Businesses need immediate access to ever-increasing amounts of data and, at the same time, face challenges with security and CAPEX costs. With its 16 nanometer (nm) DPU architecture, Panther III delivers breakthrough data reduction, encryption, deduplication and protection and sets a new standard for storage acceleration with high throughput of 200 Gbps and ultra-low single-pass transformation latency.

Panther III opens up new opportunities in the storage market, including all-flash systems and NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) systems. As with previous generations of Panther products, Panther III offers powerful data reduction technology that intelligently offloads the CPU to open all storage tiers to their full bandwidth potential without CPU or software limitations. These capabilities enable smarter and faster delivery of datasets, high-performance analytics, and better workload accuracy in the rapidly growing Edge for public cloud disaggregated computing.

“Data center all-flash NVMe SSD storage arrays recently saw shipment growth of 58% over the past year. NVMe enables faster storage speeds and the need for high performance storage features through hardware acceleration,” said Dennis Hahn, principal analyst at Omdia. “The data rates behind NVMe arrays make software-based approaches to data storage too expensive. Along with a fast-growing NVMe SSD CAGR of 47% over 5 years, Omdia expects storage hardware acceleration to continue to take hold in enterprise-focused data centers, cloud and white boxes.

“Panther III is coming to market at a critical inflection point for enterprise storage appliances and disaggregated large-scale data center computing storage systems,” said James Lougheed, vice president of analog products and high performance accelerators. “With the rise of higher-speed NVMe SSD deployment, software-based data reduction and compression techniques are no longer viable architectures. Even existing hardware compression offload solutions lack the capability to The release of Panther III elevates the product family into a class of its own, ready to respond to a data storage market that doubles its capacity in zettabytes every three years.

The scalability and flexibility of the DPU architecture enables the Panther III series to provide the storage solution with 12:1 data reduction, a comprehensive security suite and lower CAPEX costs for use in data centers. data while providing ultra-reliable data protection. The flexible compression algorithms offered in Panther III enable simple data temperature transition optimizing access latency for hot, hot and cold data. When combined with Panther Class of Service (CoS) and decode-only DPU transform engines to prioritize traffic management for provisioning, service agreements are enforced and lightning-fast access to reads of ultra-hot data is provided.

Panther III unleashes the true power of data storage through intelligent engineering and innovation:

• Faster NVMe Access: The combination of NVMe SSD growth and Panther III 200 Gbps throughput with ultra-low latency enables faster access to larger data sets (big data), enabling higher performance data analysis to deliver better workload accuracy
• Reduction of fixed asset storage expenses (CAPEX): Exclusive patent-pending MaxHash provides independent hash block size and programmable offset to improve deduplication success rates, resulting in improved efficient storage capacity and $/GB savings
• Quick system integration: Feature-rich software development kit (SDK) contains API, drivers, and source code for easy integration with end application software and software-defined storage (SDS)
• Meet the reliability of Six 9: Built-in end-to-end data protection via real-time verification (RTV) of all transforms, NVMe protection, and inline CRCs/parity ensures data integrity and eliminates data loss

MaxLinear will offer Panther III in two standard production-ready adapter cards, OCP 3.0 and PCIe. The Panther III MxL8807A-EA-B is now sampling. Visit www.maxlinear.com/panther.
