BiTMICRO revealed today its next-generation SSD Talino ASIC Architecture. This revolutionary two-tier architecture will be the basis for the company’s upcoming maxIO line of I/O accelerators and solid state drives.
The company’s new architecture begins with their Talino™ Quad Core ASIC controller, which integrates embedded processors with a high speed multi-bus design to achieve maximum performance. A single Talino SSD controller can reach up to 400,000 random IOPS at 4KB and can perform up to 4,096 concurrent flash operations. To complete the architecture, the Talino controller connects with several of BiTMICRO’s new ISIP™ ASICs.
“One of the innovative attributes of the Talino architecture is its ‘building block’ design. A single Talino ASIC can connect to as many as 60 ISIP chips, each connecting to up to eight flash die,” states Zophar Sante, VP of Marketing and Sales. “Multiple Talino ASICs can easily interconnect via a PCIe switch to create 1U, 2U and 3U complete storage systems with enormous capacities and blistering performance. These Talino-based storage systems can use 'off the shelf' front-end file systems that support FC, FCoE, iSCSI, NFS, CIFS, Ethernet and can also include volume management, virtualization and storage services software.”

Memoright, a Taiwan-based developer of SSDs (Solid-State Drives) and high-end storage devices, independently developed the QuadLife Series MLC-based solid state drive with its firmware R&D team. The QuadLife Series includes the Endurance Write firmware architecture developed by Memoright to extend the life of SSDs by more than four times compared with typical MLC-based SSDs. With four times the average life span and cost effectiveness, the QuadLife Series serves as an ideal solution for cloud computing, business servers and similar industrial PC applications.
Memoright QuadLife Series SSDs are available in capacities of 265GB and 530GB in a 2.5-inch form factor and 220GB in a 1.8-inch form factor. All are equipped with our internally developed Endurance Write firmware architecture with exclusively patented technology and algorithms to take full advantage of flash memory write blocks, which compared with the 3,000-5,000 PE cycles typical of ordinary MLC SSDs increases dramatically to more than 20,000 times. In other words, the effective life of QuadLife Series SSDs has been extended to four times or more of ordinary MLC-based SSDs.
Memoright QuadLife Series SSDs support the Memoright-patented InDrive UPS (Uninterruptible power supply), which in emergency power outage situations maintains the SSD internal power and stores data in flash memory to avoid the occurrence of abnormal bad blocks, not only ensuring that valuable information is saved, but also significantly extending the length of SSD use.
