Performance Storage Solutions

Microsemi scales the performance storage tier with the industry’s first PCIe storage switches and fastest SSD controllers, enabling end-to-end, reliable PCIe deployment in hyperscale and enterprise data centers.

Solid-state drives (SSDs) promise to greatly enhance enterprise storage performance with faster random access to data and faster transfer rates. PCIe-based SSDs, together with the NVMe host control, alleviate the interface bottleneck. Flashtec NVMe Controllers and Flashtec NVRAM Drives dramatically boost the number of random I/O operations per second (IOPS) that a system can process, while concurrently reducing latency and power.

Systems connecting a pool of these high-performance, low-latency drives need a new class of PCIe switching solutions with robust storage features. Microsemi’s Switchtec PCIe Storage Switches enable PCIe SSD-based systems to scale, with the resiliency, programmability and advanced diagnostics needed for mass deployment. Together, Microsemi’s Switchtec and Flashtec products provide an end-to-end solution to reliably scale the next-generation performance tier of storage.

Microsemi's Flashtec and Switchtec storage solutions are deployed to enterprise storage and server developers who manufacture standards-based solutions with PCIe Gen 3 interfaces. These Flash solutions are then used in enterprise-class centralized storage systems, server caching applications, and other systems requiring high-performance storage devices. End users deploy these PCIe Flash-based systems in their data centers for cloud computing and business-critical applications, such as online transaction processing, financial data processing, database mining and any other applications that demand high performance.

Solutions for Ethernet-Based Data Center Storage

Promising improved system efficiencies and total cost of ownership (TCO), key/value Kinetic or object-oriented storage architecture offers a scalable, flexible data storage alternative for static, unstructured data. With nearly 80% of new cloud applications predicted to be big data intensive, key/value object-based storage has rapidly become the basis for hybrid cloud storage-as-a-service solutions, as well as on-premise settings facing massive unstructured data volumes.

Using object-oriented architecture, data centers can leverage numerous Ethernet innovations including:

• Quality of service (QoS), traffic engineering and connection management, as available with Microsemi’s ViSAA service-aware switch technology
• Standards-based interfaces and connectors
• Advanced stacking capabilities to align cost and power with capacity needs
• Software defined networking (SDN) for network virtualization
• Ethernet-based security solutions such as Microsemi’s Intellisec™ flow-based MACsec encryption

Microsemi offers a differentiated portfolio of Ethernet switch silicon, software and reference systems for Ethernet-enabled key/value Kinetic or native object storage systems, as well as data center management networks and IP drives. Explore our solutions for Ethernet-based object-oriented data center storage systems:

• Ethernet Switches
• Ethernet PHYs
• Secure Boot FPGAs

Microsemi has a proven track record of technology leadership with innovative semiconductor and software solutions for data center infrastructure to increase performance and enable next-generation services transforming networks that connect, store and move big data.
