP, and BZIP2). Comparisons will be shown in terms of throughput, CPU utilization, and power.

Based on performance experiments, the AHA374 GZIP accelerator card can provide the same compression throughput as 14 Xeon cores performing LZO/LZ4. Additionally, the AHA374 GZIP accelerator card increases flash memory cycle lifetime and storage capacity by almost 50% by providing better compression ratios than LZO/LZ4.

The presentation will take place on August 10, 2016, at 9:45 a.m. -10:50 a.m., Session 202-C: Flash Arrays Part 2 (Enterprise Storage Track) at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California.
