Diamanti Ultima offload is a fourth-generation PCIe card which delivers I/O acceleration by offloading network, storage, security and management. This card frees up the host CPU by offloading I/O processing to deliver 10x to 30x performance improvement with low deterministic latency.
Key Benefits
Hybrid Cloud Flexibility
Provision and attach Kubernetes clusters in the public cloud and centrally manage them from a single console.
Secure Multi-Tenancy
Provide secure isolation between multiple teams and projects. Operate enterprises and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) at scale.
Application Freedom Across Clouds
Deploy, manage and migrate applications across clusters and across a hybrid cloud from a single control plane.
>95% CPU Available
Offloading storage and networking I/O frees the CPU and memory resources to power your applications.
1 Million IOPS per Node
Cloud-native storage architecture powers your data-intensive workloads and delivers dramatically low latency with near zero I/O wait.
Consistency and Control
Policy-based QoS guarantees maintain consistently high performance and low latency while eliminating noisy neighbors.
Ultimate Acceleration Features
Distributed Storage
With advanced CSI plugin that integrates with CNI plugin, Diamanti Ultima offload card intelligently adjusts network and storage resource allocations across cluster to satisfy each container’s I/O requirements.
The Ultima offload offerss a full complement of enterprise-grade data services across clusters and clouds, including:
mirroring snapshots asynchronous replication backup restore encryption volume resizing
State of art storage architecture that comes at lowest I/O overhead featuring:
zero garbage collection overhead log structured file system sequential writes to maximize drive edurance allocate-on-write snapshots thin-provisioning.
Networking
Ultima offload card with built-in advanced CNI, seamlessly integrates with standard enterprise data center networking topologies, delivering both Layer 2 and overlay network which supports:
10/25/40/100G ports static and dynamic IP assignment multiple interfaces per pod network pools and groups availability zones intelligent scheduling NVMeOF
Diamanti CNI leverages SR-IOV PCIe standard for Layer 2 networking to provide VNICs (VFs) to a pod, hiding the complexity of VF management from the user and making the pod a first-class citizen of the corporate network. The card completely offloads many networking functionalities such as:
port tunneling load balancing security compression
Performance
The card offloads Ultima data plane services to eliminate CPU overhead and utilizes full host resources for higher application performance, bringing cloud hyperscale and economics to the data center. The Ultima offload offers screamingly-fast NVMe performance with 1M+ IOPS and uniform latency of around 100µs. This is achieved, in part, by leveraging SSD’s inherent performance advantage with sequential write, controlled IO queues to the drive (WRR) and memory mapped I/O. Additionally the card also guarentees configurable networking throughput at consistent low latency independent of volume size.
QoS & Isolation
Diamanti Ultima offload provides container granular quality of service (QoS) policies with dedicated Tx/Rx queues to deliver guaranteed SLAs for I/O intensive applications. This also helps to avoid “noisy neighbor” issues and denial of service attacks. The card utlizes dynamic SR-IOV NVMe controller for each volume and networking endpoint to provide complete storage and networking isolation at PCI level.
Security
The Diamanti Ultima Offload delivers an additional layer of security by isolating traffic at both a hardware and software levels, seperating network traffic between data, storage, control and tenant. The card offloads security functions such as:
secure boot paired with host technologies (UEFI, TPM) IPSec/SSL IPTable stateful L4 Firewall volume encryption self encrypting drives (SED).
