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.
