KIOXIA Unlocks Data Potential From the Edge to the Cloud to AI; Highlights Flash Storage Breakthroughs at HPE Discover 2024

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 13, 2024 – Next week at HPE^® Discover 2024, KIOXIA, the inventor of NAND flash memory, will be on hand to highlight the critical role its broad lineup of next-gen solid state drives (SSDs) is playing in the modernization of today’s data centers, even in space.

KIOXIA has been collaborating with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to create innovative storage solutions for years. KIOXIA storage solutions can be found optimizing HPE solutions across multiple product lines, from the edge to the cloud to Artificial Intelligence (AI) computing.

“We eagerly anticipate HPE Discover each year, as it highlights the powerful synergies created when companies collaborate to leverage their cutting-edge technologies,” noted Neville Ichhaporia, senior vice president and general manager of the KIOXIA SSD Business Unit. “This year, KIOXIA and HPE are showcasing how our joint innovations in PCIe^® Gen 5, EDSFF SSDs, and 24G SAS can provide customers with reliable, high-performance, sustainable storage solutions. Together, we enable data center evolution and support more digitally-focused strategies, driving compute and storage modernization from the edge to the cloud to AI.”

Product and technology demonstrations will be given in the KIOXIA booth #2420 on the show floor at the Venetian^® Conference and Expo Center in Las Vegas from June 17 – 20.

Live booth demonstrations (on HPE ProLiant/Alletra^®  platforms) include:

• KIOXIA CM7 Series Enterprise E3.S NVMe^TM SSDs running Milvus^® Vector Database for AI workloads
• KIOXIA RM7 Series Value SAS SSDs running MinIO^® scale out storage workload
• KIOXIA CD8P Series Data Center E3.S SSDs running deep learning I/O benchmark  for AI
• KIOXIA PM7 Series Enterprise SAS SSDs running SUSE^® Harvester Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Other demonstrations include:

• Spaceborne Computer-2 program: Demonstrating how HPE and KIOXIA are working together on the HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 initiative in the International Space Station (ISS)
• Value SAS SSDs: Featuring their price/performance value in a real-world workload – and showing a clear path away from aging SATA technology
• EDSFF E3: Specifications were developed by leading companies that include HPE and KIOXIA to optimize SSD designs for capacity, power, performance, and thermal/cooling – and to replace 2.5-inch form factor¹ SSDs

KIOXIA will participate in several speaking sessions and panel discussions that focus on its new products and its longstanding collaboration with HPE, including:
 

• Breakout Session: “HPE and KIOXIA: Storage Solutions for AI, Cloud and Space”
