Embedded World: Innodisk to Show Industrial-Grade PCIe M.2 and Boot-Up Devices

Innodisk Corporation is coming to Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany, to showcase their new designs and solutions pinpointed at the server market, IoT, automation and the challenges of hostile environments.

Introducing industrial-grade PCIe M.2
The company is launching an M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD series to meet the future performance requirements of the embedded and industrial market. This SSD series can ensure fast speeds without any heat dispersal issues. These modules will be available in both two and four lane PCIe 3.0, with performance more than sufficient for the server and IPC markets.

Looking towards next generation of boot-up devices
To keep pace with the PCIe NVMe trend, the firm is also exploring the next step in boot-up applications. As this technology requires new interfaces, the company is moving onto the OCuLink port with the OCuLinkDOM (Disk on Module) series. OCuLink is a small cable form factor, and the device supports PCIe Gen3 x2. The OCuLinkDOM is a small form factor that is  for high-speed boot-up, and it will fit within the tightest system setups.

Taking embedded storage into clouds
Automation the IoT trend means that we’re moving into a future with fewer human operators and an exponentially growing number of interconnected devices. All flash devices however, have limited lifespan. To meet this growing need of storage monitoring and maintenance, the company has launched iCAP. This is shorthand for the firm’s Cloud Administration Platform, and is an solution that allows browser-based monitoring of any interconnected device, no matter where you are located.

Combating threat of sulfuration
Sulfur is present in many industries. However, even in trace amounts, this sulfur will react with silver used in DRAM modules in a corrosive reaction. This can lower performance and also lead to device failure and system downtime. To mitigate this costly risk, the company offers the anti-sulfuration DRAM series. By isolating the silver from the environment, these sensitive components are protected from the harmful sulfur. These modules are for usage in the petrochemical and energy sector, as well as areas with pollution and volcanic activity.

Miniaturized system expansions
Embedded manufacturers often struggle with limited space, which can make any system expansion a troublesome affair. To meet the demand for ever smaller modules, the firm has moved onto smaller M.2 2242 LAN and serial expansion cards. This miniature design allows for a smooth integration into any system, and is suitable for the medical, in-vehicle and automation industry.
