IBM 2.4TB High IOPS MLC Duo Adapter for IBM System x 90Y4398
The IBM 2.4TB MLC Duo High IOPS Adapters for IBM System x®, IBM BladeCenter®, and IBM Flex System™ are second-generation adapters that come with many of the benefits of standard storage in addition to enterprise-class high performance of more than 900,000 sustained input/output operations per second (IOPS). These adapters are designed primarily for performance-hungry enterprise servers and computing appliances while providing the added benefits of lower power and cooling costs, low management impact, and smaller storage footprints.

Features
Based on the standard PCIe architecture coupled with silicon-based NAND clustering storage technology, the High IOPS MLC Adapters are optimized for System x rack servers and can be deployed in blades through the PCIe expansion units. These scalable designs come with cost-effective Multi-Level Cell (MLC) technology in standard PCIe form factors.
These adapters use NAND flash memory as the basic building block of solid-state storage and contain no moving parts, so they are less sensitive to issues associated with vibration, noise, and mechanical failure. These adapters are built as block devices on a PCIe bus with advanced wear-leveling, ECC, and chip-level redundancy providing unparalleled reliability and efficiency.
Typical uses are applications with ultra-high performance I/O needs:
-
- Data-in-memory applications
- Medium to large databases
- Cache
- Video
- Data warehousing
- Business intelligence and analytics
- Decision support
