Flash storage solutions provider SanDisk Corporation has introduced its new CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II SATA SSD, a purpose-built storage device for cloud service providers with up to 2TB capacity. Based on 15nm NAND flash, the new CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II SSD offers greater storage density with three times the streaming bandwidth verses hard disk drives (HDDs). Designed as a drop-in replacement for HDDs, the storage device aims to provide datacenters with a lower cost-per-square-foot for hyperscale applications such as analytics, media streaming, and content repositories.
“Digital business transformation has put tremendous pressure on cloud service providers to deliver massive capacity and performance with increasing cost efficiency,” says John Scaramuzzo, senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Storage Solutions, SanDisk. “We’ve designed CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II to deliver better cloud-scale economics with specific features so that cloud service providers can deliver superior customer experiences.”
As with all CloudSpeed SSDs, CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II 2TB SSD includes the company’s Guardian Technology Platform, which works to provide a combination of error correction and detection technology, full data path protection, and data fail recovery.
The new SSD is now sampling with select hyperscale customers. It will be available through SanDisk Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) and select Enterprise Channel Partners later this year. For more information about CloudSpeed Eco Gen. II, visit www.sandisk.com/enterprise/sata-ssd/.
