CloudSpeed Eco™ Gen. II SSD Combines Density
and Performance to Transform Data Center Economics
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash
storage solutions, at Computex Taipei 2015 today announced its new
CloudSpeed Eco™ Gen. II SATA SSD, a purpose-built storage device
for cloud service providers with up to 2TB* capacity. This new SSD
is now sampling with select hyperscale customers. Based on
15nm NAND flash, the new CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II SSD delivers
greater storage density with 3x the streaming bandwidth vs. hard
disk drives (HDDs). Designed as a drop-in replacement for HDDs,
CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II provides datacenters with a lower
cost-per-square-foot for hyperscale applications such as analytics,
media streaming and content repositories.

Cloud Data Services, such as Big Data Analytics, SaaS, IaaS and
PaaS environments, are driving radical data center transformation.
The number of connected ‘things’ is set to explode, with Gartner
forecasting this number will reach 25 billion by 2020, generating a
deluge of data that will need to be analyzed in real-time1.
Micropayments, online commerce and similar applications are
read-intensive and require high data throughput and scalable
storage capacity.
“Digital business transformation has put tremendous pressure on
cloud service providers to deliver massive capacity and performance
with increasing cost efficiency,” said John Scaramuzzo, senior vice
president and general manager, Enterprise Storage Solutions,
SanDisk. “As a trusted provider of flash-based solutions for three
of the largest cloud service providers, SanDisk understands
hyperscale application demands2. We’ve designed CloudSpeed Eco Gen.
II to deliver better cloud-scale economics with specific features
so that cloud service providers can deliver superior customer
experiences.”
Historically, cloud service providers have relied on HDDs for
data storage requirements because they offered large pools of
low-cost capacity. However, as datasets continue to grow, and
access to real-time information becomes paramount, cloud service
providers are finding that HDD-based storage can no longer keep
pace with increasing demands without significantly expanding data
center footprint. As the cloud economics of flash – such as
price/performance density, endurance, heat, power, cooling and
footprint – continue to be a focal point for IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS
decision makers, many of them have turned to SanDisk.
“We’ve been very pleased with the level of innovation coming out
of SanDisk to jointly address the demands of new and emerging
markets powered by cloud, mobility and B2B/B2C businesses,” said
Albert Mu, Vice President of MiTAC Computing Technology
Corporation’s TYAN Business Unit. “We look forward to continuing to
work with SanDisk to bring these solutions to market, so our joint
customers can realize the benefits of the next era in cloud
computing.”
“The compelling value proposition of NAND flash memory, coupled
with increasing capacities is enabling wide-spread adoption of SSDs
for today’s emerging and demanding cloud requirements,” said Jeff
Janukowicz, research director for SSDs and Enabling Technologies at
IDC. “More cost-effective SSD solutions based on smaller process
technologies such as SanDisk CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II, make SSDs
feasible for a growing number of cloud and hyperscale applications,
which is helping to propel SSD unit shipments to grow at a 34
percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2013 to
20183.”
As with all CloudSpeed™ SSDs, CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II 2TB SSD
includes the company’s innovative Guardian Technology™ Platform,
which works to provide a combination of powerful error correction
and detection technology, full data path protection, and data fail
recovery. The CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II SSD also comes with a limited
five year warranty**.
CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II 2TB SSD will be available through SanDisk
Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) and select Enterprise Channel
Partners later this year. For more information about CloudSpeed Eco
Gen. II visit www.sandisk.com/enterprise/sata-ssd/ or this video.

II brings to today’s hyperscale and cloud data centers can be read
