Dell Technologies and Kioxia announced a high-density storage solution for AI and large-scale data workloads. This platform combines a Dell PowerEdge R7725xd server with 40 Kioxia LC9 Series SSDs. Each drive provides 245.76 TB of capacity. The configuration achieves 9.8 petabytes (PB) of flash storage within a single 2U server.
The solution targets generative AI and massive data lakes to improve total cost of ownership. It maximizes storage capacity within a small physical footprint to reduce power consumption. This design decreases the total number of servers required for data centers. Organizations can scale AI infrastructure without increasing energy use or floor space.
