The Altera NAND storage reference design is based on the Altera Arria® 10 SoC. It implements Mobiveil's Universal NVM Express Controller (UNEX), a configurable controller for PCIe-based SSDs, and NVMdurance's NAND flash optimization software. The reference design enables data center operators to leverage the most advanced 3D NAND technology without the long design cycles required with ASIC designs.

In addition, Altera is showcasing memory application development kits and cards that can address requirements for the following:

    --  High speed, and for low latency IO interfaces and protocols
    --  SSD controllers
    --  OpenCL-based accelerators
    --  Optical PCIe
    --  Non-volatile DIMMs and memories.
