Viking Technology, a division of Sanmina Corporation
(Nasdaq: SANM), today unveiled its new Silo Solid State Drive, a SSD that
delivers flash performance with the industry's highest capacity (50TB). The
Silo SSD, part of the Ultra High-Capacity (UHC) family of Viking products,
enables significant data center space and power reduction compared to HDDs,
while offering the same 3.5" form factor and standard SAS interface,
easing the migration to flash.
Viking Technology's UHC-Silo SSD series, powered by
a next generation flash processor, balances performance, capacity, cost, and
energy efficiency, making it ideal for applications such as cloud computing,
big data, external storage systems, digital imaging and media, technical
applications and cold storage. At 25TB and 50TB capacities, the UHC-Silo SSD
products are the highest capacity solid state drives shipping today.
Purpose built for energy efficiency, the
UHC-Silo SSD offers idle power consumption under 10 watts and active power
usage of only 16W, greatly increasing overall storage capacity per rack while
decreasing power per terabyte. Datacenters looking to transition to a
plug-and-play UHC-Silo SSD can realize cost savings in power, space, and
cooling of up to 80% per terabyte.
