| no magic bullet to shorten
how long it takes to verify design and build processes in Bullet Train SSDs |
Editor:- April 26, 2018 - Aspects of the
journey to get TB industrial SSDs approved for use in
China's
bullet trains were
announced today
by CoreRise
which beat 7 other competitors and has been supplying batches of its SSDs for
onboard use in these world's fastest running (200 mph) passenger trains
since 2016.
CoreRise's Product Manager said - "Before mass
production, there are more than 500 items of the tests in 57 categories to be
passed. Moreover, the test standard is very strict. It need not only to conform
to the customer requests or nominal standards, but also enough safety
redundancy, and guarantee the reliability and consistency of technical
performance."
Editor's comments:- The interesting thing in this
story is how the customer qualification processes and verification tests for
reliable operation in harsh environments for electronics take longer than
the original design of the SSD. That’s one of the distinguishing
characteristics of the industrial SSD business and sets it apart from consumer
and enterprise markets. | | |

| SuperCloud rebuilds RAID
20x faster with CoreRise |
Editor:- July 3, 2015 - CoreRise today
noted some record
breaking performance results from one of its customers -
SuperCloud (a well known Chinese
cloud server manufacture) based on a configuration with
CoreRise's PCIe
SSDs in a 4U server with 2x 56Gbs
InfiniBand ports.
Among other things SuperCloud said its lab results showed that
RAID rebuilding was 20x
faster than without the SSD - using a RAID5 configuration of 6D+1P. While RAID
throughput was 10 to 14GB/s and 1 to 1.5 million 4KB
IOPS.
CoreRise
said that its enterprise grade PCIe SSDs have been widely deployed in the area
of cloud computing, internet infrastructure, education, government and
communications. | | |

Its ASIC
based implementation supports upto 1.6TB capacity, 275K IOPS (4KB) and 2GB/s
throughput in half-height half-length.
Software support includes
Windows Server, Linux and virtualization such as Xen, Hyper-v, as well as TRIM.

| CoreRise discloses thinking
re SSD controllers |
Editor:- September 24, 2014 - I've noticed
some
news updates recently from CoreRise.
Viewed
singly the content appears lightweight and more like tweets than the
usual kind of news I would write about on the
SSD news page - but when
viewed as a total set they give a useful picture of technology directions
at CoreRise.
In the space of single week CoreRise reported visits from
Seagate (re SF3700
controllers), Micron (re
flash memory), SMI
(re controllers) and also JMicron
(re controllers).
CoreRise also made a refreshingly candid comment
about its own attitude to the kind of reference designs which
SSD controller makers
typically offer SSD oems as a quick to market route to market (in which the SSD
maker simply takes the design from the controller maker as a ready made IP
solution and simply just adds their own memory.
CoreRise said that
due to quality considerations - and its own expertise - "as a rule,
CoreRise never uses the reference design due to potential defects. In the
past CoreRise has found critical bugs in almost every such solution." | | |
