What is a PCIe Workload Accelerator?

The HPE PCIe Workload Accelerators are PCIe card-based, advanced storage devices that use solid state storage technology directly on the PCI bus, assuring high read and write data rates and accelerated application performance. The associated application performance improvements will have a positive impact on business results and the ability to accelerate IO resulting in significant cost and time savings.

Single Level Cell and Multilevel Cell

NAND technology uses flash memory cells to store data. Single level Cell (SLC) stores one bit per cell, while Multi endurance characteristics than SLC.

IO and Read/Write Performance

HPE PCIe Workload Accelerators offer superior IO and high throughput.

Latency

HPE PCIe Workload Accelerators offer very low latency access to data with virtually zero seek time compared to rotating magnetic media.

RAM Requirements

The amount of free RAM required by the driver depends on the size of the blocks used when writing to the drive. The smaller the blocks

Upgradeability

The controller for the HPE PCIe Workload Accelerators can be upgraded in the future with new firmware. Online firmware update tools are available for all supported operating systems.

Wear-leveling

NAND Flash devices use semiconductor technology that has a finite amount of data that can be written to the device, defined as the Maximum Usage Limit. Projected lifetime of the NAN with type of NAND and amount of writes to the device.
