Design Gateway’s muNVMe-IP is a high-performance, multi-user NVMe Host Controller IP core designed for Altera FPGA platforms with PCIe Gen4 support. Unlike traditional NVMe solutions that rely on CPUs and software stacks, muNVMe-IP operates entirely in hardware—offering low latency, simplified architecture, and full support for concurrent access by multiple applications. Its efficient design makes it ideal for mission-critical environments such as aerospace, defense, and industrial automation. muNVMe-IP enables up to four independent user interfaces to simultaneously access a single NVMe SSD. Each user can read or write data directly, eliminating bottlenecks typically caused by software-based file system handling. This architecture not only enhances real-time responsiveness but also reduces development effort through provided reference designs, making muNVMe-IP a powerful choice for next-generation NVMe-based storage systems.
