\t\t\t\tThis latest version of Open-E JovianDSS<\/a>, Up29r1, is aimed primarily at providing customers with a wider range of hardware options to choose from than ever before, something that\u2019s very important at the moment, given that hardware shortages are an ever-present part of life right now. With Intel\u2019s new network adapters, Areca\u2019s RAID controllers, and ATTO\u2019s HBAs all becoming compatible, Open-E JovianDSS can now provide support for data storage setups that utilize a far wider assortment of hardware options than ever before, allowing businesses to meet their requirements regardless of any supply disruptions that may occur along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

100GbE Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E800 Series<\/span><\/h2>\n

Thanks to Open-E JovianDSS Up29r1, the new 100GbE <\/span>Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E800 Series <\/span><\/a>is now supported. The aforementioned adapters are highly rated for their ability to speed up the transfer of massive amounts of data, which is crucial for data storage in enterprise solutions. Support for these adapters also means yet even more options available for customers to utilize in their ultra-fast networking setups.<\/span><\/p>\n

During Open-E\u2019s certification testing, the 100GbE Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E810 model was used both as a mirror path in the metro cluster, as well as to connect with the client machine. It was tested in both scenarios and achieved full peak performance in each, <\/span>reaching speeds of up to 100Gbps for sequential read operations<\/b>. Needless to say, it passed the certification process and is now fully certified to work with Open-E JovianDSS. It should also be noted that this 100GbE Intel Network Adapter E810 is just one variant from the larger Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E800 Series. Given that the 100GbE Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E810 passed the certification process, Open-E can now recommend using this particular variant of Intel network adapter in enterprise-grade data storage appliances.<\/span><\/p>\n
