NV1600 Flashtec™
NVRAM Drive Family
Preliminary Product Brief
Product Overview
The PMC Flashtec™ NVRAM Drive family provides a PCI Express
NV-RAM solution based on the most advanced NVMe Controller on
the market. This family provides a new level of performance to the
memory/storage hierarchy, ushering Storage System OEMs and
Cloud Applications and Service Providers to the era of Storage Class
Memory.
Benefits
Unlimited Endurance
Unlike SSDs, DRAM has practically unlimited endurance, and with up
to 16GB of Non Volatile DRAM Memory, it can fit very demanding
workloads as well.
High Performance I/O
1 Million IO/s in NVMe Block Mode (4KB); Over 10 Million IO/s in Direct
Memory Mode.
Establishes New Storage Tier with Superior
Performance
•
Non-volatile DRAM-like performance, NAND persistence
•
Over 10 million IOPS
•
Sub-microsecond latency
Power Failure Protection
Flash-based Backup Unit protects memory content in the event of a
power failure.
Faster Time to Market & Lower Cost of Ownership

Industry-standard interfaces
Application friendly for ease of integration
Zero maintenance green backup
“Enterprise Class” for Mission Critical Data Center
Higher Availability
A fast Backup and Recovery cycle ensures that Mission Critical Appli-
cation will have a shorter recovery time across power failure events.
Lower TCO
Eliminating the UPS or BBU frees up rack space and reduces support
and maintenance cost without compromising critical system data
across power failures.
Applications
Uncompromising quality and reliability
Unlimited endurance NVRAM
Small form factor for high-density rack solutions
Write Cache for Low-Latency Response Time
64-bit Addressable Persistent Metadata Memory Region
Persistent Shared Memory for Scale-Out Clustered Systems
High Performance Journaling or Write Ahead Logging
Persistent Cache for Fast Cache Rebuild

Cloud-Scale Performance & Availability
While SSD solutions continue to replace traditional HDDs in the
performance tier of the storage hierarchy, there remains a significant
performance gap between the memory tiers and the storage tiers in
terms of latency, endurance and high availability. As application
demands continue to increase at an ever growing pace to keep up
with the growth rate of cloud services, relying on volatile memory to
achieve desired performance leaves applications vulnerable to data
loss in the event of a system failure.
There is a need for a new tier of memory that would provide mission
critical applications the necessary safety net for their data while
keeping pace with the application requirements for performance
without compromising data protection, reliability and availability.
Flashtec NVRAM Drive products serve exactly that need, and with
>10M IOPS and up to 16GB of memory per card, the product family
can address the needs of the most demanding applications.
