Bitmicro SoCs comprise the Translation and Linking of I/O Nodes (TALINO) high-speed disk controllers, featuring integrated common industry standard interface cores, and the Intelligent Storage Interconnect Platform (ISIP) flash memory controllers, which will provide high-performance multi-vendor support for large arrays of flash devices.
Both controllers are expected to be deployed in E-Disk maxIO SSDs, the next generation of solid state storage solutions that define Bitmicro's vision for the much awaited proliferation of flash memory based storage in the enterprise.
E-Disk maxIO storage devices are very high performance SSDs that come in industry standard and small storage form factors supporting the latest high-speed storage interfaces.
The SoCs with Kilopass XPM memory technology target 90nm standard logic CMOS processes from a world-leading commercial foundry.
XPM technology is being used to store E-Disk boot-up code securely, and to perform factory-floor programming to reduce the inventory management cost.
"After evaluating a number of alternatives, we chose Kilopass' XPM memory technology since it provides the best standard logic CMOS solution for our secure software storage," remarked Rudy Bruce, Executive Vice President for Marketing and Sales at Bitmicro Networks.
"XPM technology will become part of the new storage revolution that will change the way business enterprises store, process, and retrieve information," Bruce explained.
"Using embedded non-volatile memory to securely and inexpensively store boot code is one of the many applications for which companies such as Bitmicro are turning to XPM," added Charles Ng, VP of worldwide sales and marketing.
"We are pleased to be part of that next storage revolution and welcome Bitmicro, to the growing list of Kilopass customers, who are using our patented XPM technology for secure storage".
