The Flashtec-based Memblaze PBlaze4 products are targeted at
hyperscale and Open Compute Project deployments. They provide
ultra-low latency and the lowest CPU load in the industry, with
read and write capabilities of up to 850,000 I/Os per second (IOPS)
for random read and 265,000 IOPS for random write and 3.2GB/s
sequential read, 2.5GB/s sequential write performance. Memblaze
products enable its customers to define and alter key settings to
ensure optimum performance in specific applications and
platforms.
“Memblaze has achieved great success in China, growing our
market share to 60 percent since 2010,” said Mr. Xiangfeng Lu,
Co-founder and CTO, Memblaze. “We partnered with PMC because they
understand our drive to address customer requirements quickly with
differentiated products. The flexible platform of the Flashtec
controllers allows us to support multiple customer implementations
and architectures with a common design effort and tune solutions
for features like cost, performance and endurance. PMC’s
standards-based architecture means that we can get to market much
sooner and with confidence as we grow our business in China and
abroad.”
SSDs based on PMC’s Flashtec NVMe controllers provide the
highest performance, capacity and reliability. The flash memory
controller family includes 16-channel and 32-channel devices to
enable SSDs with up to 8TB of storage and performance up to 850,000
IOPS, two times greater capacity and performance than other
controllers. Dual port functionality delivers high availability for
enterprise-class application support, redundancy and sustained
uptime reliability. PMC’s Flashtec controller family supports the
industry-standard NVMe interface, multiple NAND vendors and all
common device drivers, enabling and accelerating wide-spread
deployment of PCIe-based SSDs in cloud data centers and the
enterprise.
“PMC is pleased to be partnering with Memblaze to provide the
highest performance and most advanced PCIe SSD solutions for
China’s technology and hyperscale leaders,” said Derek Dicker, vice
president of the Non-Volatile Solutions Group at PMC. “We look
forward to enabling the significant growth opportunities for flash
in China’s data centers and hyperscale deployments. Memblaze is a
strategic partner for PMC to support these critical market segments
in China and abroad.”
Note to editors: Memblaze and PMC will showcase the new
PBlaze4 flash accelerator at PMC’s Flash Technology Forum at the
Wenjin Hotel in Beijing, China, on December 3, 2014, from 1:30 to
