The Challenge: Overcoming NVMe SSD Bottlenecks in Embedded Systems

High-speed applications such as aerospace, defense, medical imaging, and network monitoring demand ultra-fast data recording of 10GB/s+. However, traditional Linux-based NVMe storage introduces major bottlenecks:

• High CPU Load – Software-based NVMe drivers limit performance.
• File System Overhead – Standard exFAT implementations slow data access.
• Lack of Real-Time Processing – CPU-driven systems struggle with simultaneous read/write operations.

The Solution: Hardware-Accelerated Storage

Design Gateway’s muNVMe-IP (Multi User NVMe IP) and exFAT2-IP solve these challenges by fully offloading NVMe SSD and file system management to FPGA hardware.

Key Benefits:

• Sustained 10GB/s+ write speeds using PCIe Gen4/Gen5 SSDs.
• Zero CPU dependency – NVMe transactions are managed 100% in hardware.
• exFAT format compatibility – Files can be accessed directly on a Host PC.
• Simultaneous Read/Write support – Ideal for real-time monitoring and logging.

Success Story: Radar Data Recording at 10GB/s+

A leading aerospace firm needed high-speed, real-time radar data capture but faced Linux-based storage limitations.
By integrating muNVMe-IP + exFAT2-IP, they achieved:

• Sustained 10GB/s+ recording speeds
• Real-time FTP access to stored files
• Seamless post-processing on a Host PC

Why Choose FPGA-Based Storage?

With muNVMe-IP + exFAT2-IP, FPGA-based storage solutions offer:

• Blazing-fast data handling with no CPU involvement
• Reliable, real-time access to stored data
• Optimized performance for mission-critical applications
