IBM High IOPS SSD PCIe Adapters

IBM System x at-a-glance guide

The IBM High IOPS SSD PCIe Adapters provide a new generation of ultra-high-performance storage

based on solid state device technology for System x and BladeCenter. These adapters are alternatives to

disk drives and are available in several sizes, from 160 GB to 1.2 TB. Designed for high-performance

servers and computing appliances, these adapters deliver throughput of up to 300,000 I/O operations per

second (IOPS), while providing the added benefits of lower power, cooling, and management overhead,

and a smaller storage footprint.

The IBM 320GB High IOPS SSD PCIe Adapter is shown in Figure 1.

Did You Know?

These adapters use flash memory as the storage medium, contain no moving parts, and do not have the

issues associated with vibration, noise, and mechanical failure. The adapters are built as block devices on

a PCIe bus with advanced wear-leveling, advanced ECC, and N+1 chip-level redundancy, providing

unparalleled reliability and efficiency.
