Data Centre 500 Series
Both DC500R and DC500M feature enterprise-class reliability with end-to-end data path protection, SMART health monitoring and strong ECC. They’ve got read-centric design for performance in high read-intensive workloads (DC500R) and mixed-use design for balanced performance in high read/write-intensive workloads (DC500M). They implement strict QoS requirements to ensure predictable random I/O performance as well as predictable low latencies over a wide range of read and write workloads. Included on-board power-loss protection (PLP) via power capacitors. This ensures data-in-flight is written to the NAND Flash memory and safeguards reduce the chance of data loss.
Enterprise Data Centre SSD
Delivering on business demands for 24/7 uptime and reliability, Kingston Enterprise SSDs offer high-performing storage that combines predictable performance with rigorously tested reliability. Kingston’s DC500 Series SSDs offer features that enable data centres to select the most cost-effective SSD for their workload(s). Businesses require results in order to deliver on products, solutions and service level agreements (SLAs). Kingston’s DC500 Series SSDs are designed to deliver on these expectations.
End-to-end Protection
The DC500 series SSDs incorporate end-to-end data path protection to help guarantee that all user data transferred into the SSD is protected against transient errors. The DC500R and DC500M both include on-board power-loss protection (PLP) via power capacitors and firmware. This ensures data-in-flight is written to the NAND Flash memory in the event of unexpected power loss. Additionally, PLP ensures that the drives’ mapping table (FTL) is updated prior to power being removed from the drive. These power loss safeguards reduce the chance of data loss and ensure that the drive will successfully re-initialise on the next power-up of the system.
Real-time results with big data.
Responsiveness resulting from low latency and consistent I/O performance delivers the QoS that businesses need for demanding read-centric workloads.
Profound transactional processing
Exceptional balance of consistent I/O delivery and high read and write IOPS performance to manage a wide range of transactional workloads.
Reduce application latencies
Data centres that host databases and web-based applications can leverage the predictable I/O and latency performance.
On-board power capacitors and firmware add another layer of power loss protection
Hardware-based, controlled power loss protection (PLP) to reduce the possibility of data corruption during ungraceful power failures.
Application use cases
Designed for service providers running a wide range of customer applications including:
- Virtualisation
- High-speed databases
- High-bandwidth media streaming
- SQL server reporting services (SSRS)
- SAP
- BI, ERP, CRM, GL, OLAP, OLTP, ERM and EDW workloads
- Cloud service providers
KINGSTON DC500R
DC500R is a highly optimised SSD designed for read-centric workloads, enabling data centres to select SSDs tailored for workloads without overspending on more expensive write-intensive SSDs. It delivers I/O speeds and response times (latency) that a data centre can deploy with confidence to ensure high levels of performance in the working application and downstream at the user interface. These are typically defined by applications that require real-time results. Serving large amounts of data and delivering responsive results from a variety of databases and web-based applications can leverage the receptive performance of the DC500R.
KINGSTON DC500M
DC500M is a powerful SSD designed for mixed-use workload applications where the demand has a more balanced mix of read and write operations. It delivers greater write endurance over a wide range of workloads while maintaining the strict performance consistency requirements designed into all of Kingston’s data centre SSDs. Data centres that host databases and various web-based applications can leverage the predictable I/O and latency performance while controlling infrastructure costs.
