PowerScale OneFS: NFS over RDMA for Media

High resolution and high frame rate video are widely adopted for modern content creation. Adoption of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) on Dell EMC PowerScale ensures that storytellers can seamlessly use these formats. Streaming providers have turbo charged the pace of new content. PowerScale OneFS provides the performance and peace of mind that creators can keep up with the opportunities ahead

PowerScale OneFS’s new NFS over RDMA implementation results in dramatic performance increases in storage performance and reductions in workstation CPU utilization. RDMA allows for high frame-rate and high-resolution playback on PowerScale that was previously the domain of Fibre Channel SAN storage. Playing and processing this content is challenging even for modern CPUs. RDMA reduces the CPU cycles required to use network storage, reserving more cycles for displaying and processing video.
