AI Technical Summary
Traditional data center storage systems face inefficiencies due to the coupling of computing and storage resources, high costs of enterprise-grade SSDs, and the limitations of using consumer-grade SSDs, which have poor endurance and write latency, leading to single points of failure and increased costs.
A disaggregated software-defined storage architecture decouples computing and storage resources, utilizing consumer-grade SSDs with non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) to manage write operations, reduce write-erase cycles, and implement data resiliency schemes like N+K erasure correction, ensuring enterprise-grade performance with lower-cost SSDs.
The solution provides scalable, cost-effective storage with improved SSD endurance and reduced latency, maintaining data integrity and system availability by minimizing write amplification and supporting concurrent operations.
