SMART Modular Technologies unveils new family of data centre solid state drives

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 7 (Bernama) -- SMART Modular Technologies Inc (SMART), a division of SGH, is now offering a new class of high performance, power efficient, data centre solid state disk drives (SSDs) beginning with the DC4800 PCIe Gen 4 family.

The global leader in memory solutions, solid-state drives and hybrid storage products said that SMART’s DC4800 devices are designed with a specialised hardware-accelerated SSD controller that draws less power without compromising storage input/output (I/O) performance.

“Zero-induced throttling allows these SSDs to perform better under continued duress, even when they are pushed to their performance limit,” it said in a statement.

“Today’s leading-edge servers are not only expected to manage a significant mass of transactions to enable processes like machine learning, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, but they are also expected to be more power efficient.

“Data centres are increasingly challenged by performance and energy demands as they expand to address these new workloads that process data from an ever growing array of intelligent devices at the edge,” said data centre architect for SMART, Andy Mills.

“Initial sampling is already in process with several original equipment manufacturers and system builders,” it added.

SMART has been helping customers around the world to enable high-performance computing through the design, development and advanced packaging of specialty memory solutions.
