SMART’s Advanced Error Detection & Correction technology reinforces the ECC (Error Code Correction) engine and utilizes RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) mechanism. Data is reconstructed by the prior stored parity in other pages. The recovered data will be stored in a new block, and the prior stored block will be refreshed.

SMART proprietary firmware architecture forms the basis for innovative and cost-effective SSD products to meet customers’ unique needs. NVMSentry provides the full package of advanced firmware features for specific customization requirements and optimized product performance.

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a hardware-based encryption method for converting data from an unencrypted into an encrypted format. 256 bits encryption key length makes it virtually impossible to decrypt the data without the original key.

End-to-End Protection ensures data is correctly transferred at every data transfer point within an SSD by utilizing Error Correction Code (ECC) and additional protection mechanisms, such as Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), to detect and rectify errors.

Over-Provisioning is a technology where a certain portion of the physical capacity of the memory is reserved for carrying out garbage collection, wear-leveling, and bad block management. It effectively reduces the attribute of write amplification and extends the lifespan of an SSD.

S.M.A.R.T. is a self-monitoring system that prevents risks from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and displaying critical drive information. The indicators includes the drive’s health, status, usage info and potential disk problems.

A Single Event Upset (SEU) is an inadvertent change in bit status occurring in a digital system when a high energy neutron or alpha particle randomly strikes causing a memory bit to flip states. These high-energy particles can originate from terrestrial or extra-terrestrial sources such as cosmic rays.

Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Storage Work Group created the Opal Security Subsystem Class (SSC) as one class of security management protocol for storage devices. It is the most recognized standard for self-encrypting drives (SEDs). SMART offers TCG Opal 2.0 compliant self-encrypting SSDs incorporating AES encryption for rock-solid data protection.

Along with increasing amount of IT devices and systems installed in modern enterprises, more and more data is generated and transported everyday between physical equipment and virtual spaces, like the cloud. In order to efficiently and effectively store and manage these quantities of data, it’s becoming necessary to build a data infrastructure that can accommodate in-house data centers or that can be outsourced to cloud service providers. Whether the data infrastructure is internal or external, the main purpose is to gather process and store the data under stable and secure conditions to ensure uninterrupted operation for the enterprises.

Whether it’s a mid-size health insurance company or a large-scale e-commerce service provider, storage servers play an important role in terms of data management for any business operation. Along with the increasing amounts of data generated and transported through network connections, it’s crucial to efficiently process and store the data, while enabling data access, yet maintaining security. Whatever the use or data applications, storage servers can are used where a large amount of data is transmitted, gathered and processed for analysis and business operations.

With the rapid rise of IoT and IIoT, the demand for connectivity has transformed networking. Today’s networks are scaling at an exponential rate, processing huge amounts of data that are stored for analysis. Reliable, proven memory is vital to ensure the hyper-fast transmission of all that data, as well as storage of the data exchanged between edge devices and network hubs. Whether the scale of network is between two locations or built for thousands of connected devices in different places around the world, there will be huge amounts of data constantly being processed whenever the network is running. That is why the right memory solutions are so important – to ensure data will be processed quickly and stored securely regardless of the demand placed on the network.
