  • Enable 1PB of storage in just 1U.

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

Intel® Data Center SSDs based on EDSFF*; the perfect fit.

Break free from the limitations of legacy data center SSD form factors with the revolutionary new E1.L and E1.S Intel® SSDs based on Enterprise and Data Center SSD Form Factor (EDSFF). Designed from the ground up, EDSFF-based SSDs deliver the building blocks for scalable solutions. Increased operational efficiency and massive space consolidation reducing the storage physical footprint, results in lower TCO. Featuring a common connector and pinout, the array of flexible, future-ready features enable a broad range of interoperable designs.

Designed to Meet Top Data Center Storage Challenges

Creation of EDSFF was guided by three principles: enable scale, optimize total cost of ownership, and enable dynamic range of solutions.

These principles were driven by key data center storage challenges, as surveyed from top IT decision makers, including: ability to scale capacity to support data and application growth, driving down the cost of storage—lowering operating and capital expenditures, while increasing storage agility, and deliver required application performance without compromises. With a healthy and growing ecosystem, Intel supports EDSFF as the data center form factor standard of the future.

Now You Have Options

The E1.L and E1.S give you options for a variety of data center needs.

E1.L is a form factor optimized for disaggregated systems. Providing high per server capacity, E1.L enables up to 32 drives per rack unit for massive storage power. In addition to capacity, this form factor provides key features of thermal efficiency, full serviceability, scalability, and future ready performance.

E1.S provides the best of U.2 and M.2.—a scalable, flexible, power, and thermally efficient SSD building block. This form factor was designed for high-volume hyperscale, and allows system flexibility, increased storage density, modular scaling, improved serviceability, and more efficient cooling optimized for 1U servers.

Optimized Capacity

EDSFF drives were designed to optimize capacity per drive. With 36 media sites on the E1.L this drive can scale to higher capacities without expensive and complex die stacking. The Intel SSD E1.L will scale up to 30.72TB of capacity, which means you can reach nearly 1PB of storage in 1U.1 This provides up to 10 times rack consolidation compared to 8TB U.2 15mm drives.

Space Isn’t All it Saves

E1.L provides programmable LEDs to quickly locate failed drives, offline drives, and un-populated slots. With a carrier-less design and an integrated latch, the E1.L removes the need for drive carriers. Advanced enclosure management with slot level power control enables single drive isolation. The E1.L is up to 2 times more thermally efficient than U.2 15mm drives,2 while the E1.S is up to 3 times more thermally efficient than U.2 7mm drives.3 With a combination of built in serviceability and thermal efficiency, EDSFF drives allow you to increase operational efficiency at scale.

I risultati sono stati stimati o simulati utilizzando analisi interna o simulazione di architettura o modellazione, e vengono forniti solo a scopo informativo. La simulazione prevede tre unità per ciascun fattore di forma in una rappresentazione in lamiera di un server, passo 12,5 mm per il fattore di forma basato su EDSFF, altitudine 1000 m, limitando l’unità SSD alla temperatura del case di 70 °C o a prestazioni con throttling termico, a seconda dell'evento che si verifica per primo. Banda di sicurezza di 5 °C. Risultati utilizzati come proxy per il flusso d'aria previsto con il fattore di forma conforme alle specifiche EDSFF dell’unità SSD Intel® P4510.

I risultati sono stati stimati o simulati utilizzando analisi interna o simulazione di architettura o modellazione, e vengono forniti solo a scopo informativo. La simulazione prevede il confronto delle implementazioni di server da 1U per ciascun fattore di forma. E1.S è orientato verticalmente con un passo di 11 mm, e U.2 da 7 mm è orientato orizzontalmente con un passo di 18 mm. Entrambi i fattori di forma sono racchiusi in una rappresentazione in lamiera di un server Ciascun fattore di forma è limitato dalla condizione per l'avvio del throttling termico.
