OCP Global Summit 2024: Kioxia Showcasing PCIe 5.0 and EDSFF SSD Solutions

Kioxia America, Inc is at the OCP Global Summit 2024 to highlight its data center and enterprise SSD portfolio.

At the forefront will be the speed, scalability, and energy efficiency delivered by the company’s next-gen Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) E1.S and PCIe 5.0 SSDs.

“Kioxia continues to drive innovation within the open compute ecosystem,” said Neville Ichhaporia, SVP and GM, SSD business unit, “We ensure our solutions align with the evolving needs of hyperscale data centers, empowering enterprises to harness the expansive potential of open standards. By pushing the boundaries of performance and efficiency, our PCIe 5.0 and EDSFF SSD solutions are raising the bar for modern data infrastructures.”

Product and technology demonstrations were given in the company’s booth on the show floor at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, CA, from October 15-17.

Demonstrations include:

• CD8P Series Data Center NVMe SSDs running AiSAQ ANN search to speed up AI applications.

• XD8 Series E1.S Data Center SSDs for hyperscale data center servers and storage.

• Flexible Data Placement (FDP) demonstrating a reduction to SSD write amplification factor (WAF).

• XD7P Series E1.S Data Center SSDs showing Live Migration to reduce data center down time and enable more effective load balancing without interrupting application workloads.

Additionally, Rory Bolt, senior fellow and principal architect, was participating in the Flexible Data Placement discussion panel. Taking place on October 16, this panel was,exploring FDP’s role in accelerating QLC adoption for data center/primary storage for AI applications. Kioxia was presenting an Expo Hall session titled How SSDs Enhance Vector Data Scaling in GenAI /RAG Systems on October 17.
