Retimers and redrivers have enabled longer physical channels in servers and storage systems since Peripheral Component Interface Express (PCIe^®) 3.0 specification was first introduced almost 10 years ago.

Earlier this month, I attended another eventful Flash Memory Summit (FMS) and I am pleased to say that PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) was around every corner at this year’s event.

This year’s Flash Memory Summit (FMS) is coming up on August 6. As PCI Express technologies continue to evolve and make strides in the industry, PCI-SIG^® is excited to highlight our participation in the growth of flash storage.

This June 18-19, PCI-SIG and its 800+ member companies return to the Santa Clara Convention Center for the largest member event of the year: the Annual Members Meeting and Developers Conference.

PCI-SIG has built its reputation on delivering high quality PCI Express^® (PCIe) specifications that have doubled bandwidth on average every three years, while maintaining full backwards compatibility with prior generations.

his year, I was lucky enough to be able to attend and present at the Open Compute Project Summit and though it has come and gone by now, I’m already looking forward to the next one!
