With the ever-growing importance of security, we continue to see strong industry interest in Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE). As with any new technology, questions have been raised and addressed through new errata.

Wow, 2020 sure has transformed the ways we connect, learn and innovate in industries around the world, and in our daily lives!

PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) technology is the most important high-speed serial bus in servers. Due to its high bandwidth and low latency characteristics, PCI Express architecture is widely used in various server interconnect scenarios, such as:

The SD Association (SDA) recently announced SD Express, which adds the PCI Express^® and NVMe™ interfaces to the SD interface. The PCIe^® interface delivers transfer rates up to 985 megabytes per second (MB/s) and supports backward compatibility with existing SD hosts.

I am happy to share that PCI-SIG^® has begun developing the PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) 6.0 specification, targeted for release in 2021.

On January 22, 2019, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued an emergency directive to mitigate DNS infrastructure tampering intended to disrupt and redirect government and business communications.

At PCI-SIG, we take pride in ensuring that our specifications operate without a hitch. However, sometimes PCI Express developers need to submit Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) to update parts of the specification so that PCIe integrated products can reach their optimal functionality.

PCI Express^® – also known as PCIe – used to get a bad rap for being power hungry on servers and PCs. But I’m happy to say that this is no longer the case. Are you aware that PCIe today is extremely power efficient with built-in low power features?
