RAID storage
High reliability and performance data storage solutions from Infineon
At Infineon, we understand the need for high reliability, high availability, and performance required for RAID. RAID is a technique that combines multiple physical disks into one or more logical units to make it high-density data storage with data redundancy, data integrity, performance improvement, or all of these. RAID controller cards are the data storage devices used to manage hard disk drives or solid-state drives.
Our nvSRAM and F-RAM solutions for reliable RAID card applications
Our non-volatile SRAM (nvSRAM) and ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) are commonly used in RAID card applications to keep track of the data packets while they transfer between the host and storage system, otherwise known as write journaling. If the system loses power while writing, the journal information is read back at the next power cycle to identify any data that was not yet written. Parallel nvSRAM and serial Quad SPI F-RAMs are preferred over other non-volatile memories due to their fast write speeds, high endurance, and ability to capture data instantly on power loss without the use of any power backup.
Benefits of Infineon's automotive RAID storage application
Raid storage applications, empowered by Infineon's advanced semiconductor solutions, offer a comprehensive and reliable solution for data preservation and performance. With a focus on high reliability and operational efficiency, Infineon's technology eliminates the need for backup batteries or super capacitors, ensuring a seamless and dependable storage environment. Furthermore, Infineon's semiconductor solutions enable raid storage technology to support unlimited non-volatile write cycles at bus speed, facilitating consistent and efficient data handling. Additionally, they provide the capability to instantly capture data in the event of power loss, thereby safeguarding the uninterrupted flow of critical information within raid storage systems.
