Introduction Petabyte Storage
In order to support and maximize server utilization, Samsung Electronics introduced the brand-new Petabyte storage. With this, a single server will be efficient and equipped enough to store up to one petabyte of storage, supporting improved storage capacity of the servers.
Higher server utilization will also make the whole set-up energy efficient and reduce unwanted power wastage.
Memory-Semantic SSD
Another important launch that took precedence at the Flash Memory Summit was Samsung’s new “Memory Semantic SSD” that brings the best of both worlds – optimal storage with DRAM memory.
It is backed with Compute Express Link (CXL) interconnect technology and built-in DRAM cache. Both of these functionalities contribute to 20x better performance, both in terms of the read speed and latency, leveraging the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
The primary objective behind the launch of the memory semantic SSDs was to streamline AI-based and machine learning workloads that need faster data processing power.
Telemetry
SSDs have and will gradually become more and more mainstream and rightfully so. Not only for general public use, SSDs are a norm for data centers as well, offering the highest degree of reliability.
With Samsung’s new telemetry technology, users will be able to collect metadata from some of the key components, including NAND flash, DRAM and SSD controllers and leverage those information to reduce potential threats and problems ahead of time.
Upgrades to existing technologies
Not just new technologies, Samsung Electronics has also introduced a range of product updates to their existing mobile storage and SSD milestones during their keynote speech.
The much-awaited UFS 4.0 mobile storage will start its mass production from August, 2022. The production and launch of this mobile storage with change the performance in most of the flagship smartphones involve mounds of data processing features, especially involving high resolution graphics and images.
Besides that, Samsung also announced the availability of two of their enterprise SSDs, including PM1743 and PM1653. Both of these are now in mass production. Alongside these, Samsung Electronics also introduced paradigm-shifting SmartSSD and CXL DRAM that will streamline the facet of memory and storage configurations.
“Samsung is committed to transforming memory technologies to introduce far-reaching changes in the near future,” said Jin-Hyeok Choi, keynote speaker and executive vice president of Memory Solution & Product Development at Samsung Electronics.
