Greenliant Systems is an American manufacturer of NAND flash memory-based solid state storage and controller semiconductors for embedded systems and data center products. Greenliant Systems was founded by Bing Yeh in 2010,[1][2][3] and is headquartered in Santa Clara, California along with offices in North America, Europe and Asia.[4][5]

History[edit]

SST's founder and CEO Bing Yeh founded Greenliant along with other former SST executives after the acquisition.[6] Silicon Storage Technology (SST) developed NANDrive technology, and was acquired in April 2010 by Microchip Technology. In May 2010, Greenliant acquired NANDrive technology and other assets from Microchip for an estimated $23.6 million.[7][8][9]

The Greenliant logo symbolizes a multi-chip module with an energy-efficient core and the name represents green and reliable.[10]

Greenliant Systems announced in June 2015, began work with PLDA (Probabilistic Linear Discriminant Analysis), on a PCIe SSD controller.[11]

Products[edit]

In November 2010, Greenliant began sampling its Serial ATA interface NANDrive GLS85LS products, which had up to 64GB capacity in a 14mm × 24mm × 1.95mm, 145 BGA (ball grid array), 1mm ball pitch package.[12][13][14]

In June 2012, Greenliant began sampling its embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) interface NANDrive GLS85VM products, which operate at industrial temperatures between -40 and +85 degrees, and are offered in a 14mm × 18mm × 1.40mm, 100-ball, 1mm ball pitch package.[15][16][17]

Greenlights SSD's and Memory Cards are mainly for Industrial and Automotive/Transportation Applications. The companies SSD's and Memory Cards will be showcased in Shanghai, China in June 2023.[18][19][20]

Variations[edit]

Greenliant's products include the GLS88ETx ArmourDrive™ Solid State Drives, ArmourDrive™ QX Memory Cards, G3100 SATA 2.5” PX Series Enterprise SSDs, and the ArmourDrive™ PX Industrial Memory Cards.[21][22]
