Lite-On
Storage Group, a global leader in the design, development and
manufacturing of enterprise and client solid-state drives announces the
debut of its next generation EP2 NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 3x4 storage solution
at Dell World 2015 in Austin, Texas.
In most datacenter environments, having an unacceptably high latency SSD
might not be beneficial for some enterprise applications or usage. The
importance of incorporating a high performing SSD, like Lite-On’s EP2
ensures the fastest and most consistent command response times in the
industry. With 4KB random read and 4KB write performance of up to 250K
IOPS/25K IOPS and ultra-low latencies of 35/35 (μs) Lite-On’s EP2 SSD is
the right choice for many users looking to combat latency issues.
Servers are well equipped to handle all high-performing SSDs and the
importance of having such storage devices are favorable to host CPU
efficiency for processing the I/Os.
The EP2 employs the NVMe protocol with Lite-On’s proprietary firmware
brings a unique approach to datacenter solutions. The EP2 supports
high-performance computing (HPC), server virtualization, virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI), big data, and indexing. The EP2 offers power loss
protection (PLP), scalability, end-to-end data protection, low power
consumption, high endurance, and sustained performance. The M.2 solution
can shrink your datacenter, as a high density drive it allows more SSDs
to be integrated into a single server, and reduces total cost of
ownership (TCO). With its lower power consumption and small form factor,
less power and less cooling (airflow demand) are needed, which further
reduces total cost of ownership (TCO). Lite-On End-to-End Data
Protection conforms to the industry standard of T10 DIFF to protect
against silent bit error.
“We are pleased to announce our EP2 NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD,” said Darlo
Perez, Lite-On’s Managing Director. “As the need for storage and cloud
computing solutions increase, companies are looking for ways to enhance
their IT infrastructure to handle site traffic, email/messaging, OLTP,
indexing, and many other applications. Lite-On is dedicated to focus our
R&D in developing SSDs to reduce latency and increase performance by
combining Lite-On’s unique firmware. We will be able to reach data
centers and a vast array of clients looking for high-performance
solutions in the hyperscale and enterprise markets.”
Lite-On will also be exhibiting its full range of client SSD solutions,
which includes the CV3 and CX2 series SSDs. The CX2 series utilizes the
latest NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen 3x4 solution for client PCs. With low latency,
outstanding performance, the CX2 will be one of Lite-On’s highest
performing client drive designed specifically for the PC enthusiast and
for workstations that have a high demand for storage solutions.
Capacities will reach up to 1TB.
The CV3 series TLC SSD will be adopting a new controller with the
low-density parity-check (LDPC) algorithm and TLC flash. By implementing
the controller’s LDPC error-correcting technology, Lite-On extends the
CV3’s using TLC endurance as much as 33%, hitting reliability levels
previously only attainable with MLC flash.
