Do you need to accelerate the performance of your mixed use applications?

HPE NVMe Mixed Use (MU) SSDs are best suited for high I/O applications that require a balanced performance between reads and writes to deliver high performance and endurance for data intensive applications. NVMe SSDs communicate directly to applications via the PCIe bus to boost I/O bandwidth and reduce latency. HPE High Performance NVMe MU SSDs provide high performance, lower latency data transfers from storage significantly faster than SAS or SATA SSDs. Designed to utilize the high bandwidth of PCIe Gen3 and PCIe Gen4 in select servers for mixed use workloads such as Big Data analytics, HPC and virtualization. HPE Mainstream NVMe MU SSDs are advanced data center drives optimized for greater performance and endurance in a cost-effective design. Designed to utilize the high bandwidth of PCIe Gen3 on mixed use workloads that require outstanding IOPS per watt and cost per IOPS as an upgrade path from SATA SSDs.

Do you need to accelerate the performance of your read intensive applications?

HPE NVMe Read Intensive (RI) Solid State Drives (SSDs) are best suited for applications requiring a strong blend of high read IOPS, low latency and high endurance at a strong price point. NVMe SSDs communicate directly to applications via the PCIe bus to boost I/O bandwidth and reduce latency.

HPE High Performance NVMe RI SSDs provide high-performance data transfers from storage, at rates faster than SAS or SATA SSDs. Designed to utilize the high bandwidth of PCIe Gen3 and PCIe Gen4 in select servers for workloads high in reads such as read caching, web servers and boot/swap.

HPE Mainstream NVMe RI SSDs are advanced data center drives optimized for greater performance and endurance in a cost-effective design. Designed to utilize the high bandwidth of PCIe Gen3 on read intensive workloads that require outstanding IOPS per watt and cost per IOPS as an upgrade path from SATA SSDs.

The HPE XP7 Flash Module Device is a FMD unique to XP7. It combines MLC NAND flash and a SAS interface with a custom ASIC controller for superior flash performance. The FMD form factor is larger than traditional SSD and therefore is available in capacities of 1.7 TB, 3.5 TB, 7 TB and 14 TB. They are configurable in a variety of RAID types in the same fashion as other drives and is compatible with all XP7 firmware and software features.

The XP7 Flash Module Device supports wear levelling. In a flash memory each write or erase cycle stresses the cell which in turn causes deterioration of the cell over time. This might cause an imbalance in the cell activity which creates an irregular distribution of these unstable cells thereby impacting the life of flash.

The flash controller monitors the number of writes, erasures and refreshes to eliminate these imbalances by balancing the rate of deterioration in the flash memory cells. This helps in extending the useful lifetime of flash.
