Problem
Enterprise data centers and AI/ML clusters require storage that can sustain multi‑gigabyte‑per‑second throughput, millions of IOPS, and high capacity while maintaining endurance, yet many existing SSD offerings are limited to PCIe 4.0 or lower capacities, creating bottlenecks for latency‑sensitive workloads.
Solution
FlumeIO delivers PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSDs engineered for hyperscale and AI infrastructure, providing up to 14.3 GB/s sequential read, ~2.8 M 4 KB IOPS, and capacity options from 4 TB to 128 TB across U.2, E1.S, and E3.S form factors. The drives use a 16‑lane PCIe 5.0 interface and a high‑density controller that supports both eTLC and QLC NAND with endurance ratings of 1‑3 DWPD. FlumeIO offers off‑the‑shelf models for rapid deployment as well as white‑label and custom SSD design services, enabling OEMs and large‑scale operators to integrate storage that matches their performance, capacity, and branding requirements. All products are shipped with enterprise‑grade firmware that includes power‑loss protection, QoS throttling, and NVMe 2.0 compliance, allowing seamless integration into existing storage stacks and orchestration platforms.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hyperscale cloud providers, AI/ML training facilities, and enterprise storage architects who need ultra‑high‑throughput, high‑capacity SSDs, as well as OEM partners seeking white‑label or custom‑designed storage solutions.
