Starline presents enterprise NVMe SSDs from Memblaze at CeBIT in Hall 2, Stand B53

The PBlaze4 Series is Memblaze‘s next generation enterprise SSD designed to deliver consistent level of performance and reliability for the most demanding data center applications, including database,

Tier 1 Caching, Virtualization and Cloud Computing.

PBlaze4 series

The PBlaze4 series offer capacities ranging from 800 GB to 3.2 TB in 2.5” SFF , and up to 6.4 TB in PCIe form factor.

The PBlaze4 PCIe SSD performance reaches 3.4 GBps read bandwidth and 2.5 GBps write bandwidth, and 800K IOPS random read and 250K IOPS random write. The new PBlaze4 Series provides ultra-low latency and the lowest CPU load in the industry.

The PBlaze4 is a PCIe Solid-State Drive (SSD) with comprehensive support for NVMe and PCIe 3.0. Combining Memblazes core algorithm and a new architecture design, the PCIe SSD is a high-performance and high-reliability solid-state solution for large-scale data centers and enterprise clients.

The PBlaze4 series supports the NVMe 1.1. NVMe is the interface standard specifically designed for PCIe SSDs. As all new versions of main operating systems, such as Windows, Linux and VMware, support NVMe and have native driver, users can directly use PBlaze4 without installing 3rd party drivers. Alternatively, if the motherboard supports the UEFI protocol, PBlaze4 can be used as boot device.
