Innodisk, a leading global AI solution provider, has introduced its new E1.S SSD, which is specifically designed to meet the demands of growing edge computing applications. The E1.S edge server SSD offers exceptional performance, reliability, and thermal management capabilities to address the critical needs of modern data-intensive environments and bridge the gap between traditional industrial SSDs and data center SSDs.

As AI and 5G technologies rapidly evolve, the demands on data processing and storage continue to grow. The E1.S SSD addresses the challenges of balancing heat dissipation and performance, which has become a major concern for today's SSDs. Traditional industrial and data center SSDs often struggle to meet the needs of edge applications. Innodisk's E1.S eliminates these bottlenecks with its Enterprise and Data Center Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) design and offers a superior alternative to U.2 and M.2 SSDs.

Late Tuesday, Microsoft Azure shared an interesting picture on its social media platform X, showcasing the pinnacle of GPU-accelerated servers—NVIDIA "Blackwell" GB200-powered AI systems. Microsoft is one of NVIDIA's largest customers, and the company often receives products first to integrate into its cloud and company infrastructure. Even NVIDIA listens to feedback from companies like Microsoft about designing future products, especially those like the now-canceled NVL36x2 system. The picture below shows a massive cluster that roughly divides the compute area into a single-third of the entire system, with a gigantic two-thirds of the system dedicated to closed-loop liquid cooling.

The entire system is connected using Infiniband networking, a standard for GPU-accelerated systems due to its lower latency in packet transfer. While the details of the system are scarce, we can see that the integrated closed-loop liquid cooling allows the GPU racks to be in a 1U form for increased density. Given that these systems will go into the wider Microsoft Azure data centers, a system needs to be easily maintained and cooled. There are indeed limits in power and heat output that Microsoft's data centers can handle, so these types of systems often fit inside internal specifications that Microsoft designs. There are more compute-dense systems, of course, like NVIDIA's NVL72, but hyperscalers should usually opt for other custom solutions that fit into their data center specifications. Finally, Microsoft noted that we can expect to see more details at the upcoming Microsoft Ignite conference in November and learn more about its GB200-powered AI systems.

MSI, a leading global server provider, today announced the availability of high-performance server platforms supporting AMD EPYC 4004 Processors for small and medium businesses and regional-hosted IT service providers to deliver essential security capabilities and energy efficiency. "Businesses across all scales are discovering the advantages of advanced computing, connectivity, and analytics capabilities as applications and services become more widespread," said Danny Hsu, General Manager of Enterprise Platform Solutions. "MSI server platforms, supporting AMD EPYC 4004 Processors, empower our customers to implement high-performance computing with cost-effective, ease of deployment, and manageability features. This capability addresses challenges such as system costs, limited IT expertise, and other infrastructure constraints that were previously prohibitive."

"The new AMD EPYC 4004 Series CPUs, along with our strong ecosystem of technology partners, bring enterprise solutions to a traditionally underserved market and ensure that small and medium businesses have access to highly-performant technologies that help them stay competitive," said John Morris, corporate vice president, Enterprise and HPC Business Group, AMD.

Leaked Samsung PBSSD presentation material popped up online a couple of days prior to the kick-off day of NVIDIA's GTC 2024 conference (March 18)—reports (at the time) jumped on the potential introduction of a "petabyte (PB)-level SSD solution," alongside an enterprise subscription service for the US market. Tom's Hardware took the time to investigate this matter—in-person—on the showroom floor up in San Jose, California. It turns out that interpretations of pre-event information were slightly off—according to on-site investigations: "despite the name, PBSSD is not a petabyte-scale solid-state drive (Samsung's highest-capacity drive can store circa 240 TB), but rather a 'petascale' storage system that can scale-out all-flash storage capacity to petabytes."

Samsung showcased a Supermicro Petascale server design, but a lone unit is nowhere near capable of providing a petabyte of storage—the Tom's Hardware reporter found out that the demonstration model housed: "sixteen 15.36 TB SSDs, so for now the whole 1U unit can only pack up to 245.76 TB of 3D NAND storage (which is pretty far from a petabyte), so four of such units will be needed to store a petabyte of data." Company representatives also had another Supermicro product at their booth: "(an) H13 all-flash petascale system with CXL support that can house eight E3.S SSDs (with) four front-loading E3.S CXL bays for memory expansion."
