Delivering high speed, low latency, and high efficiency, this 1650GB Flash Adapter F1650 Enterprise Value for System x brings scalable and optimized performance to distributed scale-out architectures at low cost. It is designed primarily for cost-efficient high volume servers and computing appliances to maximize compute efficiency while providing the added benefits of lower power and cooling costs, low management impact, and smaller storage footprints.
The Flash Adapter uses flash memory as its storage medium, contains no moving parts, and does not have the issues associated with vibration, noise, and mechanical failure. Itr is built as a block device on a PCIe bus with advanced wear-leveling, advanced ECC, and chip-level redundancy, providing exceptional reliability and efficiency. It can provide lower operational expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX) in applications that require high storage I/O performance compared to solutions that use a larger number of hard disk drives and solid-state drives to achieve equivalent performance.
