Editor:- I learned in January 2012 - that Virident's flash management technology was originally designed to give good enterprise performance when using slower (write) NOR flash in an unreleased product. Those architectural techniques give even better performance in the NAND flash used in their PCIe SSDs. More about this in - Who's who in SSD? - Virident Systems

Editor:- November 10, 2011 - Virident Systems today announced immediate availability of its first MLC PCIe SSD - the FlashMAX MLC is a low-profile form factor module with upto 1.4TB RAID protected (7+1) capacity (1TB MSRP $13,000) and delivers over 1 Million IOPS with 20 microseconds latency.
manufacturer model description..................................................
Virident Systems FlashMAX The FlashMAX is Virident's 2nd generation enterprise PCIe SSD accelerator, following on from the tachIOn. Unlike the tachIOn - which was only available with SLC memory the FlashMAX range is available in both SLC and MLC variants.

These half length, half height modules are designed to give high capacity and performance in a small foorprint.

Virident's positioning with the FlashMAX is that it aims to provide consistent enterprise performance (relative to the variables of block size, how full the SSD is etc) rather than a product which has speed spikes which vary across storage dimensions and time.

Virident's virtualization software - vFAS transparently optimizes the the management of the flash memory array to provide RAID-like protection which can survice multiple failures without introducing additional latency.

SLC models
  • capacity:- 300, 400, 800GB
  • R/W throughput:- 1.4 GB/s / 1.1GB/s
  • IOPS:- 235,000 IOPS (4KB) assuming 75/25 r/w
  • latency:- 16us
MLC models
  • capacity:- 1TB, 1.4TB
  • R/W throughput:- 1.3 GB/s / 600 MB/s
  • IOPS:- 220,000 IOPS (4KB) assuming 75/25 r/w
