STEC’s PCIe SSA extends the promise of Solid-State technology by enabling further consolidation of modern data centers. Accelerating access to data accelerates time to money. Today's data centers and cloud computing environments require high-density servers to provide end-users with high quality service.
Enterprise data centers and cloud computing environments demand high-density, high-performance servers to ensure consistent high levels of application performance and compliance with Quality of Service (QoS) agreements.
Whether it is driving higher levels of server virtualization to support larger number of users per node in a Web 2.0 deployment, support higher transactions per second for ecommerce or financial applications, reducing the overall footprint, energy and power usage within data centers, translates into direct Capex and Opex savings for CIO and data center managers.
Today’s ‘new normal’ is doing more with less, and STEC’s PCIe SSA family of solid state accelerators meet the challenge by delivering unprecedented server consolidation while reducing data center space, energy, and power footprint.
Custom engineered from the ground up, STEC’s PCIe SSA integrates PCIe and flash technology onto a single-chip ASIC based controller. Having been built on 4 generations of STEC ZeusIOPS® SSD technology, PCIe SSA is an enterprise-class solution that delivers super low latency, high performance capabilities and enterprise-class reliability while integrating STEC’s industry-leading CellCare™, Secure Array of Flash Elements and PowerSafe™ technologies in the controller, to provide an unparalleled combination of endurance and data protection.
