Product brief Intel 3D NAND SSD DC P4500 Series Data Center (DC), PCI Express* (P) Cloud Inspired. Storage Optimized. Designed for modern cloud storage solutions such as software-denfi ed and converged infrastructures. Pairing a new Intel developed controller, unique firmware innovations, and industry- leading 3D NAND density, the Intel SSD DC P4500 Seriesa member of the Intel 3D NAND SSD familydelivers an all new design to support cloud storage and software- defined infrastructures. The Intel SSD DC P4500 Series is stacked with a combination of performance, capacity, manageability, and reliability to help data centers fast- track their business and meet the overall demands of their digital business. To meet data centers exacting needs for growing capacity, easy serviceability, and thermal efficiency, the DC P4500 is now available in the revolutionary ruler form factor. An SSD Built for Cloud Storage Architectures The cloud continues to drive innovation, new services, and agility for businesses which are seeing the need to deploy services faster, scale effectively, and reduce the human costs of managing assets. Multi-cloud has become a core element for any enterprise strategy, with top cloud providers openly embracing PCIe*/NVMe*-based SSDs because of the scalable performance, low latency, and continued innovation. Within the shift to the cloud is an increased adoption of software-defined and converged infrastructures. This fast adoption is being driven by the need to increase efficiency, refresh existing hardware, deploy new workloads, and reduce operational expenditures. The DC P4500 significantly increases server agility and utilization, while also accelerating applications, across a wide range of cloud workloads. Optimized for Storage Ecffi iency Across a Range of Workloads This cloud-inspired SSD is built with an entirely new NVMe controller, optimized for read intensive workloads and designed to maximize CPU utilization. With controller support for up to 128 queues, the DC P4500 helps minimize the risk of idle CPU cores and performs most effectively on Intel platforms with Intel Xeon processors. The queue pair-to-CPU core mapping supports high drive count and also supports multiple SSDs scaling on Intel platforms. With the DC P4500, data centers can increase users, add more services, and perform more workloads per server, or quickly repartition to adapt to conditions. Now you can store more and know more.Product Brief Intel 3D NAND SSD DC P4500 Series Power Loss Imminent (PLI) provides protection from Manageability to Maximize IT Ecffi iency unplanned power loss, and is obtained through a propriety The DC P4500 is built for software-defined cloud combination of power management chips, capacitors, firmware infrastructures across the multi-cloud environment to enable algorithms, and a built-in PLI self-test. Intels PLI feature greater efficiency within existing server footprints. provides data centers with high confidence of preventing data loss during unplanned power interrupts. New firmware manageability features help reduce server downtime through improved update processes and expanded monitoring capabilities. Designed for Todays Modern Data Centers The DC P4500 is Intels new 3D NAND SSD for read- SMART management and Intel custom log pages provide intensive workloads in cloud-driven data centers.

Source - Intel. End-to-end data protection refers to the set of methods used to detect and correct the integrity of data across the full path as it is read or written between the host and the SSD controller and media. Test performed on Intel SSD DC S3520 Series, Intel SSD DC P3520, Intel SSD DC P3510, Intel SSD DC P4500, Samsung PM953*, Samsung PM1725*, Samsung PM961*, Samsung PM863*, Micron 7100*, Micron 510DC*, Micron 9100*, HGST SN100*, Seagate 1200.2*, SanDisk CS ECO* drives. Claim is based on average of Intel drive error rates vs. average of competitor drive error rates. Neutron radiation is used to determine silent data corruption rates and as a measure of overall end-to-end data protection effectiveness. Among the causes of data corruption in an SSD controller are ionizing radiation, signal noise and crosstalk, and SRAM instability. Silent errors were measured at run-time and at post-reboot after a drive hang by comparing expected data vs actual data returned by drive. The annual rate of data corruption was projected from the rate during accelerated testing divided by the acceleration of the beam (see JEDEC standard JESD89A). 2. Performance consistency measured using FIO* based on Sequential 64KB QD= 128 (QD=32, workers=4) workload, measured as (IOPS in the 99.9th percentile slowest 1-second interval)/ (average IOPS during the test). Measurements are performed on a full Logical Block Address (LBA) span of the drive once the workload has reached steady state, including all background activities required for normal operation and data reliability. 3. Performance measured with QD=1, and QD=256 (QD=64, workers=4). Measurements performed on the full Logical Block Address (LBA) span of the drive.
