As computational storage gets more buzz, ScaleFlux talks up latest CSDs – Blocks and Files
Summary
The security aspect needs working out as well, lengthening standards development.” The company developed on-drive compression system-on-chip hardware and firmware to offload the host CPU. The SoC is used to build two products: the shipping CSD (Computational Storage Drive) 3000 and the soon-to-be-shipping and capacity-multiplying NSD 3000 NVMe SSD, both using TLC (3bits/cell) flash. He mentioned a quote from Scale Field CTO Alan Conboy: “ScaleFlux CSDs bring a force multiplier for edge computing.” Wolfe also said a PCIe gen 5-supporting product was in development. Aerospike found that ScaleFlux drives enabled a server node to double the transactions/sec rate, exhibit more predictable latencies and multiply endurance by 4x. The company’s inclusion in the 2022 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 listing, where it has a number 468 position with 265 percent revenue growth from 2018 to 2021, suggests that it is getting good traction in the market.
