TMS Series-7(TM) Flash Controller utilizes advanced error correction algorithm and Variable Stripe Raid algorithm, which automatically bypasses failing chips. Scaling to 400 TB, 160 GBps, and 12.8M IOPS within 40U rack using 10 KW, RamSan-810 is suited for data warehousing, content delivery networks, data acquisition, and log file storage.
Original Press Release:
Texas Memory Systems Brings RamSan High Performance and High Reliability to eMLC Applications
The RamSan-810 leverages 33 years of design expertise in record-setting performance and reliability for the eMLC Flash storage market. It packs 10 Terabytes into a 1U enclosure with 4-GB/s bandwidth and 320K random IOPS. For read-heavy enterprise applications, the RamSan-810 offers Tier-0 performance and reliability at Tier-1 prices.
(Houston, TX) - Texas Memory Systems (TMS), recognized worldwide as delivering the World's Fastest Storage®, announces today its first enterprise MLC product, the RamSan-810. It brings Tier-0 performance and reliability to Tier-1 read-heavy workloads. The 10 TB RamSan-810 has powerful 8-Gb Fibre Channel or QDR InfiniBand interfaces and dissipates only 250 W.
Reliability of the RamSan-810 is enhanced by the TMS Series-7(TM) Flash Controller (FPGA, PowerPC based) that utilizes an advanced error correction algorithm and patented Variable Stripe Raid (VSR) algorithm. VSR automatically bypasses failing chips and is only available from TMS. The RamSan-810 is rated for a 10-year life with a 50-TB/day Write workload. With the extra TMS reliability features found in the Series-7 Flash Controller, TMS Flash products simply outlast the competition.
According to Hideo Kato, VP/Technology Executive of Toshiba America Electronic Components, "TMS' RamSan-810 makes excellent use of Toshiba's 32nm enterprise MLC NAND Flash with their advanced architecture and technology such as VSR and advanced ECC correction which improves endurance and reliability required for high-end enterprise use."
TMS CEO Holly Frost said, "Our entry into the eMLC market with the RamSan-810 is a natural evolution for us and an exciting and significant expansion of our business. Channel partners and users can now go with the undisputed leader in Enterprise Flash solutions for all their needs. The RamSan-810 scales (40x) to 400 Terabytes, 160 GB/s, and 12.8M IOPS within one 40U rack using only 10-KW. Imagine how efficiently your databases will run with this Flash storage configuration."
Data Warehousing, Content Delivery Networks, Data Acquisition, and Log File Storage are all examples of cost-sensitive applications that will benefit from using the RamSan-810. The high performance of the RamSan-810 allows eMLC users to get a cost-effective solution without sacrificing performance, I/O flexibility, or reliability.
Jim Handy of Objective Analysis said, "Although many applications can use SSDs as a fast tier in a larger array of hard drives, certain applications must maintain the entire data set in fast storage. To get both fast storage and large capacity SSDs, eMLC flash is an excellent option."
Like the SLC RamSan-710, the RamSan-810 provides a completely integrated storage system in a small 1U box. Since the RamSan-810 works like traditional SAN storage, it is quickly installed without the need for special drivers. TMS customers can now choose between the widest range of Flash offerings of any SSD provider: RamSan-710 (SLC, 5-TB), RamSan-810 (eMLC, 10-TB), RamSan-630 (SLC, 10-TB), and RamSan-70 (SLC, 900-GB, PCIe card).
