SAN DIEGO.Phoenix International Systems is introducing its 3.2-terabyte VP1-250-eSSD 3U Open VPX NVM Express (NVMe) solid-state disk (SSD) data storage module.

The NVM Express (NVMe) industry-standard registered interface is designed to accelerate the performance of nonvolatile PCI Express (PCIe) SSDs. The NVMe protocol was established in collaboration by server industry leaders to standardize a scalable PCIe interface, making it easier for designers to unlock the full potential of PCIe. NVMe provides opportunities for increased data throughput and reduced latency all while reducing the number of drives needed — both now and in the future. Adoption of this industry standard is driven by a strong consortium of storage technology providers and a robust ecosystem of drivers across multiple operating systems.

The VP1-250-eSSD 3U VPX SSD storage module delivers high performance via a single Fat Pipe (PCIe 4x). Designed from the ground up to remove legacy layers of hard drive interfaces, such as SATA and SAS, it takes full advantage of the speed and parallelism of solid-state nonvolatile memory.

Streamlined efficient queuing protocol combined with an optimized command set register interface enables low latency and high performance. Data is delivered fast and efficiently with minimal burden on the host CPU.

Features of the VP1-250-eSSD data storage module include:

Out-of-the-box software, drivers, and manageability enable easy adoption and storage interoperability

Capacities from 800GB to 3.2TB

Optimized register interface and command set lowers latency

Performance:

Sequential 128KB read: 3.0 GB/s

Sequential 128KB write: 2.0 GB/s

Random 4KB read: 750,000 IOPS

Random 4KB write: 300,000 IOPS

Operating shock: 1000G/1ms

Operating vibration: 3.1 GRMS 5–800Hz @ 30 min/axis

Advanced flash management for enhanced reliability and durability Streamlined protocol with efficient queuing mechanism to scale for multi-core CPUs 2,000,000 hours MTBF

Phoenix International is an AS 9100 rev C/ISO 9001:2008-certified, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) manufacturer of rugged commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) data storage products.
