Boost the capacity and performance of your cloud-based storage architecture with the 7.6TB DC P4610 Internal SSD from Intel. Boasting sequential read speeds up to 3200 MB/s, this 64-bit 3D NAND TLC flash SSD comes in a U.2 15mm form factor and features a PCIe NVMe 3.1 x4 interface. AES 256-bit encryption helps to enhance security, while end-to-end data protection is designed to monitor data integrity as it travels from a computer to the drive. SMART monitoring tracks the health and status of the drive, and power loss imminent (PLI) functionality helps to protect your data in the event of a power failure.

Multi-cloud has become a core element for any enterprise strategy, and top cloud providers have responded by embracing PCIe/NVMe-based SSDs with scalable performance, low latency, and continued innovation. As software-defined and converged infrastructures are swiftly adopted, the need increases to maximize efficiency, revitalize existing hardware, deploy new workloads, and yet reduce operational expenditures. The SSD DC P4610 Series is designed to significantly increase server agility and utilization, as well as to accelerate applications across a wide range of cloud workloads.

Intel's 64-layer TLC 3D NAND technology helps to enable the DC P4610 to increase available capacity up to 20% more compared to its immediate predecessor, the Intel SSD DC P4600. This increased density is the key to supporting broader workloads, allowing cloud and enterprise service providers to increase users, and improving data service levels. An intelligent firmware algorithm is designed to keep host and background data reads and writes at an optimal balance, helping to ensure better QoS. With the DC P4610, host applications have access to higher capacity as well as up to 35% faster write rates, up to 35% more endurance per drive, and up to 4x reduction of service time at a QoS metric of 99.99% availability for random-access workloads.

To help ensure telemetry information without disrupting ongoing I/O operations, the DC P4610 includes enhanced SMART monitoring of drive health and status, using an in-band mechanism and out-of-band access. A power loss imminent (PLI) protection scheme with a built-in self-test guards against data loss if system power is suddenly cut. Coupled with an end-to-end data path protection scheme, PLI features enable ease of deployment into resilient data centers. The DC P4610 combines firmware enhancements with new 3D NAND features to prioritize host workload.

To help data centers make the most of increased SSD capacity per server, dynamic namespace management delivers the flexibility to enable more users and scale deployment. The DC P4610 also provides security features like TCG Opal 2.0 and a built-in AES-XTS 256-bit encryption engine, which are required by some secure platforms. With the capability to manage multiple firmware versions on a drive and to support updates without a reset, the DC P4610 improves integration and increases the ease and efficiency of deploying at scale.
