IntelliProp NVMe-to-NVMe Bridge (IPC-NV171A-BR)

The IntelliProp NVMe-to-NVMe Bridge IP Core combines our high-performance NVMe Host Accelerator Core and NVMe Target Core into a single, integrated architecture. This combination creates a powerful, transparent, and non-disruptive NVMe Protocol Bridge capable of sitting directly on the PCIe bus, linking a host system to one or more NVMe storage devices. Its core utility lies in its ability to intercept and modify command submissions, completion notifications, and data transmissions in real-time.

Key Differentiator: Store and Forward Processing The core leverages full Store and Forward buffering on data payloads. This is essential as it ensures that the entire block of data is available for processing before it is committed to the final destination. This capability, combined with the unique, dedicated "Sandbox" area, provides a secure and flexible space for customers to implement their custom RTL and firmware, enabling advanced in-line processi...

This capability, combined with the unique, dedicated "Sandbox" area, provides a secure and flexible space for customers to implement their custom RTL and firmware, enabling advanced in-line processing features that significantly enhance data center efficiency.

This versatile IP is ideally suited for high-value applications in demanding markets including: Computational Storage Drives (CSD): Directly enabling data-in-motion services such as encryption, compression/deduplication, or LBA remapping directly on the device with minimal host overhead.

Storage Aggregation and Expansion: Connecting and managing multiple NVMe SSDs in a unified fabric for high-capacity, high-density storage solutions.

High-Performance Compute (HPC) & Data Center: Accelerating data transfer between processing units and storage, building high-speed storage networks, and creating specialized storage appliances.

High-Speed Data Recording: Enabling reliable, real-time data logging systems requiring integrity checks and guaranteed write completion.

Key Features

  • Broad Compatibility: Leverages the robust PCIe Hard IP on Agilex™, Arria® 10, and other Altera FPGA families.
  • Computational Storage Ready: Ideal for offloading complex data functions to the FPGA fabric.
  • Host Transparency: Appears as a standard NVMe drive to the Host, requiring no change to the host's operating system or drivers.
  • High Performance: Fully compliant with NVMe 2.0 and PCIe Gen5 standards, supporting sustained, high-throughput data processing on the highest-end devices.
