An enormous increase in Internet traffic and data volume is
challenging data centers
Keep ahead of ever-increasing data demands
The rapid increase in Internet traffic has placed huge demands
on data centers, spurred on by businesses and consumers alike.
To stay abreast of the enormous volumes, velocity and varieties
of data, data centers are turning to faster-performing SSDs to
meet customer demand. As much of the huge daily volume of
this data is unstructured, there is also an increasing need for big
data analysis to help improve operational efficiency and provide
better service. In order to handle these extremely large data sets
and perform big data analytics efficiently, SSDs are needed to
accomplish the ultrafast processing required.
Satisfy big data demands with SSDs optimized
for 24/7 data center use
The Samsung 863 Series satisfy these big data requirements
with two innovative SSDs, the PM863 and the SM863. Each
is specially engineered for specific applications. The PM863,
engineered for mixed workload data centers, boasts highperformance random read/write (R/W) workloads, such as
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), streaming and web servers.
On the other hand, the SM863 is optimized for write-intensive
applications, such as Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and
email and database servers, able to process massive amounts of
information with high efficiency.
