Emulex mentions in
SSD history
InOctober 2009 -
Emulex expanded its
InSpeed
chip bridging technology to simplify the job of designing fast native
SAS and
Fibre-channel compatible
flash SSDs.
"SandForce is working
closely with Emulex to enable customers to build enterprise-class SSDs that
connect to Fibre Channel or SAS systems," said Thad Omura, VP of marketing,
SandForce. "Emulex's next generation InSpeed flexible bridging options
enable our SATA-based Enterprise SSD Processor, to be used with either Fibre
Channel or SAS systems. In initial testing, we've found the new InSpeed bridge
technology provides a robust and high performance solution for SSD applications."
In October
2011 -
Emulex published a white

HBAs Enhance SSDs in Tiered Storage (pdf)
In January 2015 -
Emulex announced that
its 16GFC technology was being supported in an
SSD software platform
from DataCore.

Avago
acquires Emulex for $600 million |
Editor:- February 25, 2015 - In 2014 - Avago Technologies -
which until then had not seemed much involved in enterprise storage -
suddenly got religion.
As a heavyweight interface chip and IP maker in other markets Avago
must have asked themselves - what are the key interfaces we need to be the #1
enterprise storage connect company? - especially
as more
enterprise storage becomes solid state.
And
that's the way to interpret the acquisitions (last year) of
LSI and
PLX followed now (as
announced
today) by the acquisition of
Emulex - for
approximately $606 million. | | |

How big was the
thinking in this SSD's design? |
Does size really does matter in SSD
design?
By that I mean how big was the mental map? - not how many
inches wide is the SSD.
The novel and the short story both have their
place in literature and the pages look exactly the same. But you know from
experience which works best in different situations and why.
When
it comes to SSDs - Big versus Small SSD architecture - is something which was
in the designer's mind. Even if they didn't think about it that way at the time.

SSD sudden power
loss vulnerability guide |
Why should you care
what happens in an SSD when the power goes down?
This important design
feature - which barely rates a mention in most SSD datasheets and press releases
- has a strong impact on
SSD data integrity
and operational
reliability.
This article will help you understand why some
SSDs which (work perfectly well in one type of application) might fail in
others... even when the changes in the operational environment appear to be
negligible. |
