KIOXIA’s CM7 Series NVMe SSDs raise the bar for data security with FIPS 140-3 Level 2 validation, offering enhanced protection and performance for enterprise applications. These PCIe 5.0 drives meet stringent government requirements and provide peace of mind for organizations of all sizes.
KIOXIA is demonstrating the benefits of its KIOXIA XD Series SSDs with Flexible Data Placement (FDP) functionality at the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit. FDP, a feature of the NVM Express specification, allows for flexible data placement on SSDs, leading to improved performance and extended lifespan. KIOXIA’s FDP-enabled SSDs showcase a significant performance boost and tripled lifespan for RocksDB, a widely used database in generative AI and cloud applications.
KIOXIA has launched its latest XD8 Series PCIe 5.0 E1.S SSDs, designed for cloud and hyperscale environments. This third-generation E1.S SSD boasts significant performance improvements over its predecessor, featuring blazing-fast sequential read speeds of 12,500 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 5,800 MB/s, delivering a 73% speed boost. The XD8 also showcases improved random read and write performance, further enhancing its overall efficiency.
Japanese NAND flash memory chip maker KIOXIA is gearing up for an IPO in October, driven by the booming demand for semiconductors to support the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI). The company aims to raise around $10.3 billion to fund expansion and development of cutting-edge memory technologies.
KIOXIA’s innovative RAID Offload data protection technology has won the ‘Best of Show’ award in the ‘Most Innovative Technology’ category for SSDs at the Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) event. This technology offloads RAID parity compute, freeing up CPU, memory, and cache resources, ultimately accelerating performance, reducing system costs, and increasing power efficiency in server and storage systems.
