Exceeds Endurance Requirements For All Enterprise SSD Applications

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Link_A_Media Devices Corporation (LAMD), a leader in custom semiconductor system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for data storage, has released endurance measurements for solid state drives (SSDs) utilizing its second generation of proprietary eBoost^TM technology.

LAMD’s eBoost technology greatly increases the endurance of both standard and enterprise grade NAND Flash. SSDs with eBoost technology have achieved 90,000 program/erase cycles measured under JEDEC compliant test methods on enterprise grade MLC NAND Flash. This level of endurance exceeds the requirements of the most demanding enterprise applications such as transaction processing and high-performance search engines which require critical throughput, response-time and endurance attributes.

LAMD’s dramatic improvement in endurance is realized without sacrificing industry-leading performance due to eBoost’s adaptive algorithms that use advanced channel estimation methodology. Independent measurements have shown the LAMD FlashLINK^TM platform solution with eBoost technology provides unmatched performance and minimal latencies under extreme SPC-1C workloads. The rapidly expanding cloud computing service industry with its virtual server infrastructure requires terabytes of virtual memory and extremely high performance SSDs to operate effectively. SSDs manufactured on LAMD’s FlashLINK™ platform with eBoost technology are ideally suited for these virtual environments because they provide minimal swap latencies while consuming the lowest system power of any storage solution. Through eBoost technology, LAMD delivers differentiating performance and endurance to mission-critical enterprise SSDs, enabling their deployment in data centers and the rapid expansion of the cloud computing industry.

“LAMD has been researching the behavior of NAND Flash devices for over four years,” stated Dr. Hemant Thapar, CEO of LAMD. “In this, our second generation of adaptive eBoost technology, our team has again dramatically advanced the data recovery technologies for NAND media and delivered industry leading endurance without compromising system performance,” concluded Dr. Thapar.

LAMD’s FlashLINK™ platform with eBoost technology has been fully qualified and supports all major NAND manufacturers.
