Abstract
Embodiments of the inventive concept include Open Cloud Server (OCS)-compliant and other enterprise servers having high-density modular non-volatile flash memory blades and associated multi-card modules. A modular non-volatile flash memory blade can be seated within a 1 U tray. The flash memory blade can include a server motherboard and multiple non-volatile flash memory blade multi-card modules. Each of the multi-card modules can include a printed circuit board, a switch coupled to the printed circuit board, a module power port, an input/output port, and riser card slots to receive solid state drive riser cards. The solid state drive riser cards can be seated within a corresponding riser card slot of the multi-card modules, and can each include multiple solid state drive chips. The server motherboard can communicate with the solid state drive chips via the cable connector riser cards and associated cables. The switch can expand each upstream port to multiple downstream ports associate with the solid state drive chips.
