FlashPoint Platform Supports ONFi 2.0 NAND Flash Technology for PCIe-based Memory Systems
"We are very pleased to announce support for the ONFi 2.0 device technology with memory controller designs and high-quality simulation models," states Kevin Silver, vice president of Business Development at Denali Software. "Early availability of device models and memory controller products is consistent with our goal to speed the adoption of new memory technologies, and ultimately enable more efficient and high-performance memory subsystem design. The Flashpoint platform is a good example of how Denali's taking this value proposition one step further by providing customers with a complete chip design, an end-to-end solution for PCIe-based flash memory systems, and as in this case, leverages all the features and functionality of ONFi 2.0 devices."
"We are very pleased with the success of moving the ONFi 2.0 NAND Flash specification towards industry-wide support," said Amber Huffman, Principal Engineer, Storage Technologies Group at Intel, and Technical Architect within the ONFi working group. "Enabling technologies, such as Denali's commercial design and verification products, help to speed industry adoption of ONFi 2.0 devices in next-generation NAND Flash-based end applications."
