IBM FlashCore Technology

• Micron provided interface to the inner workings of the flash

• Intensive hands on research characterized all aspects of the flash

• FlashCore technology has enterprise class robustness using standard MLC technology

• FlashCore technology enhances endurance without sacrificing latency and performance

• FlashCore technology contains a hardware path specifically for flash

Close collaboration between IBM research, software developers and FlashSystem engineers

Truly Making MLC Enterprise!

▪IBM SystemsIBM FlashSystem© 2016 IBM Corporation

✓ Innovative ECC algorithm corrects very high bit error rates (does not require additional reads)Latency does not degrade as parts ageHealth binning and heat segregation

FlashCore technology continually assesses health by monitoring several key parameters Hotter data placed in healthier blocks Up to 57% improvement in endurance!

Write Amplification reduced by up to 45% by grouping like heat levels

✓ The IBM and Micron collaboration provides special access to the FlashExtensive characterization determined optimal read offsets to set as block ages

✓ Powerful checks on entire data path, including inside the flash modules

✓ Variable Stripe RAID reduces what needs to be retired

IBM MicroLatency™ Module Key Differentiators

Results:Large endurance gains w/o latency penalty

Asymmetrical wear leveling results in higher endurance in real life workloads!

As the part ages and we determine the health of each block, the ideal voltage levels are set in order to minimize errors!

Outstanding data reliability and improved endurance

Inside the IBM DeepFlash 150

Storage elements are called a Board Solid State Drive (BSSD)

The BSSD is a cost-optimized implementation of an SSD in a different form factor.

Each BSSD provides 8TB of raw flash, with the maximum 64 BSSDs in 3U chassis delivering a total capacity of 512TB.

DeepFlash 150 enclosures are available in three sizes: 128TB, 256TB and 512TB.

External connectivity with DeepFlash 150 is 12 Gb/s SAS (SAS 3.0).

Each DeepFlash 150 enclosure has two Host SAS Expanders (HSEs)

Each with four mini-SAS connections for interfacing to:

One or more external servers through SAS 6Gbit links using SAS cables.
