fluctuated power supply, indoor/ outdoor, different operation system, or various read / write behaviors… etc. Storage devices need to be designed for accommodating in these scenarios and support flexible and fast adjustment. Durability and performance are both factors that are mostly concerned, but in different application, the setting and trade-off of both factors could be in total opposite. Which again reveals the importance of manageability and flexibility of the storage products. Also, proper simulation conditions from the architects that familiar with the context of application is always helpful to make efficient decisions on choosing suitable storage products. Advantech industrial storage solution – SQFlash has built-in abundant management tool for applying to various of IoT and embedded applications. SQFlash

Flash IC, the Power Failure Saver feature ensures data integrity. SQFlash also features Power Drop Catcher to handle glitches from voltage drops, and Flush Manager to ensure all valid data is safely stored in the Flash IC. The SSD can be optionally built with a Voltage Stabilizer to provide a stable operating environment for SSD components in case of serious power fluctuations. Flexible design of storage to cope with variety of IoT applications Various application scenario is one of the characteristics of IoT application, which requests diversified product specification and design flexibility. On the other hand, storage product need to be adopted in extreme temperature and humidity environments,

with controller IC supports internal AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) enables high standard security that prevents hackers to read data even directly from Flash IC. Further, a complete package of SQFlash Utility AP and API provides advanced security features like Security ID, Write Protection, and Emergency Erase provides excellent conveniences for system integrators to design intelligent systems with complete security total solution. For special requirements, Advantech SQFlash DTOS (design-to-order- service) also supports hardware / firmware / software design to fit customer’s unique applications. Storage product is just like a human brain in a system, which stores all kinds of important data and the process / application that remains the system in normal application, the stability and security of storage is the key.
