Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Express (NVMe) Technology
Overview
Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Express (NVMe) Technology
The NVM Express (NVMe) specification defines an optimized register interface, command set and feature set designed for Enterprise, Datacenter, and Client systems that use Non-Volatile Memory storage.The goal of NVMe is to unlock the potential of PCI Express (PCIe®)-based Solid-State Drives (SSDs) now and in the future, and standardize the PCIe SSD interface.
Innovative NVMe Portfolio
Microsemi scales the performance storage tier with industry’s first PCIe (NVMe) storage switches (Switchtec™), with the industry’s leading port count and signal integrity, and the Industry’s lowest power consumption (up to 60% more power efficient than other solutions). Microsemi also introduced industry’s first PCIe Gen 3 NVMe Flash Controller (Flashtec™), followed by a 2nd generation introduction of the industry’s fastest PCIe Gen 3 NVMe SSD controllers.
Actively Contributing to NVMe Standards
The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) provides standardized equipment and systems for proper NVMe operating behavior and maintains a strong reputation for independent, vendor-neutral testing with a focus on quality assurance rather than marketing or promotional goals. Microsemi works regularly with UNH-IOL to ensure proper NVMe compatibility, and directly contribute into the NVM Express Work Group as a board member.
