SOLID STATE DISKS LTD

A leading defense customer of Solid State Disks required an emulation of their obsolete Adtron flash drive as well as some functional improvements before approval. They needed a dual Flash card drive, where data could be written to both cards simultaneously. All of this work had to be completed within a tight time frame to eliminate potential host down time.
The Challenges:
1. To design a modified SSDL SF250 product to the revised requirement
2. To create a prototype, so that the customer was able to trial and request further modifications
3. To design a SF250 adaptor to meet the customer’s requirement.
4. To complete the design and approval testing within a tight deadline.

The Solution and Payoff
1. Custom firmware with revised hardware to addressed the above with 100% host compatibility
2. Fast, efficient field replacement
3. Increased reliability & downtime by eliminating moving parts
4. Provided a transparent interface from the Legacy switch to solid state
