The family of Seagate® Nytro application acceleration cards is designed to offer high performance withlow latency and a low CPU burden. The Nytro cards accelerate applications such as data warehousing,data mining, data analytics, online transaction processing, high performance computing and big data.Their PCIe host interface standard, enterprise drivers and small form factors make them more flexibleand easier to integrate into today’s low-profile, high-performance system chassis.Improve Application PerformanceThe Nytro cards are designed to improve application performance and maximize return on investrment.Nytro cards can greatly improve end-user-level performance because less power, cooling and serverrequirements can significantly lower CAPEX and total cost of ownership.Sophisticated ArchitectureThe Nytro cards are built on the latest enterprise-level solid state technologies and include sophisticatedadvanced features to help deliver consistently high levels of performance, endurance, and reliabilityunder some of the most demanding conditions. Seagate DuraWrite™ technology optimizes the number ofprogram cycles to the flash storage, effectively extending the rated write endurance of the flash storageby 8x or more when compared to standard controllers.Other sophisticated algorithms and dedicated onboard hardware resources handle complex flashmanagement tasks like garbage collection and wear leveling. Leveraging these advanced features, theNytro cards deliver the performance and endurance needed for accelerating critical business applications.The Nytro cards contain no moving parts to maintain and require no user configuration at set-up andthey include a management infrastructure for extensive monitoring, including health, error rate andfailure monitoring.
