KIOXIA Europe GmbH announced a breakthrough in high-density storage infrastructure, collaborating with Dell Technologies to deliver a 2U server configuration capable of scaling to an unprecedented 9.8 petabytes (PB) of flash storage.
By combining the Dell PowerEdge™ R7725xd server with AMD EPYC™ processors and 40 KIOXIA LC9 Series E3.L form factor 245.76 terabyte (TB) NVMe™ SSDs, the companies are enabling a new class of storage-optimized platforms built to meet the demands of AI, large-scale data lakes, and data-intensive enterprise workloads.
“As AI workloads grow more demanding, the infrastructure supporting them must keep pace,” said Arun Narayanan, senior vice president, Compute and Networking, Dell Technologies. “The Dell PowerEdge R7725xd combined with KIOXIA’s high-capacity enterprise SSDs delivers the storage density and power efficiency our customers need to scale AI infrastructure without sacrificing performance.”
Dell PowerEdge R7725xd servers are built for modern AI and data-centric workloads, combining dense storage with powerful compute. These flexible, air-cooled storage configurations complement GPU-enabled servers, supporting AI data management and model training by delivering massive storage capacity across the AI lifecycle. These systems support up to 5x 400 Gbps NICs, allowing users to fill and move data through pipelines more efficiently – ultimately making the most of their data. Paired with KIOXIA LC9 Series 245.76 TB SSDs, these systems provide high-capacity, power-efficient solutions that reduce TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and data center footprint.
