NV1600 Flashtec NVRAM Drive Family NV1616, NV1608, NV1604 The Microsemi Flashtec NVRAM Drive family provides a PCI Express NVRAM solution based on the most advanced NVMe controller on the market. This family provides a new level of performance to the memory/storage hierarchy, ushering storage system OEMs, cloud applications, and service providers for the era of storage class memory. Establishes New Storage Tier with Superior Performance * Non-volatile DRAM-like performance, NAND persistence T * Over 10 million IOPS * Sub-microsecond latency Faster Time-to-Market and Lower Cost of Ownership * Industry-standard interfaces * Application-friendly for ease of integration * Zero maintenance green backup * Uncompromising quality and reliability * Unlimited endurance NVRAM F Applications * "Enterprise Class" for mission-critical data center * Write cache for low-latency response time * 64-bit addressable persistent metadata memory region * Persistent shared memory for scale-out clustered systems * Small form factor for high-density rack solutions * High performance journaling or write ahead logging * Persistent cache for fast cache rebuild Included * Performance tier de-staging to sequential-access capacity tier A * Add-in card * SCM-F100/F70/F35 module and cable Benefits Cloud-Scale Performance and Availability * Unlimited Endurance: Unlike SSDs, DRAM has practically unlimited endurance, and with up to 16 GB of non-volatile DRAM memory, NV1600 drives can fit very demanding workloads as well. R While SSD solutions continue to replace traditional HDDs in the performance tier of the storage hierarchy, there remains a significant performance gap between the memory tiers and the storage tiers in terms of latency, endurance, and high availability. As application demands continue to increase at an ever growing pace to keep up with the growth rate of cloud services, relying on volatile memory to achieve desired performance leaves applications vulnerable to data loss in the event of a system failure. There is a need for a new tier of memory that provides missioncritical applications the necessary safety net for their data while keeping pace with the application requirements for performance without compromising data protection, reliability, and availability. D Flashtec NVRAM Drive products serve exactly that need, and with >10 M IOPS and up to 16 GB of memory per card, the product family can address the needs of the most demanding applications. * High Performance I/O: 1 million IOPS in NVMe block mode (4 KB); over 10 million IOPS in direct memory mode. * Power Failure Protection: Flash-based backup unit protects DRAM content in the event of a power failure. * Higher Availability: A fast backup and recovery cycle ensures that mission critical applications will have a shorter recovery time across power failure events. * Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Eliminating the UPS or BBU frees up rack space and reduces support and maintenance cost without compromising critical system data across power failures.
