" The cracking performance needed just eight HP DL370 G6 servers, running Linux 2.6.35.6-45 on two, 6-core Intel processors, 96GB RAM. Each server was fitted with eight 2.4TB ioDrive2 Duo PCIE flash drives; that's 19.2TB of flash per server and 153.6TB of flash in total. The demo used a custom load-generator that ran at 125 million ops/sec on each server and transferred 64 byte data packets.
