Collaboration Furthers SanDisk’s Commitment to
Innovation by Delivering All-Flash Solutions for Massive Scale in
The Rapidly Evolving Storage Landscape
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), a global leader in flash
storage solutions, and QCT (Quanta Cloud Technology), a global
leader in data center solutions, today announced a collaboration to
deliver an all-flash storage solution designed to provide massive
scale, efficiency, and resiliency to OpenStack and Ceph
environments and meet today’s high capacity and performance storage
requirements. The joint solution will be built on SanDisk’s
industry-leading InfiniFlash™ System and QCT’s innovative server
designs and will deliver a unified scale-out, all-flash storage
solution for petabyte workloads such as Big Data environments.
InfiniFlash is a next-generation storage platform created by
SanDisk, offering up to 5x the density, 50x the IOPS and 4x the
reliability, while consuming up to 80 percent less power than
traditional hard disk drive (HDD) arrays. InfiniFlash also delivers
breakthrough pricing for an all-flash hardware solution starting at
less than $1 per gigabyte (GB) for an all-flash system without
requiring compression or de-duplication technologies.1 With
software stacks that offer data reduction schemes, the effective
cost/GB goes down even more significantly to unprecedented levels
(example: 20 cents/GB based on a 5X data reduction factor).
QCT’s innovative server designs advance datacenters to the next
level of hyperscale performance and effectiveness, helping
datacenter customers accelerate in the ever-changing cloud
computing battle.
“As a leader in flash storage solutions, we recognize the
scaling out challenges involved in the cloud infrastructures of our
customers,” said Ravi Swaminathan, vice president and general
manager, Systems and Software Solutions at SanDisk. “By partnering
with QCT, SanDisk is better equipped to deploy flash for our
Hyperscale customers and support a wide range of workloads with
greater agility, performance and reliability across the data
center.”
“We are enthusiastic about the positive impact of this
technology collaboration,” said Mike Yang, General Manager of QCT.
“As one of the leading cloud-native datacenter solutions providers,
QCT has built its success upon our engineering expertise in
designing efficient systems and driving innovation. With access to
SanDisk’s all-flash storage solutions, we can now deliver even more
enhanced and integrated cloud systems with hyperscale efficiency to
data center customers.”
