Storage Marvell Launches New SSD Controllers And RAID-Capable NVMe Switch

At OCP Summit last week, Marvell unveiled a new generation of NVMe SSD controllers and a unique NVMe switch that blurs the lines between a standard PCIe switch and a traditional RAID controller.

The most straightforward of Marvell's three new NVMe products is the 88SS1098 "Zao" NVMe SSD controller.

SSDs Toshiba Announces KumoScale NVMe over Fabrics Software

Toshiba is launching a new software solution for pooling NVMe-based storage in a datacenter environment. The new KumoScale software implements the NVMe over Fabrics protocol (NVMeoF) and allows storage to be access over the network with less than 20µs of added latency compared to NVMe SSDs directly attached to the local system. KumoScale provides abstraction over the individual SSDs so that multiple drives can form a shared pool of storage, from which separate volumes can be allocated to serve as storage for different services running on compute-oriented servers elsewhere in the datacenter.

Intel Announces New Optane DC Persistent Memory

Ever since Intel announced its 3D Xpoint memory (branded as Optane), the company has claimed that the new class of memory would represent a fundamental leap forward for the entire industry. Proof of these claims has been relatively slow to appear — it’s difficult to replace existing memory technologies, and the existing memory stack (spinning hard drives, NAND, and DRAM) covers a wide range of price points, power consumptions, reliability, and capacity.

New Realtek PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe Controllers: RTS5762 & RTS5763DL up to 3.5 GB/s

The market of SSDs is expanding rather rapidly, which encourages new companies to enter the scene. Realtek introduced its first SSD controller two years ago targeting primarily entry-level PCIe drives. This controller has received a lukewarm welcome from makers of SSDs, which was not a surprise as the market is quite packed. As a result, the company changed strategy and its new RTS5762 and RTS5763DL controllers that are aimed at higher-performance models. Realtek demonstrated both products at Computex.

Intel and Micron To Dissolve 3D XPoint Partnership After 2019

A press release from Intel today has clarified the state of the 3D XPoint Joint Venture the company has with Micron. Currently Intel and Micron co-developed the new class of non-volatile memory, with manufacturing at the Intel-Micron Flash Technologies (IMFT) fab in Utah. Intel’s statement today states that for the second generation of memory, the development will also be a joint effort and is expected to complete in the first half of 2019. However the third generation will be developed independently, allowing each company to focus on the separate business needs.
