KIOXIA America Highlights Storage Solutions from the Edge to the Cloud at HPE Discover 2022

Next week at HPE Discover 2022, KIOXIA America, Inc. will showcase its broad lineup of next-gen, flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) that are optimizing Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) solutions ? and paving the way for the next wave of digital transformation. KIOXIA has been collaborating with HPE to create best-in-class storage solutions for years, and the company's products enable a broad range of HPE solutions, from mobile to data center to enterprise. These products include a new class of SAS SSDs that bring unprecedented speeds to SAS-equipped architectures, PCIe 5.0 NVMe^® SSDs that double the performance of PCIe 4.0 SSDs¹ and new form factors that enable high performance and density.

In addition to live demos, KIOXIA will conduct two breakout sessions focusing on its new products and its longstanding collaboration with HPE that showcases the companies' leadership in storage technology. These presentations will take place on June 28^th at 3:30 p.m. and June 29^th at 5:00 p.m. (Session ID: BB5285).

Product and technology demonstrations will be given in the KIOXIA booth #306 on the show floor at the Venetian^® Resort from June 28 ? 30 and include:

• CD7 Series EDSFF E3.S Data Center NVMe SSDs running MongoDB^® on HPE ProLiant servers ? in one of the first public demonstrations of an E3.S drive. EDSFF E3 specifications were developed by leading companies that include HPE and KIOXIA to optimize SSD designs for capacity, power, performance, and thermal/cooling ? and to replace legacy 2.5" form factor SSDs.
• PM6 Series 24G SAS and RM6 Series Value SAS SSDs running VMware^® vSANtm workloads on HPE ProLiant DL380 servers. KIOXIA RM6 drives deliver high performance and reliability at a price point targeting SATA SSDs.
• CM6 Series Enterprise NVMe SSDs (with FIPS 140-3 security module validation) running with encryption on an HPE Alletratm array.

Definition of capacity: KIOXIA Corporation defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1Gb = 2^30 bits = 1,073,741,824 bits, 1GB = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
