Toshiba Memory America Announces SSD Compatibility with Excelero’s NVMesh Software-Defined Block Storage Products
Summary
The combination of the CM5 Series’ large capacity options (up to 15 terabytes1) and the inline metadata capability makes Excelero’s NVMesh software a very valuable solution for today’s data-intensive workloads. “Working closely with TMA’s ecosystem team has helped us advance NVMesh innovation and development by having early access to Toshiba Memory’s SSDs, which in turn, enables us to provide our customers with exceptional storage efficiencies and performance.” “Our CD5 and CM5 Series NVMe-based SSDs deliver exceptionally high performance and low latency, making them ideal for Excelero’s NVMesh software-defined block storage products – and well-positioned for future NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) opportunities,” said Tatsuya Tanaka, vice president of ecosystem and standards at Toshiba Memory America, Inc. “With CM5 Series support for 4,104-byte sector formats, Excelero informed us that its NVMesh software experienced a significant performance boost for 4K operations when the dual parity protection process was invoked2, while also delivering enhanced data protection and integrity.” Toshiba Memory continues to lead the industry with flash innovations for the evolving data center and enterprise landscapes and is committed to developing long-term customer relationships. The company will demonstrate its CD5 and CM5 Series SSDs in the Excelero exhibit (E1039) at the upcoming ISC High Performance show in Frankfurt, Germany, from June 16-20, 2019. From the invention of flash memory to today’s breakthrough 96-layer BiCS FLASH™ 3D technology, Toshiba continues to lead innovation and move the industry forward. NVMesh is deployed by major web-scale customers, for data analytics and machine learning applications, and in high performance computing (HPC) and Media & Entertainment post-production environments.
