Diablo Technologies Announces Breakthrough For Faster SSDs With DDR3 RAM Slots
Diablo Technologies announced Memory Channel Storage (MCS) this week, a transformational new storage and system memory solution, resetting the bar for latency and throughput for enterprise applications. This innovative approach utilizes the industry standard DIMM form factor and native CPU memory interface, allowing MCS to be a drop-in replacement for standard RDIMMs. The architecture delivers the highest, most economical scaling of any enterprise storage solution on the market today, with persistent latencies approaching that of DRAM and linear scaling of throughput with additional modules.
MCS is compatible with any industry-standard DDR3 memory slot, allowing deployment across the full spectrum of server and storage system designs, chassis’ and form-factors. The MCS architecture is particularly attractive for blade servers, where PCIe slots are severely limited in availability and size, requiring costly and custom designs and reduced flash storage capacity.
“Flash SSDs boost system performance, and flash over PCIe is even faster, but the best performance will come from flash on the memory channel,” said Jim Handy, Director at Objective Analysis. “Diablo is on the right path by providing a way to plug flash right into the DDR memory buses on today’s servers.”
