The announcement was done during CloudFest 2022, a worldwide tech event that gathers the brightest mind in the cloud, storage, and tech industry. Just take a quick glance at how it looked like there &#8211; that was our first regular event after the pandemic break and it was a blast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the main point of this article is to share with you some useful resources about the testing and certification process!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now to cut the long story short, the modern data storage market requires solutions with exceptional characteristics. The most crucial of them are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>High capacity<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>High speed <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Affordability<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Long lifespan of data storage parts<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Low latency <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sensible power usage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The icing on the cake of those demands is a <\/span><b>reasonable price-performance ratio<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which makes building storage solutions even more complicated nowadays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, there are the KIOXIA FL6 NVMe\u2122 SSDs, which in conjunction with the Open-E software, rode on a white horse to the storage market, solving problems and fulfilling the demands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But all jokes aside. How do we know the solution is so worthy of attention? Well, the SSDs and software were tested in the Open-E labs in two data storage scenarios: serving as <\/span><b>cache devices supporting both write operations (write log)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>read operations (read cache)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and as <\/span><b>data drives in the All-Flash data storage appliance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The results turned out to be more than satisfactory!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live demo of KIOXIA FL6 NVMe\u2122 SSDs with Open-E JovianDSS<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our specialists got impressed with the performance of the tested SSDs. The results were so remarkable that we have decided to share with you a live demo of the solution during which we dig deep into the topic, highlighting the reasons for our astonishment. The video was broadcasted during CloudFest 2022 too, and we got a lot of positive feedback about it. So, there it goes, we share it with the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch the video below.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Live Demo of a Multi-Purpose Data Storage Solution by KIOXIA and Open-E\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TBTTt1UeKiQ\" width=\"1237\" height=\"696\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you could see yourself, KIOXIA FL6 NVMe\u2122 SSDs can adjust to a variety of purposes in data storage setups!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to the speed and capacity the SSDs proved their\u00a0<b>outstanding performance as read and write caching devices for HDDs,<\/b>\u00a0as well as\u00a0<b>data drives for all-flash storage solutions.<\/b>\u00a0It is indicated that\u00a0<b>KIOXIA FL6 NVMe\u2122 SSDs are universal and can be implemented in a variety of setups.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open-E recommends KIOXIA FL6 NVMe\u2122 SSDs for <\/span><b>data and cache devices<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Thanks to the combination of performance, low latency, and high endurance, they indeed support clients\u2019 common workloads, like databases, virtualization, online transaction processing, and virtual infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text\"><em>&#8220;With FL6, KIOXIA has released a flash-based storage-class memory SSD with PCIe Gen 4 Interface, which is cost-effectively bridging the gap between DRAM and TLC-based SSDs. We are happy that Open-E as a trusted supplier for Software-Defined Storage systems and as an Expert in Storage Tiering has tested and certified FL6 under the latest Open-E JovianDSS version. We trust that customers will appreciate FL6 superiority within Storage Class Memory products and the benefits FL6 is offering to Server and Storage Systems.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"signature\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Frederik Haak, Senior Manager \u2013 SSD Marketing and Engineering at KIOXIA Europe GmbH<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to know more?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a detailed story behind this project of Open-E and KIOXIA by reading a Solution Brief on this topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.open-e.com\/download\/data-sheets\/kioxia-fl6-800-gb-enterprise-scm-nvmetm-ssd\/\">Solution Brief here &gt;&gt;<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need some specific technical details of the testing and certification, take a look at the Certification Report.
