AIC SB122-TO Offers NVMe PCIe SSD Server in 1U

 The AIC, Inc.‘s SB122-TO is a 1U/8Bay PCIe SSD.

This flexible storage server platform provides a level of storage density and max I/O with support for some of SSDs including Intel SSD DC P3700 Series, Intel SSD DC P3600 Series, and Micron P420m PCIe SSD drives.

SB122-TO delivers high bandwidth, high density and low latency in a 1U form factor providing a server environment for running applications that requires fast data delivery, such as video-on-demand broadcasting, hyperscale computing, big data analytics, in-memory, virtualization, Hadoop, and large database.

SB122-TO is an Intel platform server solution which supports two Xeon Processor E5-2600/E5-2600 v2 processors with Intel C604 Chipset to provide 5+ years product life cycle. By using the Intel SSD Data Center Family for PCIe, SB122-TO gains data throughput with up to six times faster data transfer speed than 6Gb SAS/SATA SSDs.

“Intel PCIe SSDs in the 2.5″ form factor unleash the true performance of SSDs by eliminating the bottleneck of the drive interface. Traditional SAS and SATA SSDs performance were limited to maximum bandwidth of the SAS or SATA interface. The PCIe SSD 2.5″ form factor connects directly to the PCIe interface, and can fully realize the available bandwidth of 3.94GB/s from four lanes of PCIe v3.0. The increase in throughput and lower latencies provides unparalleled storage performance, and closes the gap between local storage and main memory on the memory hierarchy,” said CT Sun, chief architect, AIC.

SB122-TO and Intel SSD Data Center Family for PCIe are built to perform but to last. Same as all other AIC server solutions based on Intel embedded roadmap, the SB122-TO features longevity and goes through a series of validation test during development phase. Intel SSD Data Center P3700 Series, according to Intel, can sustain 10 full-drive write per day.

AIC is a pioneer in the server solutions industry by releasing SB122-TO, a server solution  that can provide 8 x PCIe SSDs and 2 x 2.5″ HDDs in 1U. In addition to providing a great level of storage capacity, SB122-TO supports up to 2 COTS PCIe Gen3 cards and offers customization option.
