Exar Highlights Enhanced Hadoop Performance Using Hardware Acceleration at Server Design SummitDec 18, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Exar Corp., a supplier of high performance analog mixed-signal components and data management solutions, made available the "Maximizing Hadoop Performance with Hardware Compression" presentation on the Exar website. Robert Reiner, Exar's director of marketing for the Data Compression and Security products presented the information at the Server Design Summit 2012 in Santa Clara, California. Delivered as part of the Accelerating Application Performance session, the Company said the Exar presentation reviewed the challenges associated with "Big Data", Hadoop's role in addressing Big Data challenges, and how hardware-based compression increases Hadoop performance. "Hadoop clusters can experience severe I/O bottlenecks in both networking and disk accesses, which restricts the data flow and impacts performance," said Robert Reiner, director of marketing, Data Compression and Security products, Exar. "Exar's hardware accelerated compression technology significantly reduces I/O bottlenecks, maximizes Hadoop cluster performance, lowers CPU utilization and energy consumption, and optimizes cluster efficiency." Exar Corp. designs, develops and markets high performance, analog mixed-signal integrated circuits and sub-system solutions for data communication, networking, storage, consumer, and industrial applications.
