Industry-leading server OEMs now offering
unified server RAID solution for SAS, SATA and NVMe
devices
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced the broader deployment
of its NVMe hardware RAID solutions with new capabilities. As a
long-trusted supplier of silicon, chips, adapters, and software to
server OEMs and device manufacturers, Broadcom continues its
commitment to invest in Tri-Mode product development, which
includes the development of new industry standards, leading the
ecosystem enablement, and SAS/SATA/NVMe device compatibility
testing.
The Broadcom NVMe RAID family further extends its NVMe portfolio
launched in 2016, comprised of 32 NVMe hardware RAID adapters and
the 7th generation of MegaRAID® software. Additional benefits of
the Broadcom investment in NVMe include:
- Compliance to the latest Storage Industry standards (U.3,
SFF-TA-1001) and (UBM, SFF-TA-1005)
- x1, x2 and x4 direct attached device support
- NVMe drive interoperability; completed qualification with 7
drive vendors
“Broadcom’s investment in NVMe is backed by a commitment to
next-generation server RAID silicon and software, industry
standards, and robust compatibility; further enabling the ecosystem
with the critical NVMe building blocks they demand,” said Jas
Tremblay, vice president and general manager, Data Center Solutions
Group, Broadcom. “For several applications, data centers depend on
Broadcom RAID and have started deployment with NVMe drives.”
The Broadcom storage test team has been helping storage vendors
harden SAS/SATA drives for 12 years. The storage test team works
with third party drive vendors to qualify enterprise-ready devices,
giving customers confidence when selecting which components to
integrate with Broadcom storage devices. The team has developed
many test cases for NVMe drives, including Mixed Mode, Hot
Add/Remove and Stress tests while testing more than 50 drive models
to date.
Industry-leading server and drive providers are now deploying
Broadcom’s NVMe hardware RAID. This cutting-edge technology enables
customers to build flexible, high-performing, low-latency
enterprise systems across a range of applications and
industries.
Supporting Industry Quotes:
“NVMe-based storage servers, rack and flash arrays are becoming
a necessity in the rapidly changing data center and cloud computing
market, especially for those building mixed-drive hybrid solutions
for hyper-scale and big data applications,” said CT Sun, CTO
and vice president of engineering, at AIC. “Broadcom’s NVMe
Hardware RAID solutions allows us to accommodate small footprint
requirements where high-bandwidth, high-density, and
reliability is essential.”
“The addition of Broadcom NVMe RAID technology to our
data storage servers allows us to continue to enable customers to
scale their data center and cloud infrastructure at their optimal
performance-price requirements,” said James Huang, sr. product
manager at AMAX. “NVMe hardware RAID offers value to the
ecosystem, to help streamline and simplify data management for
today’s constantly growing data demands.”
“NVMe technology allows us to deliver high-performance,
high-dense storage to a wide range of applications, from
graphic-heavy, data-intensive workloads, to military deployments
where rapid deployment is critical,” said Gene Lee, president of
Echostreams. “The Broadcom family of NVMe Hardware RAID adapters
enables us to build solutions where capacity and throughput is
sustained and improved as data requirements increase.”
“FUJITSU Dual and Quad Server systems Generation M4 when
combined with Broadcom NVMe Hardware RAID helps to expand PRIMERGY
servers to broad application scenarios and will enable customers to
build expandable, cost-efficient large-scale and versatile systems
across a range of industries and applications,” said Armin Kumpf,
head of server product management and development at FUJITSU.
“Huawei has partnered with Broadcom to release the new NVMe SSD
hardware RAID solution, which enables a high reliability and more
flexible NVMe SSD solution. This solution can support RAID 1/5/6
and pass-through mode, hot-swap and has better main stream OS
compatibility,” said Qiu Long, president of the Intelligent
Computing Product Line at Huawei. “An early mover in the PCIe SSD
industry since 2005, Huawei has a 13-year deposit of experience
with enterprise SSDs. Huawei has been constantly inspired by the
notion of ‘Faster, Smarter, and Simpler’ and built the ES3000 V5
series around this mindset.”
”As storage performance requirements evolve, the ecosystem has
an increased need to provide customers with flexibility and
scalability for a wider range of NVMe, SAS and SATA solutions,”
said Sherman Tang, CTO for Jabil Compute and Storage. “Broadcom’s
Tri-Mode technology and NVMe Hardware RAID solutions are key
enabling components for versatility in adapting to provide a
solution for any customer’s applications or storage demands.”
“QCT continues to work with Broadcom enterprise storage
solutions to provide our hyperscale customers with the cutting-edge
technologies they require,” said Mike Yang, president of Quanta
Cloud Technology (QCT). “Broadcom’s NVMe hardware RAID solutions
enable the data center to build faster, flexible applications
requiring high-performance connectivity, scalability and mixed
topology support.”
“Design flexibility, especially in Hyper-V and VMware
applications, are critical for building next-generation storage and
server appliances,” said David Lebov, vice president of sales at
Source Code. “Broadcom’s Tri-Mode technology allows us to deliver
customized computer solutions to customers beginning to transition
to NVMe technology.”
“The UBM and U.3 standards help simplify the server and drive
bay infrastructure for customers, making it easy to deploy any type
of SSD, and particularly to accelerate the migration away from the
legacy 6Gb/s SATA protocol,” said Jeremy Werner, general manager
and senior vice president, SSD business unit, Toshiba Memory
America Inc. “By collaborating with Broadcom to ensure our SAS and
NVMe devices are part of a stringent testing process, we can
confidently deliver a high performing and innovative solution to
our customers.”
Two industry standards that are helping to enable the deployment
of Broadcom’s Tri-Mode family of adapters include:
- SFF-TA-1001 (U.3), which defines a common bay type for SAS,
SATA and NVMe
- SFF-TA-1005, or Universal Backplane Management (UBM), which
defines a common backplane control and management framework for
SAS, SATA and NVMe drives.
Tri-Mode, together with U.3 and UBM, will define the ingredient
capabilities to easily deploy SAS/SATA and NVMe in next-generation
server storage systems.
