Supermicro Servers Support PCI-E SSD Solutions

Samsung NVMe SSDs

Delivering reliable computing and storage resources that reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) has been a struggle for data center architects. In order to minimize costs, data center servers require high levels of I/O performance and high system density. More importantly, the storage systems supplying that I/O performance need to deliver consistence performance and latency 24/7, 365 days a year. In the face of these challenges, IT and data managers must find storage solutions that can keep up with their demands.

Samsung has been an industry leader in NVMe SSDs, delivering the advantages of industry standard NVMe performance longer than anyone else. Leveraging the advantage of being a vertically integrated supplier of SSDs, Samsung has provided the highest levels of quality. The Samsung PM983 SSD allows data center architects to achieve reliable, high storage capacity that delivers on performance.

PM983

PM983 delivers four times the performance of SATA SSDs, using Samsung 3D V-NAND and an optimized Samsung NVMe controller with native PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 host interface that supplies 32GB/s of bandwidth. It is also 1,000 times faster than an SAS HDD in random read/write and three times better performing than a 2.5-inch SAS SSD. PM983 achieves the same low cost per gigabyte as slower SATA SSDs. By providing four times the IOPS per dollar, IT and data center managers are able to scale workload utilization on their servers, decreasing the cost of computing.

Find the product that best fits your density and performance needs from three separate form factors.

M.2: Designed for Flexibility

The ultra-small form factor of the Samsung SSD PM983 (M.2) allows for more efficient storage density, allowing you to shrink your footprint, even for high-performance computing, and significantly reduce your total cost of ownership.

U.2 (2.5"): High Capacity, High Performance

PM983 (U.2) delivers performance of up to 540K IOPS for random 4KB read and up to 50K IOPS for random 4KB write in the sustained state. The 2.5-inch form factor of PM983 (U.2) can support higher capacity systems, allowing you to shrink your footprint and significantly reduce your total cost of ownership.
