Fungible is a storage start-up based in California, and according to them, these test results “represent the highest recorded performance between a single server reading data and a single storage target”. This speed of 6.55 million IOPS is “almost double the previous best”. According to the Block & Files report, this record was achieved by using Fungible’s FS1600 storage node. This storage node was powered by a data processing unit (DPU) which was also designed by Fungible. Fungible claims that this technology can be “scaled linearly” to deliver a whopping up to 300 million IOPS in a single 40 RU rack.
