With the development of cloud, Internet of Things, high-speed computing, artificial intelligence, big data and other technologies, the demand for storage products has not only extended from large data centers but also to small and medium-sized applications, such as data servers in the financial or telecommunication industry, and edge/cloud computing. These applications process large amounts of data and require storage products with higher data integrity, faster data processing speed and higher level of data security.
The role of most enterprise SSDs is to serve as a boot drive or additional storage, but this doesn’t take full advantage of the drive’s storage space in most cases. Depending on the actual application behavior and requirements of enterprises, Apacer’s Enterprise SSD can be flexibly configured as a boot device or a storage device via user-adjustable settings. In addition, because enterprise storage equipment does not use only one hard disk, but rather dozens or even hundreds of disks operating at the same time, the question of how best to provide stable and predictable data transmission is very important. Apacer has consistent performance in QoS (quality of service), IOPS (input/output operations per second, a measure of the number of reads and writes per second), and DWPD (drive writes per day, hard disk daily write volume), to ensure that the drive’s multifunctional performance meets high-speed and mass transmission requirements.
In the process of cloud data transmission, the most important thing is the security of data storage. Apacer provides a variety of value-added technologies, such AES (advanced encryption standard), to provide highly secure encryption. TCG Opal specifications are also available, providing pre-boot authentication and distributing the content of data that different users can access through firmware technology to prevent data from being stolen or tampered with, which is a key advantage of self-encrypting drives. Another concern is an unexpected loss of power, which can lead to data loss or equipment failure. Apacer has developed CorePower technology, which can maintain data transmission when the SSD faces an emergency power outage. Through these three technologies, a protective transmission process is created to deliver reliability and stability to enterprise users.
Now, SATA and PCIe interface in 2.5", U.3, M.2 2280, M.2 22110, E1.S, and E3.S are supported.
