At the event the spotlight was on breakthrough infrastructure technologies that help transform bold ideas into real-world innovation. Kioxia's SSDs are engineered to accelerate application performance, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), and lower SSD power consumption. These technologies are essential to enabling next-generation workloads, including artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics, that demand fast, reliable access to massive volumes of data.

Kioxia, a diamond sponsor, displayed branding and messaging throughout the event.

The booth featured upgraded live demo stations showcasing the latest Dell and Kioxia solutions.

Key demos at the event included:

FIO workload featuring KIOXIA CM9 Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe™ SSDs
Aerospike Database featuring KIOXIA CD8P Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe Data Center SSDs on a Dell PowerEdge™ Server
KIOXIA CM7 Series Enterprise U.2 NVMe SSDs running on a Dell PowerFlex™ with Nutanix Cloud Platform™
122.88 TB KIOXIA LC9 Series NVMe SSDs showing fast retrieval of large datasets

Some of Kioxia Highlights at DTW 2025

Kioxia collaborated with Dell to demonstrate KIOXIA CM Series SSDs running on a Dell PowerFlex server to attendees.

A broad range of KIOXIA Enterprise and Data Center SSDs including the upcoming KIOXIA CM9 Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs.

Kioxia also showcased Client SSDs and a range of platforms that utilize these solutions.

An anime headshot demo featuring Generative AI on PowerEdge server using KIOXIA CD8P Series SSD was an engaging and popular at the event.

Attendees were eager to learn about Kioxia's updated model of the 8th generation BiCS FLASH™.

Dell held a live interview with KIOXIA America's Senior VP and General Manager, SSD business division.

The media was interested in the AiSAQ™ technology demo and how the solution improved scalability for vector databases.

The Experience was a customer appreciation event with 3 bands and 2 stages sponsored by KIOXIA and Dell.

Breakout Sessions

Kioxia also participated in two well-attended breakout sessions to address the greater need for higher storage capacities to meet the demand of emerging workloads related to AI.

Session 1: Accelerate Innovation with Next-Gen Dell PowerEdge Servers and KIOXIA SSDs

In this session Kioxia and Dell highlighted how Next-generation Dell PowerEdge servers deliver increased application efficiency with PCIe 5.0 speeds, enabling faster performance and higher storage density. New KIOXIA EDSFF E3.S and 2.5-inch PCIe 5.0 SSDs, greater than 100-TB capacities, and how they accelerate emerging workloads, such as AI training and vector databases innovating from the edge to the cloud.

Session 2: Kioxia open source projects to enhance RAG AI solutions and RocksDB

This second session took a deeper dive into how the latest generative AI solutions are placing increasingly large demands on storage and memory resources and how new technologies from Kioxia can help enable scalability and enhanced endurance for SSD based applications. This session further explored results from Flexible Data Placement (FDP) on software development workloads and SSD-based vector search algorithms for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

Kioxia's breakout sessions were well attended.

KIOXIA AiSAQ™ Technology

At Kioxia’s booth there was a live demo of the KIOXIA All-in-Storage ANNS with Product Quantization (KIOXIA AiSAQ) technology – Featuring KIOXIA CD8P Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe Data Center SSDs, showcasing the performance of storage solutions for AI. Attendees experienced how KIOXIA AiSAQ technology improves data processing efficiency and supports AI workloads.

Thank you to everyone for stopping by our showcase at DTW 2025, engaging in our demos and sessions, as well as learning more about our latest flash based storage solutions.

Definition of capacity: Kioxia Corporation defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
