We can hit 44 physical cores, 1.4tb ram, and 20 tb useable before the dedupe and compression.
In a single node? Wow.

What is the total core count per single host?
-
@DustinB3403 That is in a single host. Dual 22 core v4 Intel.

@scottalanmiller yessir

And then there is some custom hardware as well involved, right? Some of the clustering work is offloaded to that?

Ah ok... I was under the impression of 44 CPU's with however many cores per CPU.
Not 22 CPU's and 44 cores.

Dual CPU, 44 cores.
Thank you, so 2x22 (core).
I was about to ask for more clarification.

@scottalanmiller Yes Purpose build accelerator card. This handles the Deduplication, Compression and Serialization of all data at inception across all tiers for the life of the data. I would love to deep dive as I have a very good presentation (I think) that I can share with you.

Maybe at MangoCon?

@Minion-Queen should be able to get you all of the details, the website is here. It's a tech conference being held in Rochester NY next month.
-
Holiday Inn DownTown Rochester, NY Sept 14-16th (17th is fun day).

That would just happen to be four weeks from tonight for the opening keynote to begin.
-
There is a "group" within this site to talk about the conference. From finding hotel details, travel info, what to do around town, topics, etc.
-
@Minion-Queen I will see if we can get a seat at the table.

That would be awesome!

Guys,
I am an SA for SimpliVity in the Chicago area and I'm sorry to see the unhappiness around the presentation. I was unable to attend, but I would be happy to answer some of these items.
Dell was actually the first platform, we added Cisco and Lenovo.
The nodes run from the mid 20k to 150k,
We have a higher density per node than most. One node is the minimum, 2 provides full HA for both the compute and storage.We actually started with an SMB focus and began moving up channel. Again, very unfortunate that the messaging felt off.
Feel free to email me and I'm happy to jump on a webex to deep dive the tech and clear up anything else.
Cheers,
Rick

As one of the people that was at the SpiceCorp meet up, the presentation and presenters were decent. They taught us well and answered questions well. Except for the point on price.But for me, that is a walk away issue. For people that know my posting over the years, I have harped on this point quite a bit.
If you make me sign up for spam and marketing email/calls just to get a basic, rough MSRP, then you will not get me as a customer. Ever.
I complained to @scale for this exact same thing when they sponsored a SpiceCorp meetup in St Louis a year or so ago. The rep making the presentation immediately gave me a rough number though. Now they still don't have it on the website, but at least they were open about the rough MSRP.

Thanks for jumping in @virtualrick - appreciate the pricing details and other info! Like I said, the presentation I saw in Chicago impressed me, so happy to get more info.

Many of us have, it's been a common, recurring discussion point around vendors. As SMB IT, getting price points is more important than almost anything else. As we have more options than we can reasonably consider, we need to know which are reasonably possible and how they apply and what the target audience is up front.
