High-speed controller and storage module for defense and industrial uses introduced by Elma
FREMONT, Calif., 11 April 2014. Elma Electronic Inc. in Fremont, Calif., is introducing model 5335/6 high-speed controller and storage embedded computing module for defense and industrial applications ranging from ground, ship- and airborne systems to signals intelligence, engine and automation control, and mission critical information systems.
The data storage device supports as many as eight SATA III ports and more than 2 terabytes of onboard capacity in one 3U VPX slot. The board is an expansion to Elma's 533x 3U VPX storage family.
The model 5335/6 is seen as a PCI Express Gen2-by-8 connection to the host as it provides the link to a storage array where capacities exceed 8 terabytes across four slots and where data bandwidth exceeds 1 gigabytes per second.
With RAID 0/1/5/10 support, the storage array system can be configured to make the most of bandwidth or provide data redundancy. The onboard controller provides an additional six SATA III backplane ports.
Using solid state drives, the convection-cooled versions operate in temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius, and the conduction-cooled versions operate from -40 to 75 C.
