Virident
FlashMAX
Virident FlashMAX is a Storage Class Memory (SCM) solution that offers enterprises unconditional performance combined with the industry’s highest storage capacity in the smallest footprint. FlashMAX devices range in capacity from 300 GB to 1.4 TB, in both MLC and SLC types of flash media. At just ½ length x ½ height, FlashMAX fits in any server and provides the highest capacity in a single low-profile card, enabling organizations to maximize the use of valuable data center space and reduce data center sprawl.
FlashMAX SCM has been designed from the ground up to fully exploit today’s computer architectures which leverage many fast CPU cores and the PCI Express interconnect bus to deliver maximum application performance. FlashMAX with vFAS software technology allows applications to access data in the most efficient manner possible. In addition, vFAS software enables FlashMAX devices to deliver performance over the entire lifetime of the device, even when full or nearly full. Learn more about the vFAS advantage.
Virident FlashMAX delivers:
- Memory-class performance—more than 1.4 million IOPS in a single low-profile card.
- HDD-like capacity from 300 GB to 1.4 TB in a compact, universal form factor.
- Performance without compromise over the entire lifetime of the device, across all application workloads, even when the device is full or nearly full.
- Performance delivered at the advertised capacity.
- 2x higher performance than its closest competitor when measured at near-full capacity.
- Sophisticated scheduling algorithms that allow garbage collection, grooming, and other flash management tasks to occur without impacting application performance.
- Simplified management, with 100% of capacity available as a single host volume on the server.
- Enhanced reliability and data availability through flash-aware RAID, which allows for multiple failures to occur without disrupting an application’s access to the data.
- Global wear leveling to maximize the useful life of the flash media.
