  • General Nvme FAQ
    General NVMe FAQ 1. What is NVMe? NVMe, more formally NVM Express, is an interface specification optimized for PCI Express based solid state drives. The interface is defined in a scalable fashion such that it can support the needs of Enterprise and Client in a flexible way. 2. Is NVMe an industry standard? NVM Express has been developed by an industry consortium, the NVM Express Workgroup. Version 1.0 of the interface specification was released on March 1, 2011. Over 80 companies participated in the definition of the interface. 3. What is the legal framework of the NVM Express organization? The legal framework is structured as a Special Interest Group (SIG). To join a company executes a Contributor/Adopter agreement. There are 11 member companies who have board seats and provide overall governance. The Governing board is called the NVM Express Promoters Group. There are seven permanent seats and six seats filled by annual elections. Contributor companies are all free to participate in regularly scheduled workinG sessions that develop the interface. All Contributors have equal input into the development of the specification. 4. Who are the companies that form the NVM Express Promoters Group? The Promoters Group is composed of 13 companies, Cisco, Dell, EMC, IDT, Intel, Marvell, Micron, NetApp, Oracle, Samsung, SanDisk, SandForce (now LSI) and STEC. Two elected seats are currently unfilled. 5. Who are the permanent board members? Cisco, Dell, EMC, IDT, Intel, NetApp, and Oracle hold the seven permanent board seats. 6. How is the specification developed? Can anyone contribute? The specification is developed by the NVM Express Working Group.

  • For Immediate Release
    For Immediate Release Media Contact: Story Public Relations Michael Schoolnik [email protected] SandForce SSD Processors Transform Mainstream Data Storage Breakthrough DuraClass Technology Sets New Standards for SSD Reliability, Performance and Energy Efficiency SARATOGA, CA. – April 13, 2009 – SandForce™ Inc., the pioneer of SSD (Solid State Drive) Processors that enable commodity NAND flash deployment in enterprise and mobile computing applications, today emerged from stealth mode and unveiled its first product, the SF‐1000 SSD Processor family. These highly‐integrated silicon devices address the inherent endurance, reliability, and data retention issues associated with NAND flash memory, making it possible to build SSDs that deliver unprecedented performance over the life of the drive with orders‐of‐magnitude higher reliability than enterprise‐class HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). The SandForce patent‐pending DuraClass™ technology promises to accelerate mass‐market SSD adoption. Leading OEMs are expected to release both SLC (single level cell) and MLC (multi‐level cell) flash‐based SSDs using SandForce single‐chip SSD Processors later this year. IDC expects worldwide shipments of SSD's in the Enterprise and PC markets will exceed 40 million units in 2012, representing a CAGR of 171% from 2007‐20121. “The SF‐1000 SSD Processor Family promises to address key NAND flash issues allowing MLC flash technologies to be reliably used in broad based, mission critical storage environments,” said Mike Desens, Vice President for System Design, IBM.
