Innodisk Edge Computing SSDs Product Line Up to 3.2TB

Innodisk Corp. launched edge computing SSD product line, consisting of the 2.5″ SATA 3TS6-P, 3TS9-P and M.2 (P80) 4TS2-P drives.

The edge AI SSDs feature low latency, high DWPD, and large capacities. In addition, the included iCell and AES technologies protect data from losses and breaches. Aiming at smart retail, smart city, smart fleet management, and NAS applications, the company is providing high speeds, reliability, and industrial-grade quality to respond to the market needs.

Research suggests that the edge data center market is expected to reach a CAGR of 24.58% between 2020 and 2028. With the rapid development of AI, IoT, and 5G, data utilization has shifted from cloud to edge applications, driving the demand for edge servers and edge data centers. The company is ready to roll out edge server market solutions and open up new business opportunities.

Edge AI SSDs inside edge servers are required to process data at high speeds at the source, instead of sending all data back to a central data center, thus improving latency and reducing cost. As an example, smart street lights and traffic monitoring units rely on the SSD to provide high-speed RW, a large capacity, and low-latency to process data in real time, and the same can be said for edge data centers. With the series reaching 6.4TB, these SSDs will disrupt the edge storage market and improve experiences for end users.

CC Wu, GM, flash division, pointed out that his company has already actively started focusing on applications for the growing 5G and AI fields. This product line integrates the firm’s R&D capabilities in software, hardware, and firmware. With the introduction of specialized SSDs that combine the advantages of industrial SSDs with the characteristics of data center SSDs, the firm hopes to seize edge computing business opportunities and meet the needs of the growing sector.
