Toshiba Memory has been a long-term OEM supplier for nearly two decades,
and 2019 marks the third year in a row that the company has been a
Diamond-level Dell Technologies World sponsor. Toshiba Memory products
can be found in numerous solutions across multiple product lines,
including laptop/mobile computing, desktop, data center, and enterprise
servers/storage.

Demonstrations are located in TMA’s booth #1303 on the show floor at The
Venetian Resort® from April 29 through May 2, and include:

Toshiba Memory SSD and Flash Products: Enterprise/data
center SSDs, client SSDs, self-encrypting drive (SED) SSDs, and 96-layer
BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory.

Highlights include:

• RM5 Series Value SAS and CD5 Series Data Center NVMe™ (NVM Express)
  SSDs: Designed to replace enterprise SATA SSDs in server
  applications, Toshiba Memory is introducing the world’s first value
  SAS SSD and a new series of data center NVMe SSDs. These new SSDs,
  available for all types of servers, will deliver more than twice the
  performance per dollar¹ of SATA SSDs at similar price
  points. The RM5 and CD5 Series will be showcased delivering up to 137%
  higher system level performance¹ in a variety of server
  configurations and workloads. Toshiba Memory will also showcase live
  application demonstrations of these SSDs in a variety of server
  platforms, including a composable architecture solution delivering 40%
  application performance and 50% improvement in transactional latency
  over SATA based systems².
• PM5 Series Enterprise SAS SSDs: Toshiba Memory’s robust PM5
  Enterprise SAS SSD will be showcased in live demonstrations of a high
  I/O intensity workload and a mixed SMB workload running on various
  hyperconverged platform solutions.
• HK6 Series Enterprise SATA SSDs: A cost-effective flash storage
  option for mainstream and high-volume servers.
• KumoScale^TM NVMe-oF Shared Accelerated
  Storage Software: KumoScale
  enables the use of NVMe-oF to make flash storage accessible over a
  data center network, providing a simple and flexible abstraction of
  physical NVMe disks into a pool of block storage, all while preserving
  the high performance of direct-attached NVMe SSDs. Toshiba Memory
  recently enhanced
  KumoScale’s capabilities: the version 3.9 production release
  includes general availability support for TCP-based networks.

Additionally, TMA will participate in breakout sessions focused on its
new value SAS and low-power NVMe SSD solutions, titled “Life after SATA
– Moving from SATA SSDs to SAS/NVMe in the Data Center.” TMA will also
join the Dell Technologies World executive summit, and Jeremy Werner,
senior vice president and general manager, SSD business unit, will be
featured in a live interview on Dell EMC TV. The breakout sessions and
interview will be available on-demand on the Dell
Technologies World site at the conclusion of the show.

“The time for real transformation is now, and the change agent behind
data center modernization is flash-based storage,” noted Werner. “We are
proud to support Dell Technologies and work together toward a future
where improved agility, greater efficiencies, reduced maintenance, and
lower operational costs are facts of life for our mutual customers.”
