KUALA LUMPUR, Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, announced its RAID Offload on solid state drive (SSD) technology has received a Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) 'Best of Show' award in the 'Most Innovative Technology' SSD technology category. According to Kioxia in a statement, these awards recognise the most significant products and companies worldwide within the memory and storage industries. 'We are honoured to recognise Kioxia's groundbreaking RAID Offload data protection technology with a 'Best of Show' award. 'This is a standout achievement, reflecting not only Kioxia's technological prowess but also their ability to address critical industry challenges with cutting-edge solutions,' said FMS Awards Program Chairman and Network Storage Advisors Inc President, Jay Kramer. As compute and storage technologies evolve, data protection through RAID or Erasure Coding (EC) becomes increasingly demanding. Moreover, traditional software and hardware RAID and erasure coding solutions s truggle to keep pace with the rapid advancements in SSD performance, which increases with each new generation. These issues highlight the need for innovative approaches to address data protection challenges faced by modern server and storage systems. Kioxia's SSDs with RAID Offload provide a standards-based, host-orchestrated scale out and sustainable solution to offload RAID parity compute. This frees up valuable host central processing unit (CPU), memory and cache resources that can now be used to accelerate primary applications, hence significantly improve performance, reduce system cost, and increase power efficiency in server and storage systems.
