Skyera: Data Center Storage
Latest innovation from serial entrepreneur and noted chip architect leverages Xilinx FPGAs.
With a rich history of creating bleeding-edge IC designs for microprocessors, graphics processors and ASICs, Radoslav Danilak and his team at startup Skyera are now set to introduce a product that promises to ignite the market for solid-state storage systems in the enterprise storage market. A key attribute of the product, beyond massive capacity and performance at a competitive price point, will be its ability to extend the life of the flash memory in the system.
Vendors have traditionally developed these controllers in ASICs, with every generation a bit more complex than the previous one to ensure better endurance, reliability, and performance. To get this revolutionary system to market quickly, Skyera is implementing its unique controller functions on a Xilinx FPGA.
