BiTMICRO Debuts Military-Grade E-Disk VME Ultra320 SCSI Wide Solid State Flash Disk.FREMONT, Calif. -- The E-Disk(R) VME (Virtual Machine Environment) An operating system from Fujitsu Services (formerly ICL) that runs on its Series 39 mainframes. Introduced in 1975, VME is a comprehensive product that provides a variety of utilities for datacenter operations. U320 SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. Wide Flash Solid State Disk Brings Lightning Fast Data Transfer Speeds to Military and Industrial Storage Applications BiTMICRO(R) Networks, a pioneer in intelligent IDE/ATA IDE/ATA Integrated Device Electronics/Advanced Technology Attachment (hard drive interface standard) , SCSI, USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , VME, PMC (1) See Portable Media Center. (2) (PCI Mezzanine Card) A PCI-based mezzanine card that is widely adapted to VMEbus, CompactPCI and PCI cards. , CompactPCI, FireWire, Ethernet and Fibre Channel flash solid state storage solutions, today announced a new line of E-Disk(R) VME SCSI Wide flash solid state drive plug-in modules featuring the E-Disk(R) 3S320 -- the world's first Ultra320 SCSI-based flash solid state disk. BiTMICRO's E-Disk(R) VME U320 SCSI Wide flash disk drives are now available in both conduction and convection-cooled versions. Designed as a 6U double slot plug-in module, the current convection-cooled E-Disk(R) VME module can hold storage capacities ranging from 1024MB to 53.2GB. On the other hand, the conduction-cooled E-Disk(R) VME U320 SCSI plug-in flash disk module comes in a single disk configuration that can occupy up to three slots for a maximum capacity of 155.36GB. The heart and soul of the E-Disk(R) VME U320 SCSI Wide Series is the 3S320 flash disk. This OS-independent, pure solid state/non-volatile E-Disk SSD See solid state disk. features up to 42 (micron)sec access time and a maximum I/O of 12,500/sec. Sustained R/W rate is 68 MB/sec (max) and burst R/W rate is 320 MB/sec (max). It can handle operating shock of up to 1500 Gs and extreme temperatures from -40 to +85 degrees C. Product design targets an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) The average time a component works without failure. It is the number of failures divided by the hours under observation. MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures of 1 million hours. The E-Disk(R) VME SCSI Wide Series of plug-in flash disk drive modules are completely bootable, do not require any special device drivers, and are fully-compliant with the remanence The persistence of residual magnetism (on magnetic storage media) or deformations (on optical media) that may carry information susceptible to discovery using special techniques. To avoid compromise of confidential information, one can destroy data by repeated overwriting with random data. security requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense, Navy, Army and Air Force with its patented securErase(R) and PowerGuard(R). "Through the years, the VME bus has maintained its stature as the embedded computing architecture of choice for defense, aerospace and industrial automation applications," says Rudy Bruce, President of BiTMICRO Networks. "Our E-Disk VME SCSI solution ramps up VME technology to the next level by delivering ultra-fast, enterprise-level storage transfer speeds in a ruggedized form factor," Bruce adds.
