Overview

The Quattro 400 enables legacy servers to unlock the performance and capacity of NVMe storage at scale. By adding high-speed M.2 NVMe drives through a single PCIe Gen3 slot, systems can achieve a significant boost in throughput and storage density without costly platform upgrades.

Built on Aplicata’s low-latency PCIe switch architecture, the Quattro 400 delivers the flexibility needed to adapt storage to application demands. Up to four M.2 NVMe drives can be added to a system, allowing architects to mix performance and capacity as needed and easily upgrade drives as higher-capacity options become available. This approach extends the useful life of existing servers while delivering modern NVMe performance.

The onboard non-blocking PCIe fabric supports multiple data path configurations. Drives can be allocated for fast boot and application acceleration, while others can be grouped into software RAID for data integrity and resilience. This flexibility makes the Quattro 400 well suited for performance-intensive and data-critical workloads.

Designed as a full-height half-length PCIe adapter with an eight-lane connector, the Quattro 400 fits into the vast majority of enterprise and legacy server platforms. To ensure consistent performance under sustained workloads, it includes a passive heatsink that prevents NVMe drives from overheating and throttling.
