Empowering Next-Generation Applications through FLASH Innovation

摘要

The flash industry has continuously produced game-changing innovations in density, latency, and form factors resulting in large cost-performance benefits. To address the wide spectrum of storage demands coming from phone/IoT devices, mobile compute, up to data centers, new flash architectures are essential to handle these next generation applications. Future technology must include not only new architectures and more layers in flash chip designs, but also a roadmap for QLC flash and beyond, new memories, new classes of SSDs, and new software technologies. They must all come together to enable and accelerate the next wave of applications including the real-time analytics, AI (Artificial Intelligence)/ML (Machine Learning), high-performance computing, IoT, and virtual and augmented reality.
