The Solidigm™ D5-P5336 is part of Solidigm's third-generation QLC SSDs for the data center delivering an industry-leading blend of capacity read-optimized performance and value to read- and data-intensive workloads.

Combining read performance exceeding that of some cost-optimized TLC SSDs and capacities up to 61.44TB built on industry-leading NAND density the D5-P5336 has been architected to efficiently accelerate and scale the increasingly massive datasets found in widely deployed modern read-intensive workloads while increasing storage density reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) and enabling a more sustainable storage infrastructure.

Storage Density Matters

Widely adopted modern workloads are becoming even more data hungry. Many AI models are growing as much as 10x in size every two years. Many streaming services are shifting from limited paid-for capacity to unlimited free capacity. With connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices expected to reach 14.5B by the end of 2023 supported by the tailwind of an accelerating 5G rollout there is no end in sight to unabated growth in data-rich services and applications.

Accompanying this trend is the decentralization of compute and storage to the edge to improve service levels reduce cost and improve agility. As recently as 2018 only 10 percent of enterprise-generated data was created and processed outside of traditional centralized data centers or cloud services. By 2025 Gartner expects 75 percent of that data to be created processed and stored at edge locations.6 Storage challenges such as space power cooling and serviceability become even more acute when considering locality constraints at edge deployments.

Optimized Capabilities for Read-Intensive Workloads

In this environment modern data-hungry workloads such as data pipelines and data lakes for AI machine learning (ML) big data analytics content-delivery network (CDN) scale-out NAS object storage and edge usages are increasingly concerned with storing and accessing vast amounts of data efficiently at speed. The D5-P5336 is optimized for both requirements with read performance equivalent to TLC SSDs and capacities that are 2-3x higher than alternatives.
