Kioxia Develops Broadband SSD with Optical Interface for Next-Generation Green Data Centers
Technology demonstration at the Future of Memory and Storage conference at Kioxia booth #307
By adopting an optical interface, it becomes possible to aggregate individual components that make up systems, such as SSDs and CPUs, and seamlessly interconnect them. This furthers the evolution of a “disaggregated computing system” that can efficiently utilize resources according to a specific workload. Additionally, with its high signal integrity, the optical interface may enhance high-performance compute environments, such as outer space.
This accomplishment is the result of the Japanese “Next Generation Green Data Center Technology Development” project, JPNP21029, subsidized by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), which is under the “Green Innovation Fund Project: Construction of Next Generation Digital Infrastructure.” In this grant project, next generation technologies are being developed with the goal of achieving more than 40% energy savings compared to current data centers. As a part of this project, Kioxia is developing broadband SSDs with optical interface for data storage in next-generation green data centers.
