- Significantly lower power and cooling costs, low management overhead, smaller storage footprint in the datacenter, and a much greener storage solution
- Accelerates applications, improves response times, and boosts efficiency
- Lower operational expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX)
The 1.28 TB MLC High IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second) adapter comes with many of the benefits of standard storage in addition to enterprise-class high performance of up to 100,000 sustained IOPS. The adapter is designed primarily for performance-hungry high-performance servers and computing appliances while providing the added benefits of lower power and cooling costs, low management overhead, and smaller storage footprints.
Based on standard PCIe architecture coupled with silicon-based NAND clustering storage technology, the high IOPS adapter optimized for System x racks and can be deployed in blades using the PCIe expansion units.
This adapter uses NAND flash memory as the basic building block of solid-state storage and contain no moving parts, thus it is less sensitive to issues associated with vibration, noise, and mechanical failure. This adapter is built as block devices on a PCIe bus with advanced wear-leveling, ECC, and N+1 chip-level redundancy providing unparalleled reliability and efficiency.
