Lite-On Shows High Density Enterprise PCIe SSD at Storage Visions Conference

FREMONT, Calif., Dec. 30, 2014 — Lite-On Storage, a global leading developer of enterprise storage technology, announced that it will demonstrate its latest EP1 solid-state drive (SSD) as well as its full line-up of embedded flash products for Enterprise, PC Client, and Industrial Solutions at Booth No. 216 at the Storage Visions Conference in the Riviera Hotel Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV on January 4 and 5. The Lite-On EP1 SSD was previously announced at Dell World 2014 in October 2014.

Lite-On’s EP1 series SSD is the newest addition to the enterprise product family. The EP1 has many unique offerings catering to enterprise markets. The compact size of the EP1 provides the flexibility to data center infrastructures, combating space constraints. Benefits also include high density, boot drive capabilities, and provides the least disruption of airflow in server environments. The EP1 packs a robust set of features into its small size, delivering great performance, reliability, and durability. These unique features have placed Lite-On Storage as one of the top finalists for the Storage Visions “Visionary Product Award.”

The EP1 series SSD delivers superior speed with 4KB random read and write performance of up to 120,000 IOPS/40,000 IOPS. With ultra-low latencies of 30/40 microseconds, the EP1 ensures the fastest and most consistent command response times in the industry. The EP1 also features power loss protection (PLP), multiple layers of data protection and customizable firmware, which make them a perfect fit for mixed-use environments and application workloads such as online transaction processing (OLTP), financial transactions, E-commerce, SQL logging, collaboration and email servers.

“The EP1 Series PCIe SSD simplifies storage while satisfying the most-demanding enterprise business applications and overcomes the limitations that hard drive technology imposes on IT infrastructures,” said Darlo Perez, Managing Director at Lite-On Americas region. “With fast, consistent end-to-end data protection, power loss protection, high endurance and customized proprietary firmware, Lite-On SSDs provide superior performance, price point and TCO for years to come. We look forward to demonstrating how organizations can simplify their storage at the Storage Visions Conference event.”

Lite-On will also be showcasing its N9S 1.8-inch SATA SSD. The N9S series is the only SSD that has been qualified by one of the largest OEM manufacturers worldwide and has already been shipping servers with this drive. The N9S Series SSDs delivers superior speed, low latencies, consistent command response time, and low power consumption, which significantly lowers TCO for data center and enterprise environments. It is a cost effective and reliable drive with built-in data protection features such as PLP and integrity self-checks.

Lite-On will display its complete line-up of professional/industrial-ready solid-state drives at its booth #216, and offer private demonstrations for strategic partners and members of the media at its suite in the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas during Storage Visions and throughout CES.
