“Cloud-inspired” 3D NAND SSDs for data centres, by Intel
The two families have distinct feature-set optimizations. The SSD DC P4500 Series, optimized for reads, enables data centres to get more value out of servers and store more data. Designed for mixed workloads, the SSD DC P4600 Series accelerates caching and enables more workloads per server.
The Intel SSD DC P4500 Series and P4600 Series pair Intel’s triple level cell (TLC) 3D NAND that delivers highest density with a new Intel-developed controller, unique firmware innovations and PCIe/NVMe. These SSDs deliver a blend of performance, capacity, manageability and reliability and offer game-changing value to data centres. These features will, Intel adds, accelerate the move to software defined storage with effective scaling, increase efficiency of data centres and reduce the total cost of ownership while improving service levels. Initially, the Intel SSD DC P4500 Series and P4600 Series will launch in a half-height half-length add-in card and U.2 2.5-inch form factors in 1, 2 and 4TB capacities.
Intel is also expanding Fab 68 in Dalian, China, increasing its 3D NAND supply to better meet the storage needs of customers. In October 2015, Intel announced an investment in Fab 68 and converted the facility to produce 3D NAND.
