Echostreams Innovative Solutions, LLC., a U.S. based OEM/ODM server and storage solutions provider (Computex booth #K0516) announced the availability of a family of patented ultra-high performance SSD flash servers, FlacheStreams, capable of sustaining 11 Gigabytes/sec in Sequential Read in 1U with 20x SSDs - FlacheSAN1L, and 22 Gigabytes/sec in a 2U server with 48x SSDs - FlacheSAN2.For digital content streaming, up to nine uncompressed 4K HD video streams can be supported concurrently; or for online transactional database applications, 1.56 million IOPs can be sustained. FlacheSAN servers come equipped with the latest Adaptec Series 8 12Gb/s SAS controllers. Best of all, on top of the unmatched performance, FlacheSAN2 only consumes no more than 450W of power at the maximum performance level, making it the highest energy-efficient solution on the market today. The patented tool-less SSD tray design greatly reduces the integration time, which further reduces the operational cost for the solution providers.Designed specifically for the standard 2.5" form factor 7-mm thick SSDs, the FlacheSAN systems can support twice the density of conventional general-purpose servers, maximizing the utilization of the available I/O bandwidths offered by the latest server technologies. FlacheSAN2 can support up to 9 usable PCIe add-in card slots, which can support up to 3x Adaptec 16-port SAS controllers for point-to-point connection to the SSDs, plus up to 22x 8GFC ports or 5x FDR InfiniBand ports for optimized performance. FlacheSAN1L, on the other hand, can support two Adaptec controllers and up to 4x 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Both platforms are ideal for today's datacenters, covering usage models from IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), cloud cache, digital content streaming, as well as Virtual Desktop Infrastructures for enterprises and small-medium-businesses."Our patented FlacheSAN high-performance SSD flash server platforms equipped with the latest Adaptec Series-8 12G SAS controllers offer our OEM customers unmatched performance and values," says Gene Lee, President/CEO of Echostreams.

Chilisin's new molded High Efficiency Power Inductors (HEI Series) performance allows the designers to select a smaller component while scarifying little to no power efficiency. In some instances there is even an improvement. In analyzing the performance of the HEI inductors, power efficiency will be performed under two conditions: Standby mode (light load, PFM) and In-Use (heavy load, PWM).1. Light load, PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation)In general smart phones tend to be in power save mode for a longer period of time than in heavy load. Hence addressing the efficiency under light load conditions is critical for battery life. During light load mode, the SMPS uses PFM (pulse frequency modulation) mode for switching. Under light load conditions most of the inductor losses are attributed to the AC losses. Since the current is low, actual losses are due to the switching frequency. Hence it is important for an inductor to have a low Rac and the resultant Higher Quality factor (or the so-called Q value). Designers may also compare Q values of inductors as a reference index of which one would present a lower AC loss at low frequencies (<~1MHz). Q and Rac are inversely proportional (High Q = Low Rac). As can be seen in Fig.1, Chilisin HEI performed a better Q value and resulted into higher power efficiency in the light load mode, as Fig.2 shown.2. Heavy Load, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)Under heavy load, both of DC copper loss, AC copper losses and core loss all are important in the efficiency improvement. Especially, the DCR of the inductor plays a major role in the inductor losses (P=I2RDCR) since the current is significantly higher than in light load.One of the Chilisin core technologies is to have their own proprietary metal powder formulation for HEI inductors which share the benefits of low RDCR and Rac combinations. In additional to lower DC resistance values, the powders used also exhibits higher Q value, and therefore reduced the core loss further.Company Website: http://www.chilisin.com.tw/
