Embedded systems running these specialized operating systems are typically less sophisticated than standard PC or server architectures and therefore have unique needs, especially as it relates to embedded storage.
From a storage design perspective, STEC addresses many of the flash management challenges posed by NAND flash architecture including:
- Total Drive Wear-Leveling for maximum endurance
- Advanced error correction (ECC) to improve data integrity
- Power-down data protection to protect against data corruption in the event of an unexpected power loss
This leading flash management capability is enabled by STEC’s proprietary flash controller technology and in-house designs, which include both commercial temperature (0°C to 70°C) and industrial temperature (-40°C to 85°C) support. STEC also uniquely serves the needs of embedded system designers through its focus on industrial OEM customer needs where intangibles like BOM control, product change notifications, ISO 9001 quality procedures, post-sale service and support, and supply-chain management are of great value to managing embedded system designs.
STEC is 100% focused on the needs of embedded and industrial OEM system designers and offers a full line of card and module solutions to meet their unique storage technology and business needs. As a pioneer and leader in the industrial flash storage industry, STEC is uniquely positioned to offer the broadest range of industrial flash storage solutions in the industry. This provides customers with a convenient, one-stop-shop as well as a common flash storage framework for which to design embedded systems around and integrate seamlessly into future applications. Furthermore, because STEC develops its own controller technology and card/module designs, customers can rely on innovative flash storage solutions leveraging next generation interfaces including
SATA,
PCIe,
USB,
SD, and other emerging technologies.
