JANUARY 8TH, 2012 by Brian
OCZ showed off three unannounced enterprise storage solutions, along with a portable external SSD at Storage Visions. The showcase includes four high-speed connection types, including PCIe with the new Z-Drive R4 CloudServ, SAS 6.0Gb/s with the DRAM-powered æonDriv, SATA 6.0Gb/s with the new Everest-powered Chiron SSD, and even a consumer-targeted Lightfoot external SSD utilizing Intel's Thunderbolt.

OCZ Lightfoot Portable SSD

Lightfoot is an external SSD that leverage's Intel's Thunderbolt interface which is capable of up to 750 MB/s transfer speeds. Lightfoot will be available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB capacities. Release date and pricing isn't immediately available. 

OCZ Z-Drive R4 CloudServ

The CloudServ uses SandForce's latest SSD processor, the SF-2481, which is designed just for use in enterprise cloud computing environments. The R4 CloudServ offers up to 16TB of solid state storage on a single PCIe card. On the performance front this translates to throughput speeds of up to 6.5 GB/s and over 1.4 million IOPS. Other highlights include OCZ's VCA 2.0, two SuperScale accelerators and low CPU and DRAM usage. 

OCZ Chiron SSD

The OCZ Chiron is a 3.5" enterprise grade SSD that offers capacity points up to 4TB with a SATA interface, a new capacity record for 3.5" SSDs. In practical terms, this means up to 96GB of SSD storage in a 4U rackmount server. Chiron uses an Indilinx processor to generate throughput of 560 MB/s and 100,000 IOPS.

OCZ æonDrive

The æonDrive is a drive that uses DRAM as NV memory instead of NAND, making endurance a non-issue. The æonDrive uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface to deliver ultra-low latency speeds and throughput of 140,000 4K IOPS and in excess of 500,000 512b IOPS. This drive is aimed at financial and high transactional type uses.
