Mobiveil's UNEX NVM Express IP Passes University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) Testing

Industry's First UNH-Certified NVM Express Controller IP on the NVM Express Integrators List; UNEX NVM Express IP Ensures SoC Designs Will Be Compliant and Interoperable With Enterprise Server Platforms and Operating Systems

MILPITAS, CA-- March 13, 2014 - Mobiveil, Inc., a fast growing supplier of silicon intellectual property (SIP), platforms and IP-enabled Engineering Services today announced that its UNEX NVM Express Controller IP passed NVM Express compliance and interoperability testing at the recently concluded University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) plugfest. The UNH-IOL is a highly respected laboratory that provides independent, broad-based interoperability and standards conformance testing for data, telecommunications and storage networking products and technologies. The Lab recently validated that Mobiveil's NVM Express IP fully meets the NVM Express 1.1 specification compliance and interoperability tests. This achievement assures SoC designers licensing Mobiveil IP for their accelerated development of high performance PCIe solid state drive (SSD) solutions will be fully compliant.

"Passing these compliance and interoperability tests and becoming first NVMe controller IP provider in the Industry to be listed on the UNH-IOL Integrators list is a significant milestone in the development of our NVM Express IP, which is part of our expanding portfolio of SIP targeting fast emerging PCIe SSD storage market," said Ravi Thummarukudy, CEO of Mobiveil. "We worked closely with NVM Express consortium as well as the UNH-IOL in our effort to achieve this significant milestone. Other IP in our storage portfolio are GPEX™, a PCI-SIG certified Gen3 PCI Express Controller, DDR4/3 Controller and Flash Controller."

"We are pleased Mobiveil has passed NVM Express 1.1 compliance and interoperability testing with its NVM Express IP solution," said Amber Huffman, chairperson for the NVM Express Workgroup and senior principal engineer, Intel Storage Technologies Group. "UNH Certified IP will enable interoperability between products and increase the pace of adoption of NVM Express technology in the fast growing SSD market."

About Mobiveil's NVM Express Solution

Mobiveil offers a complete subsystem design for accelerating PCIe SSD product development. At the center of this subsystem is its highly configurable and feature rich NVM Express controller IP, UNEX, which is available with AXI interface for easy integration into FPGAs and SoCs targeting high performance SSD solutions. Other IP components in the subsystem include highly configurable PCI-SIG certified PCI Express Gen3 (GPEX), DDR4/3 and ONFI Controllers. To enable faster product development for its customers, Mobiveil with its overall IC and system expertise also offers a complete FPGA development platform with a board support package and low-level drivers to validate the solution against their user applications.

"The UNH-IOL's latest NVMe Interoperability Plugfest presented an opportunity for NVMe implementers like Mobiveil to assess their products' compliance with the NVMe specification and test for interoperability," said David Woolf, senior technical staff for the UNH-IOL. "We're pleased with the results of the plugfest, including the successful placement of Mobiveil's NVM Express IP on the UNH-IOL NVMe Integrators List."
