Broadcom is now sampling the first NVMe/SAS/SATA controllers and its NVMe software portfolio. The company's portfolio includes:

• PCIe Switches: Provider of PCIe Switches with over 120 Million ports shipped.
• NVMe Server/JBOF Management Software: Used with Broadcom's NVMe Switches, the solution software accelerates and simplifies the development of NVMe based servers/JBOF.
• NVMe Storage Adapters (HBA/RAID): As a provider of SAS/SATA storage controllers, HBA, and RAID adapters,
• Broadcom is sampling the first combined NVMe/SAS/SATA storage controllers.
• NVMe SSD Controllers: Manufacturer of custom SSD controllers with greater than 50% share of the enterprise NVMe
• SSD's deployed and over a dozen NVMe SSD controllers in production.

Broadcom’s 6th generation PCIe Switches (PEX 9700) provide a scalable solution to deploy NVMe drives in servers and external storage systems. The PEX 9700 series offers seven models from 12 to 97 lanes and features including NVMe surprise add/remove, sharing across multiple hosts with failover, and QoS capabilities.

Broadcom’s NVMe/SAS/SATA Storage Adapter brings NVMe performance benefits to the storage tier by providing connectivity and data protection that MegaRAID has provided for over 20 years for SAS/SATA interfaces. Broadcom has developed the first storage controller with Tri-Mode SerDes, enabling system designs to support any combination of NVMe, SAS and SATA devices.The company says that this controller provides up to a 50% latency reduction and a 60% throughput increase compared to its previous generation. Broadcom is now sampling the NVMe hardware RAID solution.

Broadcom’s latest suite of custom SSD controller IP tightly integrates all layers of the NVMe protocol, PCIe controller, and SerDes physical layer.
