인텔이 주요 데이터 센터 스토리지의 발전 된 모습(advances)을 발표하며 인텔의 메모리 기술 리더십을 다시 한 번 보여주었습니다. 이 새로운 기술은 데이터센터 스토리지를 발전시키고, 데이터의 성장 의존도가 겪고 있는 문제에 대해 혁신적인 솔루션을 제공합니다.

그 기술은 다음과 같습니다:

- '눈금자(Ruler)' 폼팩터: 미래의 1U 서버 랙에 최대 1PB의 스토리지 용량을 가능하게 하는 완전히 새로운 SSD 폼 팩터

- 세계에서 가장 진보된 듀얼 포트 포트폴리오: 미션 크리티컬 애플리케이션용 인텔 Optane 기술 듀얼 포트 SSD와 Intel 3D NAND 듀얼 포트 SSD

- HDD 를 대처하기 위해 업데이트된 SATA SSD 제품군

"We are in the midst of an era of major data center transformation, driven by Intel. These new "ruler" form factor SSDs and dual port SSDs are the latest in a long line of innovations we've brought to market to make storing and accessing data easier and faster, while delivering more value to customers," said Bill Leszinske, Intel vice president, Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group (NSG), and director, strategic planning, marketing and business development. "Data drives everything we do - from financial decisions to virtual reality gaming, and from autonomous driving to machine learning - and Intel storage innovations like these ensure incredibly quick, reliable access to that data."

'Ruler' Form Factor for Intel SSDs

The new "ruler" form factor, so-called for its long, skinny shape, shifts storage from the legacy 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factors that follow traditional hard disk drives, and the add-in card form factor, which takes advantage of PCIe card slots, and delivers on the promise of non-volatile storage technologies to eliminate constraints on shape and size. The new form factor delivers the most storage capacity for a server, with the lowest required cooling and power needs. The next-generation "ruler" form factor SSDs using Intel 3D NAND technology will enable up to 1PB in a 1U server - enough storage for 300,000 HD movies, or about 70 years of nonstop entertainment. Both Intel Optane SSDs and Intel 3D NAND SSDs in the "ruler" form factor will come to market in the near future.

Dual Port SSDs

Dual port Intel Optane SSDs and Intel 3D NAND SSDs offer critical redundancy and failover, protecting against multiple paths to failure for mission-critical and high-availability applications. Dual port SSDs replace SAS SSDs and HDDs and, with new storage technologies, deliver more IOPS, more bandwidth and lower latency than SAS SSDs. Dual port Intel SSD DC D4500, D4501 and D4600 Series are available to customers today, and dual port Intel Optane SSDs are shipping to select customers for validation now, with broader availability in the fourth quarter.

SATA SSDs for Data Centers

The Intel SSD DC S4500 and S4600 Series combine a new Intel-developed SATA controller, innovative SATA firmware and the industry's highest density 32-layer 3D NAND. These storage-inspired SSDs preserve legacy infrastructure, ensuring a simple transition from hard disk drives to SSDs, while enabling data centers to reduce storage cost, increase server efficiency and minimize service disruptions. The new members of the second-generation Intel3D NAND SSD family are available now.

Intel Optane Technology Webcast

An earlier webcast, hosted by Leszinske and Laura Crone, Intel vice president and director of NSG End-User Solutions Marketing, featured customers outlining how Intel Optane technology is driving advancements in health care, transforming how transactions occur, enabling real-time analytics and capitalizing on the performance of Intel Xeon CPUs. It is available now for replay.
