The 2.4 TB MLC Duo High IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second) Adapters for IBM System x and BladeCenter come with many of the benefits of standard storage in addition to enterprise-class high performance of up to 100,000 sustained IOPS. These adapters are 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 adapters are OPTIMIZED for System x racks and can be deployed in blades using the PCIe expansion units. These scalable designs come in Multi Level Cell (MLC) technologies in standard PCI-e form factors.
These adapters use NAND flash memory as the basic building block of solid-state storage and contain no moving parts, thus are less sensitive to issues associated with vibration, noise, and mechanical failure. These adapters are built as block devices on a PCIe bus with advanced wear-leveling, ECC, and N+1 chip-level redundancy providing unparalleled reliability and efficiency.
Whether enabling high-performance computing or reducing the storage footprint, IBM offers high IOPS adapters to meet your computational requirements. These adapters are compatible with a wide variety of System x servers.
