\nBy combining transparent compression with QLC NAND from Micron, ScaleFlux Data Scale Edition enables Flash for the data center at HDD-like costs

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ScaleFlux, Inc.<\/u><\/a>, the leader in deploying Computational Storage at scale, today announced it has expanded its Computational Storage Drive (CSD) portfolio to include quad-level cell (QLC) NAND Flash storage from Micron Technology, Inc.<\/u><\/a> (Nasdaq: MU). These new QLC drives \u2014 with integrated and transparent compression \u2014 dramatically improve the affordability of Flash storage, reducing costs to less than $0.01 per gigabyte per year.<\/p>\n

Rapidly-growing Flash storage capacity stretches IT budgets, and QLC is attractive for delivering on average 15-20% lower price than its triple-level cell (TLC) equivalent. However, the tradeoffs when it comes to cost, performance, and endurance have limited the overall adoption of QLC in the data center and enterprise markets.<\/p>\n

By adding Micron QLC to the Data Scale Edition of ScaleFlux\u2019s CSD product line, ScaleFlux is eliminating the performance and endurance tradeoffs, enabling customers to adopt QLC and approach HDD levels of cost per gigabyte. Customers now receive more value from their storage dollars \u2014 whether leveraging lower-cost QLC instead of TLC for their growing Flash storage footprint, or utilizing QLC as a massively faster tier of warm storage at near-HDD costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing the value of Computational Storage to QLC will significantly improve the affordability of scaling Flash deployments,\u201d said Hao Zhong, Co-founder and CEO of ScaleFlux. \u201cWe are solving the performance and endurance challenges that ordinary QLC drives encounter while expanding the cost savings. It\u2019s a win-win for customers with growing needs for storage that can keep up with today\u2019s data-driven businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n
