KIOXIA America Drives Digital Transformation with Next-Gen SSDs at Dell Technologies World

Value SAS, Low-Power NVMe®, PCIe® 4.0 SSDs Poised to Accelerate Data Center Modernization

SAN JOSE, Calif., October 21, 2020 – This week at the Dell Technologies World Digital Experience, KIOXIA America, Inc. (formerly Toshiba Memory America, Inc.), will showcase its lineup of next-gen, flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) upgrading performance in server and storage application solutions. A Diamond-level conference sponsor, KIOXIA has collaborated with Dell for over 20 years to create best-in-class storage solutions.

KIOXIA products can be found in multiple Dell solutions throughout their client and enterprise product lines – from business and gaming laptops to PowerEdge™ servers, VX solutions, and all flash storage arrays. At the virtual event, KIOXIA will highlight a wide variety of Dell PowerEdge server solutions that feature KIOXIA SSDs. 

Storage architectures aren’t one-size-fits-all, and constructing solutions to address different demands, applications and use cases can present a variety of challenges. With one of the industry’s broadest SSD product lineup, KIOXIA gives IT professionals, storage administrators and infrastructure managers access to the right portfolio to modernize and transform their data centers.

“Successful digital transformation means faster flash storage, faster applications and faster decisions,” noted Alvaro Toledo, vice president of SSD marketing and product planning, KIOXIA America, Inc. “Having a broad mix of storage options is essential to this endeavor, and we are proud to work closely with Dell to offer comprehensive solutions for transformation strategies.”
