Architecture
The IO Accelerators contain technology obtained from the company Fusion-io. HP is the first company to create a product based on Fusion-io's ioMemory architecture, and is also the first to make it available to blade servers.
The adapter combines NAND flash memory (either SLC or MLC) with a custom controller chip (beneath the heat sink) that interfaces directly to the PCI Express fabric of the server. The card has 25 channels of NAND Flash that are accessed in parallel.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“In short, the building becomes a theatrical demonstration of its functional ideal. In this romanticism, High-Tech architecture is, of course, no different in spirit—if totally different in form—from all the romantic architecture of the past.”
—Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
“Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
