Problem
Enterprise data centers and cloud infrastructures require storage that can deliver extremely high I/O throughput, low latency, and large capacity while maintaining energy efficiency and reliability. Traditional SSDs often fall short on PCIe 5.0 performance, capacity scaling, or compatibility with diverse server form factors, limiting the ability to support AI, big‑data, virtualization and high‑frequency transaction workloads.
Solution
Memblaze provides a family of enterprise‑grade NVMe SSDs built on its proprietary Memblaze Unified Framework Platform (MUFP). The products combine domestically sourced PCIe 5.0 (or PCIe 4.0) controllers, next‑generation Xtacking® 3D NAND from Yangtze Memory Technology, and firmware optimizations such as dynamic QoS, multi‑core I/O path handling, and advanced power management. They deliver up to 3400 K IOPS random read, 14 GB/s sequential read, and capacities up to 30.72 TB per drive, while supporting NVMe 2.1/2.0 protocols, full data‑path protection, and enterprise security features. The drives are offered in multiple form factors (U.2, HHHL AIC, E1.S/E3.S) and are validated for compatibility with major server platforms and operating systems, enabling data‑center operators to scale performance, reduce total cost of ownership, and meet the stringent latency requirements of AI inference, database, and virtualization workloads.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprise data‑center operators, cloud service providers, and large‑scale IT organizations that run AI/ML inference, high‑transaction databases, virtualization platforms, and big‑data analytics workloads.
