From introducing game-changing new technologies to being the first to deliver PCIe 4.0 U.3 SSDs, KIOXIA America, Inc. (formerly Toshiba Memory America, Inc.), continues to demonstrate its commitment to delivering cutting-edge flash solutions. This dedication will be on full display at this week’s Open Compute Project (OCP) Virtual Summit and Future Technologies Symposium, where KIOXIA will showcase its data center and enterprise solid state drive (SSD) portfolio. At the Summit, KIOXIA will highlight its CM6 and CD6 Series PCIe 4.0 NVMe enterprise and data center SSDs, KumoScale storage software based on NVM Express over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) and a new Software-Enabled Flash (SEF) technology that redefines digital storage.
KIOXIA has the broadest portfolio of SSDs in the market, including SSDs for client PCs, data center, hyperscale, high-end servers and storage systems.
Bringing Next-Level Performance to the Data Center
KIOXIA was the first company to publicly demonstrate PCIe 4.0 SSDs, and is now the first to ship these next-generation drives, which will be demonstrated at OCP. The company’s CM6 Series brings planned performance improvements of up to 2x over its PCIe 3.0 predecessors and is 12x faster than SATA drives1. KIOXIA’s lineup of Gen4 PCIe SSDs also includes the CD6 Series, which is targeted to cloud and scale-out environments.
Redefining Digital Storage
KIOXIA will also introduce SEF technology. SEF combines software flexibility, host control and flash native semantics into a flash native API and purpose-built hardware. SEF will be showcased in KIOXIA’s Executive Track Session led by Eric Ries.
