Smart IOPS Data Engine SSD Powers Gigabyte Fast NVMe-Based Servers

Smart IOPS, Inc. in flash storage, announced its collaboration with Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd to use its DATA Engine SSDs.

By leveraging low-latency Data Engine PCIe Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe1) SSD, Gigabyte will offer NVMe-based servers with fast random read and write performance. Gigabyte’s rackmount servers using a single Data Engine SSD achieve 1.7 million IO/s and 6,800 MB/s random read bandwidth, making them Gigabyte’s fastest NVMe-based servers available. Gigabyte demonstrated this latest offering at the SC16 conference.

“We are excited to deepen our partnership with Gigabyte to differentiate their enterprise systems by using our portfolio of enterprise PCIe SSDs,” said Ashutosh Das, president and CEO, Smart IOPS. “Our partnership to collaborate on new NVMe-based server technology solutions will undoubtedly revolutionize computing in the years ahead.“

“By working with Smart IOPS, Gigabyte is demonstrating our commitment to being at the forefront of technology, and recognize the importance of NVMe-enabled SSDs,” said Etay Lee, GM, Gigabyte. “This cooperation enables us to offer a new range of high speed solutions to meet the increasing latency demands on SSDs created by new enterprise and data center applications.“

Gigabyte will offer Smart IOPS Data Engine SSDs as an option on all standard Intel-based servers.
