Digital Intelligence Innovation AI Future

At the opening ceremony, Song Jiayu, editor-in-chief of DOIT Media, shared research and thoughts on data and storage issues. He pointed out that the so-called storage emphasizes the storage, protection and security of data, but data storage is a means rather than an end; data stored for a long time cannot create new value if it is not fully exploited and used.

Song Jiayu, editor-in-chief of DOIT Media, talked about the essence of the summit theme "Digital Intelligence Innovation AI Future." Song Jiayu said that AI (@) future expresses "connection." From the perspective of digital intelligence innovation, large model training and machine learning are only one of many ways for human beings to use data. Driven by applications, the development of data storage needs to adapt to each other.

"Everything is in a state of rapid change and development. Song Jiayu said that artificial intelligence has spawned technical demands for HBM memory and GDDR memory. At the same time, disk and flash disk technologies represented by EDSFF and CXL, data Access Management technologies represented by FDP and ZNS, data reconstruction technologies represented by Share Everything, and intelligent storage technologies represented by AI will profoundly affect and change the existing market structure.

Experts, professors and representatives of leading manufacturers in the data storage field attending the "2023 China Data and Storage Summit" expressed their views on relevant technology trends and applications.

In view of the reality of rapid data growth, in the keynote speech "Storage Density Rules Accelerate Digital Intelligence Innovation," Ni Jinfeng reviewed the demand for storage technology put forward by the change of application scenarios, analyzed the challenges of storage from cloud and edge to end under the trend of decentralization due to space, power consumption, efficiency, cost, environment and other factors, as well as Solidigm's development strategy, and shared Solidigm's continuous optimization of products according to customers 'actual needs to better support medical treatment, retail and transportation. Experience in intelligent construction of inventory and other industries. Solidigm also showcased innovative products such as the P5336 series of high-density solid state drives with a capacity of 61.44TB.

Huang Yunxin, vice president of R & D of Dapu Microchip, shared in his speech entitled "Opportunities and Challenges of Domestic Enterprise SSD Master Control":"At present, the domestic enterprise-level SSD market is developing very rapidly. According to the survey, the proportion of domestic PCIe eSSD will increase from 18.7% in 2021 to 32.2% in 2022, driving the proportion of domestic master from 12.2% in 2021 to 26.4% in 2022. At this rate, there is a great chance that domestic control will become the mainstream of the market. However, in fact, domestic control faces many challenges. Huang Yunxin suggested adopting Turnkey mode, differential customization, improving stability, abandoning the idea of low-price competition, and actively arranging overseas markets. He also introduced that DapuStor PCIe5.0 domestic main control chip DP800 has been successfully released, which meets the application requirements of the industry with multi-characteristics, high performance, high security and high stability. "

A new term emerged at the summit: a storage tax.

Shu Jiwu, a professor at Tsinghua University and dean of Minjiang College, explained: "Storage tax is to separate and charge separately various services such as capacity, bandwidth and CPU computing power enjoyed in the process of supporting data storage application needs. Shu Jiwu put forward two basic ways to reduce storage tax in his report "Design and Thinking of New Storage System with Low Storage Tax": hardware unloading based on new interface/new capability, and software reconstruction based on new programming interface to reduce overhead.

In August, HPE launched a new Alletra MP built for AI natively in China, providing 100 percent availability, twice the performance improvement of the previous generation of storage, and 98 percent administrative time savings. Zhang Nan, General Manager of HPE China Storage Business Department, proposed in the keynote speech of "Intelligent Storage Reconstruction, HPE Allotra MP" Flash "Yao AI New Future" that it is based on the concept of "reconstruction" that Allotra MP creates value for the market and users through the reconstruction of architecture, experience and value.
