Sustainable Performance in the Data Center

Moor Insights & Strategy White Paper

Solidigm delivers performance and sustainability in the AI era

Power and sustainability in data centers has become a central issue with the growth of stored data. The ever-growing size of AI data needs have driven the conversation to the forefront as AI workloads compete with enterprise data center usage for a limited resource: Power. Recent studies estimate that about 40% of a data center’s budget is allocated to power, and of that about 15% is used in storage.

In the linked article, Solidigm and Moor parnered to look into sustainability in the data center when it comes to storage. See how the use of high-density QLC SSDs in the data center can reduce storage-related power costs by up to 84% while delivering performance gains for data-intensive workloads like AI and HPC.

Matt Kimball, Principal Analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy and White Paper author says, “In addition to the sustainability and fiscal costs, storage can also levy a performance tax on high-performance workloads, with examples ranging from high-frequency trading to electronic design to genomics. The performance tax can lead to significant costs—both direct and indirect. Solidigm’s new high-density QLC SSD enables enterprise IT organizations to make real progress toward sustainability goals while delivering greater storage performance for these business-critical workloads. Because of this, MI&S expects the [Solidigm] D5-P5336 122TB SSD to populate many enterprise and hyperscale data centers.”
