OCP Summit: Lite-On Storage Unveils NVRAM Hybrid SSD With Marvell NVMe Controller

And demos EP3 series and upcoming EPX NVMe M.2 SSDs.

Lite-On Storage, business group of LITE-ON Technology Corporation, demonstrated its latest enterprise drives, the NVRAM Hybrid SSD, during the OCP U.S. Summit 2018.


The company’s NVRAM Hybrid drive, slated for release this spring, is a compact high-density drive with multi-namespaces. One of the namespaces can be dedicated to NVRAM drive and the other namespace to boot drive, utilizing the NAND portion of the drive. This drive has a dual-use feature such that it can serve as boot drive for server with the SSD namespace and as cache with the NVRAM part of the drive, resulting in reduced overall TCO with a better utilization rate.

Customers tell us they need the most technologically advanced SSDs in their enterprises, but those storage solutions must also make financial sense,” said Darlo Perez, MD, Lite-On Storage Group. “Our new NVRAM Hybrid SSD is capable of meeting today’s demanding and time-sensitive data center requirements while maximizing TCO.

The firm’s NVRAM Hybrid SSD is integrated with Marvell Technology Group Ltd.‘s 88SS1093 NVMe controller to solve emerging cloud and enterprise data center use cases.

Lite-On is a leading SSD innovator, constantly integrating new technology into its products that benefit not only customers but partners like Marvell as well,” said Nigel Alvares, VP, SSD and data center storage solutions, Marvell. “We value greatly our Lite-On relationship, and share a strong vision for how storage solutions need to adapt to address the needs of next-generation, virtualized, multi-tenant cloud and enterprise data centers.

EPX NVMe M.2 SSD


In addition to the NVRAM Hybrid drive, the firm demonstrated the latest SSDs from its EP3 series and upcoming EPX NVMe M.2 drives, which are the company’s first to utilize machine learning and intelligent read retry for efficiency. The company data shows the EPX drives can achieve up to an 81% read retry performance, compared to just 9% for traditional systems.

The firm is focused on leveraging the latest technological innovations to deliver the types of reliable, performing and scalable drives that customers need to do business in the Digital Age. This focus on bleeding-edge engineering has helped make the Taiwan-based company a provider in the growing SSD market.

The firm ranked third in the world for PCIe SSD revenues as of the fourth quarter of last year, according to Forward Insights.
