Smart Storage on Arm
Arm technology powers the world’s leading hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs). Our verified, energy-efficient processors, system IP, and security combined with the world’s largest ecosystem and support, allow our semiconductor partners to meet the needs of their storage applications – both now and for the future.
The combination of ready-to-run, open-source code from Linux and Arm’s singular toolchain reduces fragmentation and provides a common foundation for fast development.
Arm’s Cortex processors and system IP offer a high-performance and energy-efficient solution that are designed for complex computing tasks for storage-based devices.
Reduce risk and achieve success by choosing proven Arm technology that has been integrated into billions of storage devices to-date.
A Guide to Computational Storage on Arm
To be successful in this increasingly digital world, organizations need the infrastructure and technology to be capable of delivering and storing data and analytics in a fast, secure and efficient way. Computational storage enables organizations to create customer value by maximizing the benefits of big data. It puts processing power directly on the storage device, giving companies quick and easy access to vital information.
This easy-to-read guide provides an introduction to computational storage and its benefits, walking through real-world examples of how it's deployed today and what to consider when implementing it in your device.
"We believe that more than 4TB of data will be generated daily by just one autonomous vehicle. Pre-processing will be essential in order to decide which data should be uploaded... [and] computational storage can be a great tool to manage this pre-processing in the most effective and productive way."

Advance Driver Assistance Systems
Cypress Semiconductor Corporation embedded an Arm Cortex-M0 in its new family of NOR flash memory solutions to meet the growing needs of its Advance Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) customers. NOR solutions enable the processing of complex embedded algorithms for enhanced, more reliable memory, as well as real-time functional safety monitoring to the industry’s stringent ISO 26262 standard.
NVMe Computational Storage Platform
NVMe Computational Storage Platform NGD Systems Newport Platform makes it possible to implement intelligent edge and hyperscale environments with much greater efficiency and with lower cost. Powered by Arm Cortex-A53 processors, the Newport Platform offers the highest capacity NVMe SSDs and leverages in-situ processing to eliminate the need for data movement to main memory prior to processing, removing a major bottleneck that’s never previously been addressed.
Arm Flexible Access offers a simple way to evaluate and fully design system-on-chip (SoC) storage solutions with a wide-ranging mix of Arm IP before committing to production, paying only for what is used at manufacture. With Flexible Access, prototype a design with proven IP including Cortex-A53, Cortex-R8, Cortex-R5 and Cortex-M7 processors, as well as system controllers, security IP and CoreSight Debug and Trace to help reduce your time to market.
Design verification, physical design, and software development directly affect the time to market
and cost of a complete SoC and software stack. Discover how the Arm ecosystem has evolved
to address these challenges and maximize success.
