Deneva 2 SSDs from OCZ Start Enterprising

It looks like all facets of the enterprise IT segment are getting revamped and updated, with OCZ being one of those catering to the storage requirements, Deneva 2 SSDs firmly in hand.

It looks like, with the consumer PC market suffering from the increasingly big ripples caused by tablets, among other things, the focus on the enterprise market has grown.

Then again, there is the fact that cloud computing already reached the point where bandwidth and data center storage resources are getting strained.

With this to prompt a more proactive approach to this industry field, it is no surprise to learn of such things as new processors and storage devices.

Granted, Tilera did more or less surprise everyone with its chips that outdo Intel units in terms of performance-per-watt by a factor of 10.

Now, OCZ has stepped forth to supply the industry with a new solid state drive series, bearing the name of Deneva 2.

Being solid state drives, the newcomers don't really promise massive server and data center storage capacities, but they will enable speed benefits.

More specifically, SATA 6.0 Gbps interface support is present, for a 4k random write performance of 80,000 IOPS and sustained transfer speeds of 550 MB/s.

As far as form factor goes, 1.8-inch, 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch units exist, all built out of eMLC NAN Flash memory chips and powered by the SandForce SF-2000 line of controller chips.

“Processing data is critical to any business looking to compete in a rapidly changing, global marketplace. However, many enterprise organizations are limited by outdated storage solutions, which limits their ability to process the necessary data they require to operate their businesses,” said Ryan Petersen, CEO at OCZ Technology Group.

“Deneva 2 SSDs are optimized for high-volume storage applications, offer industry-leading reliability, and leverage the latest NAND and controller technology to deliver superior performance. This combination means that enterprises can overcome previous roadblocks, and use their data in real-time.”
