BittWare’s IA-220-U2 is a Computational Storage Processor conforming to the U.2 form factor. Ideal for NVMe acceleration, it features an Agilex™ 7 FPGA supporting PCIe Gen4 directly coupled to local DDR4 memory. This energy-efficient, flexible compute node is intended to be deployed within conventional U.2 NVMe storage arrays (approximately 1:8 ratio), allowing FPGA-accelerated instances of Erasure Coding and Deduplication; Compression, Encryption & Hashing; String/Image Search and Database Sort/ Join/Filter; and Machine Learning Inference
