The Artesyn PCIE-6001 PCI Express payload card for the MaxCore™ platform provides up to four independent SSD modules* which can be directly attached to up to four CPUs on MaxCore server cards. The PCIE-6001 card leverages NVMe technology which is currently the fastest way to attach an SSD to a CPU. The PCIE-6001 card is a carrier for COTS SSD modules with M.2 form factor. M.2 modules are considered mainstream for data center and consumer market and deliver outstanding size/price/performance ratio.
The PCIE-6001 payload card connects four M.2 sockets, each with a dedicated four-lane PCIe Gen 3 interface to the MaxCore backplane. The backplane can then be configured to connect individual sockets to microserver CPUs.
The PCIE-6001 PCIe card is targeted for applications where high-speed storage is critical. This card is particularly suited to the following:
- Audio/video processing
- Cloud services
- High-performance computing
- Relational database systems
- Web hosting/caching/reverse proxy services
