I am excited to let you know that last week at World of Watson & Spark Summit EU, IBM & Lenovo, announced industry’s first 100TB Apache Spark SQL solution based on Mellanox 100GbE end-to-end networking. Apache Spark is considered the hottest Big Data software. With this solution, enterprises can run their existing SQL applications on this next-gen Hadoop/Spark-based infrastructure, generating faster insight from their business data.
The solution is based on 28 Lenovo M5 x3650 servers with Mellanox ConnectX-4 100GbE adapters and 8 Intel NVMe SSDs running IBM BigInsight/Spark. The rack is networked with Mellanox Spectrum SN2700 switch and LinkX 100GbE DAC. With industry standard TPC-DS benchmark, what was demonstrated is: Up to 5x times faster insight from data; 1/3rd of the power; and 1/5th of the floor space.
