According to BiTMICRO, SoCs comprise the translation and linking of I/O nodes (Talino) high-speed disk controllers, and the Intelligent storage interconnect platform (ISIP) flash memory controllers, which will provide high-performance multi-vendor support for large arrays of flash devices.

Both controllers are expected to be deployed in BitMICRO's maxIO SSDs. maxIO storage devices will be very high performance SSDs packaged in industry-standard form factors and interfaces.

Kilopass' XPM memory technology will be utilised to store SSD boot-up code, and to perform factory-floor programming to reduce the inventory management cost.

"After evaluating a number of alternatives, we chose Kilopass' XPM memory technology since it provides the best standard logic CMOS solution for our secure software storage," says Rudy Bruce, executive vice-president for marketing and sales at BiTMICRO Networks. "XPM technology will become part of the new storage revolution that will change the way in which business enterprises store, process, and retrieve information," Bruce explains.
