Innodisk is pushing the development of edge AI technology. In doing so, it has officially launched an edge computing solid-state drive (SSD) product line, consisting of the 2.5” SATA 3TS6-P, 3TS9-P and M.2 (P80) 4TS2-P drives. Innodisk’s edge AI SSDs feature low latency, high drive writes per day (DWPD), and large capacities. In addition, the included iCell and AES technologies protect data from losses and breaches. Aiming at smart retail, smart city, smart fleet management, and NAS network storage applications, Innodisk is providing high speeds, reliability, and industrial-grade high quality to respond to the rising market needs.

Research suggests that the edge data center market is expected to reach a compound annual growth rate of 24.58% between 2020 and 2028. With the rapid development of AI, IoT, and 5G, data utilization has shifted from cloud to edge applications, driving the demand for edge servers and edge data centers. Innodisk is ready to roll out edge server market solutions and open up business opportunities.
 Edge AI SSDs inside edge servers are required to process data at high speeds at the source, instead of sending all data back to a central data center, thus improving latency and reducing cost. As an example, smart streetlights and traffic monitoring units rely on the SSD to provide high-speed read/write, a large capacity, and low latency to process data in real time, and the same can be said for edge data centers. With the series reaching 6.4TB, these SSDs are sure to disrupt the edge storage market and improve experiences for end users.
