“3D NAND technology heralds a new era of flash
storage with high performance, high capacity and low cost being
available at the same time for users,” remarked Shannon CEO Yang
Xueshi. “Shannon has always been a frontrunner for research in this
area. By utilizing 3D NAND, we provide a staggering capacity of
12.8TB on a single SSD drive. This is a milestone for the SSD
industry.”
Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba has already
deployed Shannon’s PCIe SSD products in large scale and seen
significant performance improvements in mission-critical systems
and being able to handle more intensive and larger workloads during
peak times, serving more than 120,000 transactions per second in
the last “singles day” sales event on November 11.
Positioned as the input/output bottleneck
“killer”, the enterprise-grade Shannon Direct-IO PCIe SSD flash
stands out among its peers for its high performance level,
resilience and reliability.
In terms of reliability, Shannon adopts advanced
signal processing, error correction and RAID technologies to ensure
reliable data storage in addition to DRAM-less technology, which
eliminates the need to flush DRAM buffered data when encountering a
sudden power loss.
Further to the Direct-IO PCIe SSD upgrades,
Shannon also unveiled a 3D-NAND based nonvolatile memory express
(NVMe)-based SSD line. This line of products comes out with access
latency less than 15μs, more than 2GB/s read/write bandwidth while
achieving all the performance with a typical power consumption less
than 6W.
With customers ranging from e-commerce,
government, education to finance, Shannon Systems provides SSDs and
solutions for enterprises such as travel website Qunar,
telecommunications providers China Telecom and China Unicom and
partners such as IT and electronics industry leaders Inspur,
Huawei, Lenovo and HPE.
“Innovation is coded in Shannon’s genes and we
are committed to help enterprises handle larger scale workloads
with our unique set of technologies and solutions,” added Yang.
