Inline data reduction is supported on the Dell PowerScale F910, F900, F710, and F600, and F210-NVMe and F200 SSD nodes, PowerScale H700/7000 and A300/3000 node, and the Isilon F810 and H5600 platforms.
The specific OneFS versions required to support a cluster or node pool with the following characteristics include:
Unlike the other platforms above, each F810 node includes a data reduction hardware offload adapter. This adapter off-loads certain tasks from the CPU. Specifically, data compression and inflation are transparently performed by the offload adapter with minimal latency, avoiding the need for consuming a node’s expensive CPU and memory resources.
Each F810 node’s data reduction offload adapter contains an FPGA chip, which is dedicated to the compression of data received over client connections to the node. These cards reside in the backend PCIe slot in each of the four nodes. The two Ethernet ports in each adapter are used for the node’s redundant backend network connectivity.
