Microsemi's Flashtec Controller family is utilized by the world’s leading data center operators and SSD manufacturers. PMC platforms enable the industry’s largest storage capacities – up to 8TB! Additionally, compute and storage are now co-located in the data center and servers which enables higher capacity and performance.
Customers are able to write their own software as services directly into applications. PMC is enabling capacity in caching, snapshots, content and file services. Microsemi's NVMe1032 offers the highest Capacity NVMe solutions in the industry. The NVMe1032 allows the platform to provide power and performance objectives through the Enterprise NVM Express dynamic power management interface, allowing firmware to effectively manage power and performance. Emphasis has been given not only to absolute power consumption, but also to advanced power management features, including, automatic idling of processor cores and autonomous power reduction capabilities. Microsemi's NVMe1032 has been optimized for power savings using a combination of architectural and semiconductor design techniques. Flash reliability is ensured through a combination of exceptionally strong ECC and Flash channel RAID. Internal data path protection eliminates the possibility of silent data corruption. All memories are protected with SECDED ECC. Microsemi's NVMe1032 provides the data integrity and reliability features expected in enterprise class solutions. The NVMe1032 is optimized for high performance 4KB random read/write operations and performs all Flash management operations on-chip, thus consuming negligible host processing and host RAM resources and supporting standard NVM Express host control interface. The 89HF32P08CG3 is a single chip 32-channel NAND Flash controller with PCIe Gen3 x8 or dual independent PCIe Gen3 x4 (active/active or active/standby) host interface. The NVMe1032 is a member of Microsemi's Flashtec™ family of NVMe enterprise controllers. Microsemi's Flashtec™ family of NVMe compliant PCIe enterprise flash controllers dramatically boost the number of random I/O operations per second (IOPS) that a system can process, while concurrently reducing latency and power. PCI Express® (PCIe)-based SSDs together with the NVM Express host control alleviates the interface bottleneck. Solid-state drives promise to greatly enhance enterprise storage performance with faster random access to data and faster transfer rates.
