Industry's First NVMe-oF SSD Converter Controller Lowers TCO

The Marvell 88SN2400 converts NVMe SSDs to NVMe-oF SSDs for optimal high-performance disaggregated storage, reducing TCO for cloud and enterprise data center applications

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (August 10, 2018) - Marvell® (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced the industry's first NVMe over Fabric™ (NVMe-oF™) solid state drive ( SSD) Converter Controller 88SN2400. Engineered and optimized to convert NVMe™ SSDs to NVMe-oF SSDs, this controller offers a revolutionary architecture to increase SSD utilization and scalability in the data center, ultimately reducing total cost of ownership (TCO ). By enabling low-latency access on the network fabric and making the entire SSD bandwidth available to the network, Marvell controllers enable truly scalable and high-performance computing disaggregated storage. The 88SN2400 uses a simple, low-power, and compute-free Ethernet network fabric instead of a traditional PCIe® network controlled and managed by an enterprise-class server SoC with an integrated 100GE controller.

As data volumes continue to soar, data centers are grappling with the challenges of increasing power consumption, complexity, and rising costs associated with the need for greater storage bandwidth and capacity. Compute and storage remain underutilized, while storage servers are often overloaded, resulting in ever-increasing CapEx and OpEx. Marvell's SSD converter controllers offer data center operators and designers greater flexibility in developing their infrastructure with optimized scalable disaggregated flash storage and storage-class memory (SCM) to meet changing workload demands.

SSD converter controllers are powering an innovative class of low-power, low-latency, and high-performance Ethernet-connected Array of Flash (EBOF) drive storage devices. In a typical high-end 2U24 shelf (shelf) with Gen3x4 SSDs, the 88SN2400 can support up to 18M input/output operations per second (IOPS). By leveraging Marvell's 2Tb/s-capable Ethernet switches and the Marvell 88SN2400, data center operators will be able to benefit more from 150Gb/s piped, pooled storage, with less per input/output operation compared to general-purpose architectures lower power consumption. The new SSD converter controller is optimized for small form factor applications, can be connected to existing backplanes, is very easy to use, and eliminates a single point of failure. The technology can also be used in Marvell's future SSDs and emerging SCM controllers.

Nigel Alvares, vice president of SSD and data center storage solutions at Marvell, said: "As the cloud and enterprise data center markets increase deployments of flash storage and emerging storage-class storage to meet ever-increasing and diverse workloads such as artificial intelligence and analytics requirements, and more importantly, the optimal utilization, efficiency and scale of these expensive resources. Our converter controllers enable disruptive disaggregated NAND and SCM SSD architectures where resources can be combined, configured and scaled in real time. distribution, thereby lowering the total cost of ownership for cloud and enterprise data center applications.”

"Through our long-term partnership with Marvell, we share a strong commitment to innovation in storage technology," said Shigeo (Jeff) Ohshima, executive officer of SSD application engineering at Toshiba Memory CorporaTion. "The development of our Ethernet direct-attach NVMe-oF SSD prototype uses With the new Marvell 88SN2400, the vision of this close collaboration is to help our data center customers achieve higher performance, lower cost and lower power consumption.”

John Chen, vice president of TRENDFOCUS, commented, "The Marvell 88SN2400 is the industry's first NVMe-oF SSD converter controller, an innovative solution that enables existing NVMe SSDs to implement NVMe-oF architecture. Provided to the network, it can improve operational efficiency and reduce data center costs. Compared to direct attached storage, the Ethernet capabilities of this solution will enable access to remote storage nodes while minimizing additional latency, making the The solution becomes a very attractive technology for the industry.”
