MASSIVE CAPACITY MEETS ENTERPRISE PERFORMANCE

Take control of your data efficiency with the capacity, performance, and accessibility of the PM1643a 12G SAS SSD

Enterprise environments have unique requirements to ensure that they operate optimally 24/7, 365 days a year. Maintaining low latency and stability while addressing varying workloads is essential. Most crucial of all is protection from data corruption or loss due to unexpected power outages. Considering each of these factors, IT and data center managers are tasked with finding high performing and dependable memory solutions.

Samsung is offering enterprises superb solid-state drives (SSDs) that deliver outstanding performance in multi-thread applications, such as compute and virtualization, relational databases, and storage. These SSDs are also extraordinarily reliable for continuous operation regardless of unanticipated power loss. Using proven expertise and a wealth of experience in cutting-edge SSD technology, Samsung memory solutions help data centers operate continuously at the highest performance levels. Samsung has the added advantage of being the sole manufacturer of all of its SSD components, ensuring end-to-end integration, remarkable quality assurance and the utmost compatibility.

Samsung PM1643a specifications

Samsung PM1643a delivers:

• High-Performance

With Read/Write performance more than 4x that capable with SATA, the PM1643a 12G SAS SSD provides a massive upgrade to the data transfer capabilities of your storage array, no forklift necessary.

• High-Capacity

The PM1643a supports a range of capacities, from 960GB to an industry leading 30.72TB.

• High-Availability

PM1643a supports dual-port functionality, enabling two access paths to the storage array controller. The PM1643a delivers the reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) that is required for enterprise storage designs.

Uncompromising Quality and Performance

To satisfy an enterprise environment’s exceptionally high- demands, an SSD must perform over long periods of time at maximum performance levels for the variety of workloads accessing the device simultaneously. In addition, the SSD must provide the performance consistency to satisfy grueling Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The PM1643a SSD offers industry leading metrics to support these requirements.

Optimize performance for read-intensive enterprise applications

The Samsung PM1643a SAS SSD is optimized to excel in enterprise storage scenarios. Providing exceptional random read performance, this SSD is particularly suited to accelerate read-intensive workloads in the enterprise environment.

Maximize your cost/performance efficiency

Satisfy your mission critical requirements while staying on- budget. With performance metrics greater than 4x those seen in SATA SSD’s, the PM1643a offers a cost per 1K IOPS which is only 25% that of an equivalent capacity SATA drive.

Revitalize your Enterprise systems

As the performance demands on your storage network continue to grow, migrating your storage away from the limitations of outdated SATA interfaces in favor of the advantages of 12G SAS is the easiest way to add longevity to aging arrays.

Enterprise-grade power loss protection

During normal power-off periods, the host server allocates time to preserve data integrity by transmitting a standby command to each device. In the event of an unexpected power loss, though, the cached data in a storage device’s internal buffers (DRAM) can be lost. This can occur with unexpected power outages, or when users unplug devices from the system. However, the Samsung PM1643a SSD has been designed to prevent data loss resulting from unexpected power shutdowns with its power-loss protection architecture. Upon detection of a failure, the SSD immediately uses the stored energy from tantalum capacitors to provide enough time to transfer the cached data in DRAM to the flash memory, ensuring no loss of data.
