NVMe powers SSDs in the enterprise

With the emergence of non-volatile memory express (NVMe), a scalable host controller interface specifically developed for PCIe SSDs, and a supporting ecosystem plus dedicated devices such as NVMe programmable flash controller chips, the potential of PCIe SSDs for enterprise computing applications can be fully realized.

NVMe host IP for computing accelerator

NVM Express (NVMe) SSDs are well adopted by the storage industry. It delivers high performances in term of IOPS, throughput and latency. It comes with a various range of capacity and form factors including PCIe Add-In-Card, 2.5" U.2, M.2 and recently as a single BGA chip.

NVMe IP for Enterprise SSD

Most of SSD manufacturers jumped into this new storage market with flash-based technology. A second wave of products will come in the near future, using a new generation of non-volatile memories, delivering impressive speed performances compared to NandFlash memories. The SSD manufacturers will have to deal with low latency SSD controller design in order to benefit from the new NVM features, while keeping high reliability and low power consumption. This white paper proposes a solution based on a full hardware NVMe implementation, describing its architecture, implementation and characterization.
