IDT’s PCIe Gen3 NVM Enterprise Flash Controller was recognized as Product of the Year by Electronic Products Magazine and as Best Electric Design by Flectronic…
EE times published an article by Kam Eshghi discussing how NVMe SSDs benefit the Enterprise. Click here for the article titled NVMe powers…
We're excited to announce that we just published a book that provides an in-depth look inside SSDs. "Inside Solid State Drives (SSDs)" walks the reader through all the main topics related to SSDs: from NAND Flash to memory controller, from I/O interfaces (PCIe/SAS/SATA) to reliability, from error correction codes (BCH and LDPC) to encryption, from Flash signal processing to hybrid storage. NVMe is highlighted as a key standard for the host control interface that will get the most out of PCIe SSDs and drive adoption.
With real products in the market, NVM Express is bringing flash storage via PCI Express. Kam Eshghi, NVMe Board member and Sr. Director of Marketing at IDT, talks about their latest NVMe controllers with Bill Wong of Electronic Design.
FreeBSD® recently added NVM Express drivers for PCI Express® (PCIe®)-based Solid State Drives (SSDs) to its Enterprise repertoire. Intel's Jim Harris was the primary author of the drivers with contributions from EMC's Joe Golio. The addition of NVM Express drivers positions FreeBSD as a leader of Enterprise solid-state storage technology solutions. The commit is located at http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=240616. The drivers provide an NVM Express hardware abstraction layer, an NVM Express consumer which exposes namespaces as GEOM disks, and NVM Express management utilities.
Back from a great week at the 2012 Intel Developers Forum (IDF) in San Francisco.
Sumit Puri of LSI, Steve Sardella of EMC, and myself had the pleasure of recording an audio podcast on NVM Express for Intel Chip Chat. Each of us gave our view on NVM Express and the advantages it brings to the industry and our companies individually. We also had the horror of listening to our own voices.
We attended VMWorld, and there was lots of buzz and some tremendous IT & business networking opportunities with 15,000+ attendees! VMWorld attendees are a mix of IT technical professionals and business decision-makers from organizations of all sizes, representing a wide range of industries. I co-presented an NVM Express Smart Talk in the Solutions Pavilion along with Li Zhou, VMware Staff Engineer. To a standing room only audience, Li discussed how VMware supports the goals of the NVM Express initiative. NVMe is relevant to virtualization because NVMe SSDs can be used in existing products to increase the VM density (data can be swapped to SSD).
San Francisco… the city by the bay… What could be more perfect than that? How about 14 NVM Express members in one Showcase community…
Finally getting caught up after 3 days at Flash Memory Summit. Rather than posting a normal summary of the event, two of the NVM Express members decided to take a different approach and provide observations through the eyes of someone new to the Storage market and through the eyes of a seasoned veteran.
