SanDisk introduces new enterprise SDD for cloud data services

SanDisk is introducing its new CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II SATA SSD for cloud service provider (CSP) and software-defined storage (SDS) vendor environments. Offering up to 1.6TB of usable capacity, CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II SATA SSD provides the storage performance and density needed for mixed-use, latency-sensitive transactional workloads—such as e-commerce and collaborative online services.

The SSD serves up to 32,000 4K write IOPS with 530MB/sec throughput, and an 80 microseconds random read write latency - delivering 99.9 percent quality of service (QoS).

“The demand of transaction-oriented applications puts tremendous strain on our cloud service provider customers to architect data centre platforms capable of delivering high performance, while keeping infrastructure costs in check,” said John Scaramuzzo, senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Storage Solutions, SanDisk. “With CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II, CSPand SDS companies can provide an exceptional customer experience, while reducing administrative overhead along with the number of servers and software licenses needed to support transaction and analytical databases.”

CloudSpeed Ultra Gen. II SSD, which comes with a  limited five year warranty, includes SanDisk’s Guardian Technology Platform, which works to provide a combination of error correction and detection technology, full data path protection and data fail recovery.
