For over two decades, Phison has been at the forefront of storage ingenuity, delivering unrivalled solid-state drive (SSD) and NAND controller expertise, and crafting flash solutions that power enterprise applications globally. The company has recently taken its SSD technology to the next level with Phison Pascari – a commercially available, multi-series line of off-the-shelf and customizable SSD products designed for today’s big data and artificial intelligence (AI) demands.
Until now, Phison SSDs could only be sourced through one of Phison’s private-label OEM customers. Now, Phison Pascari-branded enterprise SSDs are on the shelf in distribution channels around the world and are easily accessible to any organization.
Where does the name Pascari come from?
The letters in the name Pascari stand for performance, AI, security, capacity, acceleration, reliability and innovation—capabilities that make up its variety of SSD form factors:
-
-
- Performance X-Series — Top-tier performance and energy efficiency
- Data Center D-Series — Compatible with industry-standard and custom data center servers
- Boot Drive B-Series — Boot drives designed for high-volume rack scale environments
- SATA S-Series — Built to extend the life of existing servers and current infrastructure
- aiDAPTIV+ | AI-Series — Enables large-language model (LLM) training on minimal hardware
-
Pascari is built on three powerful pillars
Phison is more than just a pioneer in flash storage technology. It has leveraged its intellectual property (IP) portfolio to develop comprehensive PCI Express (PCIe) ecosystems crucial in the infrastructure of modern data centers. And Phison is a leader in producing integrated circuit (IC) signal retimers and redrivers, essential components for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed data transmission.
Phison brings that legacy of expertise and innovation to its new Phison Pascari line of products, unveiled in May 2024, which are designed to:
