Solutions for Enterprise Servers and Data Centers

Meeting Data Storage and Management Needs

Kingston server SSD and memory products directly support the global demand to store, manage and instantly access large volumes of data in both traditional databases and Big Data infrastructures.

The need to store and manage larger amounts of data has increased exponentially in recent years. Data centers, cloud services, edge computing, internet of things (IoT) and co-locations are just some of the business models that amass tremendous volumes of data. These organizations require predictable performance as they deliver on product solutions and service level agreements (SLA’s) with requirements up to 99.9999%. Mission-critical servers are also required to provide uptime levels that meet or exceed an enterprise's Quality of Service (QoS) policies. Kingston helps corporations meet these requirements with consistent, rigorously-tested memory and SSDs.

30 Years of Experience & Expertise

For more than 30 years, Kingston has been integral to the IT backbone of Fortune 500 companies. An experienced business solutions partner, Kingston’s products offer consistent and reliable performance along with award-winning solutions required by enterprise environments.

Memory Optimizes Server Performance

Upgrading server memory can accelerate larger databases, provide faster responses for those using the cloud and improve speed for applications living in memory. Increasing memory allows more virtual machines and can also increase allocation to maximize existing hardware. Virtualization lowers total cost of ownership, and more memory for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) means a faster response when apps sit in memory.

Demands of the Enterprise Data Center

Data center architects design performance targets for a wide range of systems, while maintaining flexibility for different workloads. Various data applications may require a range of storage and memory configurations to meet a variety of system specifications and workload demands. Kingston server memory and enterprise-grade SSDs help to manage workloads such as AI, machine learning, big data analytics, cloud computing, operational databases (ODB), database applications, and data warehousing.

Why Kingston is the Smart Choice

Performance, security and reliability are vital for businesses. Kingston’s proven experience, recognized best practices and trusted industry leadership make our products the smart choice. Whether an organization is designing, updating or developing system solutions, servers, data centers or sustainable infrastructure, Kingston is ready to support any project no matter the scope.

Server Virtualization

Random I/O and high data access demands can be severely limited by traditional mechanical hard drives in a virtualized host. Servicing enterprise applications, users and retrieving data have become limiting factors in overall system performance. Kingston server memory and solid-state drives (SSDs) are the ideal accelerators for virtualized workloads, allowing virtualization by doing more with less.

Cloud Computing

As cloud-based storage becomes increasingly popular, greater demands are placed on the storage and memory infrastructure. The fast-retrieving capabilities of SSDs enable cloud services to operate at peak efficiency for each type of data being processed. A tiered storage model ensures an organization has the right data on the right tier to maximize cost and performance.

IT Applications

Kingston’s SATA 3.0 and NVMe Enterprise SSDs provide users with very fast data access for a wide variety of enterprise applications. They can be used as direct-attached storage replacements for hard disk drives in a server, or reside in external arrays to speed up storage-bound applications.

Government

Kingston provides efficient solutions for government, defense and intelligence agencies – and the civilian companies that contract with them. As these organizations work to comply with a lengthening list of legislative requirements and protocols designed to protect sensitive data in transit and at rest, Kingston’s encrypted storage solutions meet core functional needs.

Finance

Kingston’s encrypted storage solutions help banks, brokerages, payment card companies, insurers and credit clearinghouses keep sensitive customer information secure. Our rigorously tested products also comply with a growing list of data security regulations and standards.

Healthcare

Kingston solutions are implemented by hospitals, healthcare providers, insurers, pharmaceutical companies and others. Keeping confidential patient data secure while growing the ranks of mobile workers is vital in this field. Kingston offers products that protect portable or remotely-accessed data. Whether it’s for storing and protecting personal health information or sensitive research and development data, Kingston offers optimal solutions for the healthcare industry.
