FMS: Everspin and Phison Partnering
To bring spin torque transfer MRAM to next gen enterprise SSD controllers
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on July 31, 2019 at 2:10 pmEverspin Technologies, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) persistent memory solutions, announced Phison Electronics Corp. will provide native support for its 1GB STT-MRAM memory in its next generation enterprise SSD controller lineup.
Phison controllers with Everspin’s 1GB STT-MRAM enable storage system designers to increase the reliability and performance of systems where performance data persistence is critical. This is accomplished by delivering protection against power loss without the use of super-capacitors or batteries.
Phison is shipping more than 600 million controllers annually and demonstrating its capabilities and position at the forefront of enterprise technology. These controllers with the Everspin 1GB STT-MRAM part offer storage system designers more effective management of I/O streams, creating a higher degree of latency determinism. It also allows storage OEMs to improve QoS.
“As enterprise SSD manufacturers seek smaller form factors and increased performance, STT-MRAM delivers high-speed, non-volatile write buffer which enables higher performance and storage density,” said Rizwan Ahmed, Everspin VP marketing. “By partnering with Phison, we’re bringing our 1GB STT-MRAM technology to next-generation enterprise SSD controllers.“
“Adding native support for Everspin’s 1GB STT-MRAM to our controllers enables our hyperscale and enterprise OEM customers to increase performance, reduce latency and dramatically improve QoS,” said CS Ma, Phison CTO. “Everspin’s STT-MRAM is the best solution available for SSD designers to optimize footprint, performance, endurance, and reliability.“
The two copanies will be hosting a technical session at the Flash Memory Summit conference in Santa Clara, CA (August 6-8) to provide insights on MRAM use-cases in enterprise applications. Everspin will also be delivering the opening keynote at the MRAM Developer Day on August 5 to kick off the combined MRAM/FMS conferences, as well as other technical sessions and panels at both events.
