Solidigm

You can’t talk about energy efficiency without talking about AI and you can't talk about AI without talking about energy efficiency! Securing and allocating more and more power for compute resources is becoming the critical factor in efficient AI data center design. Dave Sierra from Solidigm recently sat down with Allyson Klein of the TechArena to discuss the innovations in storage that are helping to drive efficiency in the data center, and designing for fewer high-capacity drives in a solution is ultimately more energy efficient, requires fewer servers, and reduces overall cooling infrastructure needs.

At the recent Shenzhen Global Memory Innovation Forum, Vice President Chloe Jian Ma of Arm spoke about the integration of Solidigm SSDs throughout the data pipeline and the future impact of innovative storage technologies on the AI ecosystem. It’s always great to see Solidigm spotlighted in conversations and industries around the world!  

From ingest to archive, the right storage can make all the difference, and choosing the right storage based on workload demands is paramount. Tune in to AI Data Infrastructure Field Day coming up on October 3 to see #TeamSolidigm discuss the future potential of AI and the importance of SSDs in enabling power efficient AI computing! #AIDIFD1 https://lnkd.in/gKmQby9K

We had a great time speaking with Ian McClarty, President of PhoenixNAP on a recent podcast with the The_TechArena. During the conversation with Jeniece Wnorowski and Allyson Klein, Ian shared some incredible perspective on the premise of “cheap power” and how at the end of the day, the cheap power people are seeking in fact requires elaborate social and physical infrastructures to back it up, driving TCO higher and higher. Tune in to hear more about the changing role of AI in data centers and how bare metal cloud servers provide thoughtful solutions to meet the infrastructure demands of AI workloads. https://lnkd.in/gQdz_3DZ

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated each year from September 15-October 15, in recognition of the time during which many Latin American countries declared their independence. This month also serves as a chance to reflect and engage in conversation about how we can become an even more welcoming, inclusive, and equitable community for our Solidigm team members who identify as Hispanic/Latinx/Latine. For Sebastian Beck, his path from Chile to the U.S. gave him invaluable insights into other cultures, as well as how to treat everyone with respect, regardless of language or location. As his family moved to different countries around the world, Sebastian learned early on about the importance of family, building community, never giving up, and always fighting for what is right. To him, these qualities are all cornerstones of being Latine. More than anything, Sebastian is proud of the way Hispanic/Latine communities give back and pay it forward so that others can live a better life. Join us in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! #OurHeritageOurStrength #TeamSolidigm

The industry faces a significant power challenge with the rise of #AI. With vacancy rates at historic lows, companies are looking to create space and capacity in existing data centers.   Consolidating older servers can free up significant power and space, enabling the deployment of advanced AI servers. Solidigm high density storage solutions play a crucial role in this transformation.  In this episode of Six Five on the Road, hosts Keith Townsend and Dave Nicholson are joined by AMD‘s Robert Hormuth and Mark Orthodoxou to discuss consolidating servers with high-performance, denser drive technology and how AMD and Solidigm are collaborating to power the open AI ecosystem.

In the last few years, the term GPU has evolved from tech speak to party conversation as enterprises of all sizes clamor to get on board the AI train. One major challenge in #AI adoption is leveraging expensive servers efficiently given the limited number of PCIe lanes available after the #GPUs get their share. GPUs require substantial PCIe bandwidth for AI workloads, often leaving limited lanes for other components, including storage devices and networking. This constraint makes it essential to optimize the use of available PCIe lanes. Solidigm 61.44TB QLC SSDs offer a solution by providing massive storage capacity in a single drive, reducing the need for multiple drives, and conserving PCIe lanes for GPUs and other essential components. The D5-P5336, designed for high-capacity, high-performance scenarios, delivers exceptional IOPS, enabling faster data retrieval and writing processes, ensuring that the GPUs remain busy with computation rather than waiting for data, thereby maximizing efficiency and reducing training times. Read more about the benefits of extreme storage density and its impact on GPU performance. https://lnkd.in/g_dXqdVj

Incredible to see so many AI innovators highlighted in the recent segment with the NYSE and VAST Data. What you may not know, is that one of the invisible threads connecting these companies is not just their roles in the AI ecosystem, but also Solidigm storage solutions. Watch the video to see how VAST is helping to bring the topic of data infrastructure to the forefront of the AI conversation!
