Smart’s Data Centre SSDs Selected As Open Compute Project Inspired Product



KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 (Bernama) -- SMART Modular Technologies Inc (SMART), announced the Open Compute Project (OCP) has accepted SMART’s DC4800 data centre solid state drives (SSDs) as an OCP Inspired product and will be featured on the OCP website in the Marketplace section.

In a statement, SMART said only products that comply with 100 per cent of OCP’s stringent specifications are selected after a rigorous process that demonstrates the product’s efficiency, openness, impact and scale.

SMART senior director of advanced product development, Andy Mills said OCP-compliant SSDs are becoming the new standard for both data centre and classic enterprise storage applications, which is a testament to how essential the standard has become.

“The Open Compute Project represents a truly cooperative venture in leading innovation within the technology industry and we are proud that our DC4800 product has now joined the ranks of OCP Inspired products,” he said.

By designing to OCP’s standards, an expanding base of enterprise class data centre SSD users are assured that the OCP class DC4800 exceeds basic NVMe standards that further help drive a greater level of standardisation for data centre servers and other equipment utilising OCP class SSDs.

SMART’s DC4800 represents a new class of high performance, power efficient, data centre SSDs, and the devices are manufactured with a specialised hardware-accelerated SSD controller that draws less power without compromising storage input/output (I/O) performance.

This unique new architecture results in near zero thermal induced throttling, enabling these SSDs to perform better under continued duress, even when they are pushed to their performance limit.

A division of SGH and a global leader in memory solutions, SSDs and advanced memory, SMART has been helping customers around the world enable high performance computing through the design, development and advanced packaging of specialty memory solutions.
