The rise of generative AI, real-time analytics and other data-intensive applications is creating an unprecedented demand for faster, more reliable and efficient data center storage solutions. Today's data centers face not only performance and reliability challenges but also growing concerns around power consumption and sustainability.
Our eBook “Optimise data center storage with PCIe Gen5 SSDs for AI and big data” delves into the latest high-performance data center storage advancements that address key challenges including performance bottlenecks, system downtime, latency issues and energy consumption. Leveraging the expertise from Kingston's storage specialists, this eBook offers essential insights into how next-generation AI data center storage technologies are revolutionising operations for the AI era and beyond.
Big data, with bigger demands
The global data explosion – driven by AI innovations, IoT expansion and increasing digital media consumption – is projected to exceed 394 zettabytes by 2028{{Footnote.A76805}}. This massive growth demands low-latency, high-throughput data center SSD solutions capable of supporting enterprise workloads, cloud-native applications and regulatory compliance requirements.
As data volumes expand and applications grow more complex, data center managers increasingly struggle to maintain consistent throughput and acceptable latency levels.
Putting a price on failures
System downtime and latency issues can result in substantial financial losses and severe operational disruptions. This is why having the storage that meets the compute has never been more important.
Advanced PCIe Gen5 SSDs utilising 3D NAND architectures deliver dramatically faster read and write speeds, enhancing overall system reliability and significantly reducing costly downtime. As a result, data centers managing mission-critical workloads need reliability and data integrity as they have quickly become non-negotiable fundamentals.
Enterprise-grade high-performance data center storage featuring technologies like end-to-end data protection and power-loss protection safeguards vital information even under extreme operating conditions.
