Samsung has introduced its V-NAND based storage solutions to run across the requirements of side by side-generation data processing. The company also showcased solutions based on an assortment of solid state drives (SSDs) at this year'due south Wink Memory Summit that was held in August in Santa Clara, California. Samsung appear that it would launch 1Tb V-NAND fries next year, which volition exist the industry'south start three-dimensional NAND bit.

The role of wink retention has become critical in accelerating information that needs to be extracted for real-time assay. The South Korean semiconductor giant hopes that SSDs will be at the forefront of enabling today's most information-intensive tasks such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, real-time analytics and parallel calculating. Samsung plans to start the mass production of these storage components in Q4 2017 while trying to standardize the form factor with manufacture partners.

Jeong Jae-heon, the executive vice president of Samsung's Solution Development arm, introduced the company's V-NAND chip fabrication plant at Pyeongtaek in the Gyeonggi province of Due south Korea at a keynote that was attended by over a thousand industry officials. The company's device solutions business concern accounted for more seventy percentage of operating profits for the first half of 2017.

With the arrival of Samsung's 1Tb 5-NAND chips, it will be possible to make a 2TB retentivity in a single package using 16 1Tb dies. Information technology will correspond one of the most of import advancements in the memory segment in the by x years. The visitor also said that it is sampling the industry'south offset 16TB SSD, which will improve the storage chapters and input/output operations per second of rack servers.

"Our new, highly avant-garde Five-NAND technologies will offer smarter solutions for greater value by providing high data processing speeds, increased organisation scalability and ultra-low latency for today's most demanding cloud-based applications. Nosotros volition continue to pioneer flash innovation by leveraging our expertise in advanced 3D-NAND memory technology to significantly enhance the way in which information-rich data is processed," said Jin Gyo-young, executive vice president and head of retention business at Samsung Electronics.

Samsung as well demonstrated a reference server organization with 576TB of storage in a 1U rack unit, the smallest standard unit of measurement for a server rack. The company used 36 16TB SSDs to build the reference server, which can deliver upwards to 10 million random read input/output operations per second, which is three times compared to a 1U rack unit of measurement build using standard 2.v-inch SSDs.
