Certified by SANBlaze

With the Certified by SANBlaze program NVMe SSD Manufacturers can run a series of automated tests to determine if their drives are complaint with the latest specs. Included in SBCert is the full CDL-approved OCP 2.0 test suite, with ongoing development for OCP 2.5.

Third-Party Validation

UNH-IOL relies on SANBlaze turnkey OCP solutions for all of their test services around OCP 2.0 and OCP 2.5. UNH remains in continuous communication with SANBaze engineers as we continue to develop future OCP test scripts.

SANBlaze will participate in an OCP panel discussion at the 2024 OCP Summit. Join Rick Walsh, Sr. VP SANBlaze and ​

other noted panelists at the OCP Summit 2024, October 15th - 17th. Be sure to stop by to see us at Booth #C55.

OCP Test Suites Available with Gen5 Hardware

The Certified by SANBlaze tests are bundled with the software when customers purchase an SANBlaze SBExpress-RM5 or an SBExpress-DT5 desk top unit. You simply choose the tests you want to perform, add them to the test bed, and click Start. The Certified by SANBlaze software does the rest, reporting the results in real-time and in beautifully created reports.

Certified by SANBlaze is a mark of confidence that the drives undergoing testing have passed the most stringent quality assurance and compliance testing for NVMe SSDs.

In addition to OCP, Certified by SANBlaze also offers test suites for FDP (Flexible Data Placement), SPDM, ZNS, NVMe-MI, TCG, SRIS clocking, and T10/DIF. Test criteria includes Failures, Warnings, Passed and Skipped, shown if one or more drives is not behaving the way that it should, allowing for the quick diagnosing of any problems before the drive goes out into the field.

The Open Compute Project (OCP)

The Open Compute Project (OCP) was formed to quicken innovation for open-source hardware solutions in hyper-scale data center environments. OCP requires that Solid State Storage Drives (SSDs) adhere to the OCP’s NVMe Cloud SSD Specification v2.0 or the newer Datacenter NVMe SSD specification v2.5.

​​SANBlaze provides built-in software for testing an OCP drive, which must be tested to a minimum standard above and beyond the standard mandatory NVMe features, as well as specifying minimum reliability, thermal, endurance, management, and form factor requirements.

OCP specs may be found at https://www.opencompute.org.
