Extreme Performance – Moving
Data Closer to the CPU

The Intel® SSD DC P3608
Series taps into the
power of the NVMe™
interface to deliver new
levels of PCIe® perfomance
and ultra-low latency. When paired with
multi-core Intel® Xeon® processors, the
SSD’s unique NVMe dual controller

architecture enables highly ecient

scalability, evenly distributing I/O
across the PCIe 3.0 x8 link to obtain
real-world transfers of over 5GB/s
bandwidth and up to 850,000 random
read IOPS.

Extraordinary Capacity – Doubling
the Max Capacity

Enabling capacities of 1.6, 3.2, and 4TB
in a single PCIe 3.0 x8 low

prole add-in card, the Intel

SSD DC P3608 Series can
provide twice the capacity in
the same physical volume
versus the Intel® SSD DC
P3600 Series.

4TB

Exceptionally Easy – Upgrade
Existing Systems Today!

The Intel SSD DC P3608
Series are ready to be
deployed right out of the box.
They come in a common,
industry-standard form factor:
PCIe 3.0 x8, half-height, half-length,
low-prole add-in card. And they’re
designed to work with industry­standard NVMe software and drivers.

The Need for High-Performance
Storage in the Data Center

The digital service economy is driving
the move to cloud computing, benet­ing a wide range of users. Developers
can launch innovative new services in
minutes. IT can reduce operational and
capital expenditures, while increasing

resource utilization. And consumers

and business users can instantly
access new, rich, high-value services
from anywhere.

EASY

Cloud services are also driving
increased demand for real-time analy­tics and High-Performance Computing
(HPC) capabilities. These compute- and
data-intensive workloads help
businesses solve their most complex
challenges. By 2018, 60% of
businesses are forecast to require HPC
solutions, and 40% of HPC will be
available on demand in the cloud1 –
workloads that require new levels of
storage performance and capacity.

Raising High-Performance
Computing Even Higher

The Intel® SSD DC P3608 Series
delivers the extreme performance and
extra-ordinary capacity today’s real­tim

e analytics and HPC workloads need.

The PCIe 3.0 x8 interface doubles avail­able bandwidth to reduce I/O bottle­necks, while NVMe fuels the CPU with

data much faster than SAS or SATA. In

world’s largest supercomputers can
help solve some of HPC’s biggest
scalability challenges, including
cost, performance, resiliency, and

energy eciency.

All documented endurance test results are obtained in compliance with JESD218 Standards. See www.jedec.org for detailed definitions of JESD218 Standards.

The products described in this document may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on

request. Contact your local Intel sales office or your distributor to obtain the latest specifications and before placing your product order.

Benchmark results were obtained prior to implementation of recent software patches and firmware updates intended to address exploits referred to as "Spectre" and "Meltdown". Implementation of these updates may

make these results inapplicable to your device or system.

Tests document performance of components on a particular test, in specific systems. Differences in hardware, software, or configuration will affect actual performance. Consult other sources of information to evaluate

performance as you consider your purchase.
