Microchip Technology has announced the newest member of the Flashtec controller family, the NVMe 4016 SSD controller. the Flashtec NVMe 4016 addresses the market demand for high-reliability, high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) delivering greater than 14 GB per second throughput and over 3 million IOPS. With advanced Credit Management technology, this next-generation controller offers the stringent Quality of Service (QoS) required by today’s cloud-focused data center applications.
“Microchip is proud to announce the next generation of our Flashtec NVMe controller product line. Its market-leading performance, coupled with our proven and flexible architecture, means the NVMe 4016 can provide our cloud and OEM customers with a cutting-edge platform for their PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD controller,” said Pete Hazen, VP, Datacentre Solutions Business Unit, Microchip.
With 16 high-speed programmable NAND Flash channels capable of up to 2400 MT/s, this fourth generation Flashtec controller can utilise full PCIe Gen 5 x 4 speed bandwidth. The NVMe 4016 allows current customers to leverage their existing firmware investment in previous generations and gives new clients the confidence and flexibility to adopt this proven platform for their toughest cloud and enterprise applications.
“Microchip’s controller solutions are a strong match for our wide array of TLC and QLC SSDs and future NAND technologies," said Greg Matson, VP, Strategic Planning and =Marketing, Datacentre Group, Solidigm. “They offer a compelling combination of features, scalability and security for next-generation cloud and enterprise architectures.”
“How we rapidly promote cutting-edge technology to our clients is crucial for us,” said Zhong Ji, Deputy GM, Storage R&D, Inspur. “Maximising the benefits of reusing known generational architectures reduces development risk and effort. Having a fully mature reference solution such as the Flashtec controller PCIe Gen 5 design will definitely accelerate the efficiency and quality with which we provide leading technology to the market.”
As an NVMe 2.0 compliant controller, the NVMe 4016 not only supports all the latest storage and performance compute applications, including Zoned Name Spaces (ZNS) and cloud Open Compute Platform (OCP), its flexible architecture also enables customers to future proof for continually evolving NVMe specifications.
