KIOXIA America, Inc. today announced that its CM6 and CD6 Series of PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs have earned VMware vSAN 7.0 certification, enabling them to be shared across connected hosts in a VMware vSphere cluster. Users can pool KIOXIA SSDs together in a single, distributed, shared data-store and define the storage capabilities required (such as performance, capacity and availability) for each connected virtual machine within the VMware vSAN cluster. These capabilities not only further hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) options in virtual environments, but also ensure that storage policies are administered and maintained within the CM6 and CD6 Series with vSAN compatibility.
This certification allows VMware vSAN support for both hybrid and all-flash configurations using a two-tier storage architecture, capacity tier and cache. All write operations are sent to the cache tier and are subsequently de-staged to the capacity tier over time. When a CM6 or CD6 Series SSD is deployed within a hybrid configuration, its cache tier is used as both a read and write cache, staging hot data to improve system performance. In an all-flash configuration, 100 percent of the cache tier is used for the write buffer. Given the benefits of tiered storage, CM6 and CD6 SSDs are capable of meeting the demanding requirements of both enterprise and data center customers.

Managing massive datasets is excessively complex and costly. Today, Seagate Technology Holdings plc, a world leader in mass-data storage infrastructure solutions, announced the new Exos® Application Platform (AP) with a new controller featuring 2nd Gen AMD EPYC™ processors. The efficient, scalable, affordable end-to-end compute and storage platform delivers integrated compute and storage in a single enclosure optimizing rack space utilization, power efficiency, heat dissipation, and storage density.
The need for advanced storage solutions continues to rise to unprecedented levels with the ever-increasing growth in data generation. According to a report commissioned by Seagate and conducted by the research firm IDC, Rethink Data, enterprise data is expected to grow at an average rate of 42.2% over the next two years. The survey, which was conducted by IDC, also found that only 32% of data available to enterprises is put to work. The remaining 68% is unleveraged.

Leading global memory provider TEAMGROUP has been actively expanding in the industrial control field for many years. With the arrival of the new DDR5 generation, the company today announced the DDR5 ECC DIMM and DDR5 R-DIMM Industrial Server Memory modules. In recent years, there has been a steady growth in AI and HPC data applications, driving memory specifications toward higher capacities and greater performance. To meet this rising demand, TEAMGROUP has created multiple solutions with its latest innovations of DDR5 industrial server memory.
Its next-gen server memory modules can reach speeds of 6,400MT/s, come with a maximum capacity of up to 128GB, and operate at 1.1V, resulting in lower overall power consumption. The memory also features two innovations in its power supply architecture and channel architecture. The new power supply architecture shifts power management from the motherboard to the DIMM itself, enhancing signal integrity and resistance to interference. The channel architecture is updated with two independent sub-channels per memory module (DIMM) to significantly improve memory access efficiency and meet the elevated demands of smart platform applications.

KINGMAX, a world-renowned professional supplier of memory products, has introduced the latest DDR5 4800MHz 16GB desktop memory. Fully compatible with Intel’s 12th-generation Alder Lake and Z690 platform, it has secured the QVL certification of a good number of main stream motherboard manufacturers, thereby attesting to its platform compatibility essential for this new era for PCs already here.
Compared with its predecessors, DDR5 4800MHz memory stands out as an utter upgrade in overall performance. In terms of speed, DDR5 starts with a base frequency of 4800MHz and its bandwidth of 38.4MB/s is at least 1.5 times faster than the maximum of 25.6MB/s offered by its DDR4 3200MHz peers. Coupled with dual sub-channels (32-bit) that run independently, data processing becomes substantially more efficient as the memory controller enjoys a much lower data access latency. Furthermore, on-die error correction code (ECC) goes a long way toward increasing reliability by minimizing errors; the DDR5 device can thus expect to keep up stability and data integrity while running at ultrahigh speed. Last but not least, an on-module power management integrated circuit (PMIC) can attain optimal power allocation across the board, thereby ensuring stable and efficient power supply while reducing interference and enhancing signal integrity.

QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading computing, and storage solutions innovator, partnered with ULINK Technology Inc. (ULINK), a world leader in providing IT storage interface test tools, to launch the DA Drive Analyzer. By leveraging cloud-based AI, this drive failure prediction tool allows users to take proactive steps to protect against server downtime and data loss by replacing drives before they fail.
The DA Drive Analyzer leverages statistics generated from ULINK’s cloud AI portal. Driven by historical usage data of millions of drives provided by users just like yourself, the DA Drive Analyzer’s drive health prediction applies machine learning to track historical behaviors and is able to find drive failure events that won’t be flagged by traditional diagnostics tools that rely on S.M.A.R.T. thresholds. Its user interface is also much more friendly and intuitive, allowing you to make plans to replace drives based on clearly defined drive information.
