MILPITAS, Calif., July 31,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ScaleFlux, a leader in
developing storage and memory technologies, marks its 10th
anniversary by sampling its latest NVMe SSDs, the CSD5000 series.
Purpose-built for the AI Era, CSD5000 is designed to alleviate
bottlenecks in the AI/ML, Cloud, and Data Center computing
infrastructure. Getting jobs on and off the GPUs and CPUs rapidly
is crucial to reaching optimal utilization of the infrastructure
for AI/ML, HPC, AI analytics, and cloud-native computing. "To
enable high xPU utilization levels, the storage devices must be up
to the tasks of reliably delivering massive amounts of data at
blinding speeds and of rapidly and securely storing the checkpoints
and outputs, all in a power-efficient manner – exactly what the
CSD5000 was designed to do," said ScaleFlux CEO, Hao Zhong.
Coinciding with the company's 10th anniversary, this release
highlights a decade of remarkable achievements and sets the stage
for an exciting future of continued growth and technological
advancements.
"To enable high xPU utilization, storage
must deliver massive data at blazing speeds and securely store
checkpoints efficiently—precisely what the CSD5000 achieves,"
states Hao Zhong, CEO of ScaleFlux.
Introducing the CSD5000: A New Chapter in SSD Storage
Built on the ScaleFlux FX5016 PCIe 5 SSD controller, the CSD5000
series sets a new bar for SSD performance, capacity density,
efficiency, and feature set. Expanding upon the innovative write
reduction technology and capacity expansion features from the
previous generations of ScaleFlux drives, CSD5000 brings unrivaled
capabilities to data storage.
- Unmatched Performance: Sustained sequential throughput 14GB/s
reads and 11GB/s writes; and sustained random IOPs over 3million
reads and 430k writes – scaling to an
astounding 1.2 million random write IOPs and 13GB/s sequential
write throughput with compression. Leveraging proprietary write
reduction and write optimization technologies, the CSD5000 offers
superior random IOPs and sequential throughput with reduced
latency, making it ideal for data-intensive applications. These
technologies enable Infrastructure and Operations teams to utilize
the drives' entire capacity while maintaining maximum
performance.
- Scalable Capacity Density: To meet the need for greater and
greater storage density, the CSD5000 will support data storage
capacities from 4 to 256TB in a single, standard form factor drive.
U.2, E3.S, E1.S, and E1.L form factors are all in development
- Enhanced Power Efficiency: CSD5000 will achieve up to 3x the
performance per Watt of competing PCIe 5 SSDs from Samsung and
Kioxia.
- Comprehensive Feature Set: including NVMe 2.0b, OCP 2.0, OCP Telemetry logging, Latency
Monitoring, Flexible Data Placement (FDP), Zoned Namespaces (ZNS),
Dual-port, TCG Opal, Self-encrypting drives (SED), AES-256
encryption, Key Per IO, Transparent data compression/decompression,
NVMe Thin Provisioned Namespaces, Capacity expansion, Endurance
multiplier, and other standard data center SSD features.
"Our goal with the CSD5000 has been to redefine what's possible
in SSD functionality to accelerate the data pipeline for the AI,
Cloud, and data center computing infrastructure," said Hao Zhong,
CEO of ScaleFlux. "This product represents a major milestone in our
decade-long commitment to innovation and excellence. We are excited
to help our customers overcome the challenges they face in scaling
their infra and start a new chapter in storage evolution."
Celebrating 10 Years of Innovation
2024 marks the ScaleFlux's 10th
anniversary. Since its inception in 2014, ScaleFlux has
consistently set new benchmarks in the storage industry with its
innovative product families:
- CSD 1000: (2018) introduced the concept of Computational
Storage Drives (CSD), integrating compute with storage for data
acceleration and system efficiency.
- CSD 2000: (2020) the first commercially available drive with
transparent data compression and capacity expansion.
- CSD 3000 and SFX 3016 SSD controller: (2022) the 3000 series
marked the company's transition to its own custom SSD controller,
designed in-house and combining traditional SSD controller
functions with computational storage engines into a single chip
fully compliant with NVMe standards.
- CSD5000 and FX5016 extending beyond the capabilities introduced
in the 3000 series to new levels of performance, efficiency, and
capacity density to satiate the growing demand for faster access to
larger datasets of the AI era. With its second self-developed SSD
controller, ScaleFlux has cemented its position as a silicon design
and development player. Sampling now to select customers.
Origins of ScaleFlux: From Research to Reality
Reflecting on the formation of ScaleFlux, Hao Zhong shared, "When I
was doing my Ph.D. research, I often wondered how that research
could be used in real products to address real problems. Once I was
in the industry, it was very rewarding to commercialize my own
research in products for some of the most impactful storage and
memory companies of our time. But I always wanted to contribute
more to the industry."
He continued, "Leveraging the experience we had gained both from
established industry leaders and from revolutionary storage and
memory start-ups, my co-founders, Tong Zhang, Fei Sun, and I struck out together to build a
new build a new company. We envisioned building up a more efficient
development engine for converting our research and innovations into
enterprise-ready products to address the challenges of the evolving
data infrastructure."
This vision culminated in the formation of ScaleFlux, where the
founders have built a global team to turn groundbreaking research
and innovative IP into practical, market-ready solutions to address
the challenges of the data-centric and now GPU-centric world. At
every turn, the leadership asks, "how can we do this better?",
driving continuous improvement in efficiency and execution.
