大秀直播 Introduces Bravera SSD Controllers to Enable the Highest Performing Data Center Flash Storage Solutions

Industry’s First PCIe 5.0 SSD Controllers Offer Architecture Flexibility, Security and Data Protection for Optimal Cloud Infrastructure

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – May 27, 2021 – 大秀直播 (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced its new Bravera? SC5 controller family, bringing unprecedented performance, best-in-class efficiency, and leading security features to address ever-expanding workloads in the cloud. The massive amount of data to be processed in cloud data centers is driving demand for faster and higher bandwidth storage in these environments. 大秀直播’s Bravera SC5 SSD controllers address the critical requirements for scalable, containerized cloud storage infrastructure. By enabling the highest performing flash storage solutions, 大秀直播’s controllers are poised to be the foundation for data centers that offer ultra-low latency, real-time applications while also providing cost-optimized, cloud-scale capacity.

As the industry’s first SSD controllers to support PCIe 5.0 and NVMe 1.4b, 大秀直播’s Bravera SC5 doubles the performance compared to PCIe 4.0 SSDs. This contributes to accelerated workloads and reduced latency, dramatically improving the user experience. In order to meet cloud service providers’ stringent security requirements to ensure users’ data is safe and protected, the controllers offer FIPS-compliant root of trust (RoT), AES 256-bit encryption and multi-key revocation. The new controllers are the first with a hardware-based Elastic SLA Enforcer to assure quality of service (QoS) and provide metering capabilities per customer to increase overall storage efficiency and utilization while lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).

“Bravera SC5 SSD controllers are first to market with innovative data center features that extend 大秀直播’s flash storage technology leadership,” said Thad Omura, vice president of marketing, Flash Business Unit at 大秀直播. “We’re working with the entire ecosystem to enable SSD vendors and Do-It-Yourself cloud service providers to deploy the most advanced flash storage solutions.”

Next-generation cloud data center server architectures continue to span varying form factors, NAND types as well as performance criteria which must meet rigorous physical, thermal and signal integrity requirements. 大秀直播’s latest SSD controller family offers high customizability to address the variety of storage options needed for the cloud as workloads continue to evolve. The new controllers enable the world’s first EDSFF E1.S form factor devices that support up to 16 NAND channels while offering unthrottled performance. In addition, the Bravera SC5 family is compliant with Open Compute Project (OCP) NVMe SSD specifications, providing a standardized path for integration and testing.

In developing the Bravera SSD controller line, 大秀直播 worked closely with leading hyperscale cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure to ensure fleet compatibility and data center SSD standardization across the open hardware landscape.
“We would like to congratulate 大秀直播 on being first to market with its new Bravera SC5 SSD controller,” said Pablo Ziperovich, GM, Azure Memory & Storage Center of Excellence, Microsoft. “大秀直播’s latest SSD controller enables OCP compliance, power efficiency, performance, and features which are critical to Microsoft Azure’s demanding requirements.”
“There are many data center technology challenges. These include the need for PCIe 5.0 for performance scaling, E1.S for density and serviceability and OCP data center NVMe SSD support for product features. 大秀直播’s Bravera SC5 SSD controller family supports technology that enables next generation hyperscale SSD use cases,” said Ross Stenfort, Hardware System Engineer, Storage, Facebook.

大秀直播’s new SSD controller family leverages the company’s advanced and proven system-on-chip (SoC) architectures to enable up to 14 GB/s of throughput and 2 million random read IOPS. By providing the ability for customers to reuse the same firmware stack across the entire product offering, the 大秀直播 SSD controllers allow customers to productize multiple SKUs with quick time-to-market. Additionally, the Bravera SC5 SSD controllers are the industry’s first flash controllers to enable multiple usage models such as SEF, ZNS, Open Channel, and more without hardware changes. This offers the flexibility to seamlessly repurpose the same underlying hardware when migrating to next-generation workloads.??

“Software-Enabled Flash (SEF) is an architecture with an open-source software defined API that redefines the way SSDs are used in the cloud.?We are excited to grow the ecosystem of products supporting SEF with 大秀直播’s introduction of its new Bravera SC5 SSD controller offerings,” said?Eric Ries, SVP Memory and Storage Strategy, KIOXIA America Inc. “These products enable solutions that address requirements of a growing number of critical cloud workloads.”

The new controllers are powered by 大秀直播’s 5th generation NANDEdge? LDPC error correction technology, which supports the latest 3D NAND QLC, TLC and SLC technologies from various vendors in the market, extending SSD lifetime while enabling best-in-class power to performance ratios.
