Pinaka Aerospace Solutions in India Selected RADX Trifecta-SSD COTS SSD RAID Modules

Radx Technologies, Inc. announced that Pinaka Aerospace Solutions Pvt., an India-based aerospace and defense services and solutions provider for avionics, EW and communications applications, has selected Radx Trifecta-SSD COTS SSD RAID modules for Pinaka Aerospace advanced, modular, PXIe-based, wideband, multi-channel RF and microwave record and playback systems.

About Pinaka Aerospace RF record and playback systems 
Developed in India by Pinaka engineers, Pinaka Aerospace RF record and playback systems employ National Instruments PXIe chassis, embedded controllers and modules and LabVIEW software to provide multi-channel, wideband (up to 1GHz per Channel), 9 to 6GHz, precision-synchronized, RF and record and playback solutions that are optimized for a range of EW and T&M applications. In Pinaka Aerospace RF record and playback systems,Trifecta-SSD-RAID modules provide the sustained, sequential RW performance storage capacity per slot to meet the recording duration and demanding performance required for both internal and customer applications.

“Pinaka Aerospace RF record and playback systems are optimized for wideband, multi-channel applications and Trifecta-SSD-RAID modules uniquely meet the sustained performance and storage density requirements of our systems,“ said Meesala Naidu, director, business development, Pinaka Aerospace. “And Trifecta-SSD adoption by leading aerospace companies and organizations around the world gives us confidence in the products and in Radx as a key partner for this mission critical solution.”

About Trifecta-SSD-RAID PXIe modules
In volume production since 2019, Radx COTS Trifecta-SSD-RAID modules are optimized for PXIe/CPCIe-based, wideband, multi-channel RF and microwave and other high-speed data acquisition, record, playback, and analysis applications that require performance, capacity, and best value (price/TB). Trifecta-SSD-RAID modules support 8, 16, 24, 32 or 64GB in a single PXIe/CPCIe slot, which is 2x to-16x greater than other single-slot SSD PXIe/CPCIe RAID modules.

Trifecta-SSD-RAID modules feature a PCIe Gen 3 x8 interface and an architecture that supports up to 8xM.2 NVMe SSDs in a single slot that can sustain up to ~7GB/s sequential RW performance without incurring the write ‘glitches’ or ‘hiccups’ that can plague other RAID modules with only 4 SSDs. The module’s ‘glitch-free’ write capability is for systems that stream 1+GHz or greater bandwidths per channel for long duration recordings. These modules support 64-bit Windows OS and popular Linux 64-bit distributions and are designed to comply with key standards including RoHS, FCC Class A, CE and MIL-PRF-28800F.

The module pricing starts at $6,999 (for 8TB) and $9,999 (for 16TB), which is typically 1/2 to 1/3 the price/TB of competitive PXIe RAID products and Trifecta-SSD-RAID delivery is typically 30 days ARO for small volumes. These modules are long-life-cycle products that are manufactured in the USA and are available on GSA from TestMart.

“Pinaka Aerospace is an industry leader in mission critical EW, Comms and Avionics systems integration and development and all of us at Radx are elated to have our Trifecta-SSD RAID modules selected for their RF record and playback systems,” said Ross Q. Smith, co-founder and CEO, Radx. “We look forward to working with Pinaka Aerospace to meet their needs for this important application.”
