Amd launches the industry's first storage system that supports EDSFF

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), the global leader in Enterprise computing, storage and network solutions and green computing technologies, today launched the industry's first nvme-powered server and storage system series that supports EDSFF(Enterprise & Data Center SSD Form Factor).

EDSFF is the first industry standard for storage optimization, all flash NVMe code, with higher density, better manageability, and optimal thermal efficiency to push NVMe to a higher level.EDSFF builds on NVMe capabilities, increasing throughput by a factor of six and reducing latency by a factor of seven compared to traditional flash memory.It is suitable for both long (e1.l) and short (e1.s) drivers, and many drive manufacturers support EDSFF, providing customers with a wider range of storage options with density up to 1 or 0.5 PB in 1U.

"Midmicro is the first company to introduce servers and storage systems that support EDSFF," said Charles Liang, chief executive and President of midmicro.Offering the industry's widest range of NVMe, hybrid NVMe and SATA systems, the addition of EDSFF continues to cement our NVMe market leadership.These optimized NVMe drivers will support up to 32 hot-swappable drives in 1U, making them ideal for performing high-performance workloads or storage specific software optimized for IOPS.EDSFF has established a common specification that we believe will dominate in the future."

Jake Roersma, Netskope platform engineering vice President, said, "the latest industry standard, NVMe storage, has changed the entire market.Specifications optimized for SSDS have proven that they provide superior performance while using open standards to simplify integration."Amd continues to lead by offering the widest NVMe portfolio, the best cost and availability."

EDSFF series: BigTwin™

Unique new BigTwin 2U four-node system with maximum performance (IOPS/GB), each node has 10 e1.s drivers plus two SATA m.2.BigTwin USES the industry-leading multi-node efficiency of Shared power and cooling functions to save more resources by increasing the thermal efficiency of EDSFF drives.Each node also supports two second-generation Intel ® to strong ® expandable processors, up to 205 watts and 24 DIMM, without compromising functionality.

Amd's Petascale series all-flash NVMe™ 1U storage server supports data bandwidth of up to 52 GB/s, high IOPS performance, NVMe over Fabrics and next-generation flash technology for easy maintenance.

The new EDSFF Petascale system optimates capacity and efficiency ($/GB/Watt), including 1U Petascale e1.l with 32 high-capacity e1.l drives, 1U Petascale e1.s with 32 high-capacity e1.s drives, and 32-petascale JBOF with 32 e1.l drives for storage expansion and connection up to 8 hosts.All of these systems are now available.

Amd also offers a 1U Petascale system optimized for the NF1 NVME drive, which has been shipped in bulk since q4 2018.Like the EDSFF Petascale system, the 1U Petascale NF1 supports 32 high-capacity drives.
