Product Brief
Powered by Virtual Pipeline™ Technology
The new family of LSI Nytro WarpDrive application acceleration cards is designed to offer high 
performance with low latency and a low CPU burden. The Nytro WarpDrive cards accelerate applications 
such as data warehousing, data mining, data analytics, online transaction processing, high performance 
computing and Hadoop.
Their PCIe host interface standard, enterprise drivers and small form factors make them more flexible 
and easier to integrate into today’s low profile, high performance system chassis.
Improve Application Performance
The Nytro WarpDrive cards are designed to improve application performance. The high performing Nytro 
WarpDrive cards can do the work of hundreds of traditional spinning hard disk drives (HDDs).
Using the Nytro WarpDrive cards in place of traditional HDDs greatly improves end user level performance 
and maximizes return on investment. Fewer hard drives means less power, cooling and servers required 
with the bottom line being significantly lower CAPEX and total cost of ownership. 
Sophisticated Architecture
The Nytro WarpDrive cards are built on the latest enterprise level solid state technologies and include 
sophisticated advanced features to help deliver consistently high levels of performance, endurance, and 
reliability under some of the most demanding conditions. LSI’s DuraWrite
 technology optimizes the 
number of program cycles to the flash storage, effectively extending the rated write endurance of the 
flash storage by 20x or more when compared to standard controllers.
Other sophisticated algorithms and dedicated onboard hardware resources handle complex flash 
management tasks like garbage collection and wear leveling. Leveraging these advanced features the 
Nytro WarpDrive cards deliver the performance and endurance needed for accelerating critical business 
applications. 
The Nytro WarpDrive cards contain no moving parts to maintain and require no user configuration at set-
up and they include a management infrastructure for extensive monitoring including health, error rate 
and failure monitoring.
