PCIe SSD’s are delivering some amazing performance numbers, which means customers are getting very high bandwidth and performance with low latency compared to other interfaces like SATA and SAS SSD’s. The one drawback that PCIe SSDs have is the traditional card form factors which comes in HHHL (half height, half length) or the even bigger [...]
I spent the week of May 20th at EMC World, and I am still recovering! There was so much to see and do: 42 new product announcements 13,000+ attendees 400+ breakout sessions, hands-on labs, and interactive gatherings 100+ exhibitors and sponsors A presentation screen longer than a football field A wrap-around dome screen 3D theatre, [...]
As the market leader in data storage silicon solutions, Marvell understands the need for standards. Standards allow interoperability among products from different manufacturers, and interoperability drives volume. NVM Express will enable standard software drivers for SSDs with the PCI Express interface, which will in turn encourage broader adoption of these high performance storage devices. Marvell [...]
The growth of digital content, currently 50 percent per year, presents a strong secular expansion opportunity for storage over the next decade. Getting timely access to that data is essential to improving the user experience in an array of cutting edge applications. The introduction of PCIe based SSDs has shattered the performance ceiling of legacy [...]
As a leader in enterprise SSDs with a comprehensive portfolio of products including – SAS, SATA, FC and PCIe based SSDs, we at STEC believe that PCIe based SSDs are key to delivering the next level of performance possible from flash and other non-volatile memory devices. The NVMe protocol, designed from the ground up, is [...]
Oracle is a vendor of software, hardware, and integrated engineered systems with advanced system architectures that are optimized for Oracle applications from the ground up. To continue to improve the performance and reliability of our engineered systems and applications, Oracle is constantly evaluating and adopting system components and component-level innovations in processors, memory subsystems, and [...]
SanDisk believes that high performance interfaces are key to delivering the full performance potential of PCIe-based SSDs. NVMe was designed from scratch to unlock the power of these devices, providing a streamlined command and controller interface. But the key to any new interface is to create a healthy ecosystem around it. We are excited about [...]
IDT has been a key contributor to the development of NVM Express from the beginning, and we’re thrilled with the progress made to date. NVMe is a giant step forward in realizing the full potential of PCIe-based storage. While other solutions exist, including a proprietary solution by IDT ourselves, standard NVMe drivers & features are [...]
The infrastructure is coming together to support a complete NVMe based PCIe SSD solution. The NVMe specification is now at 1.0c with a new level of maturity, University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab has recently announced a program to provide compliance testing for various elements of the solution, PCIe SSD devices themselves as well as [...]
I am excited to see the tremendous progress in the NVMe ecosystem over the past few months. The Linux NVMe driver has been accepted for inclusion in the 3.3 kernel at the end of March. The Windows NVMe driver is proceeding as part of a successful collaboration with the Open Fabrics Alliance, which plans to [...]
