Solidigm to Address AI, Sustainability, and Edge Computing Innovations at Six Five Summit

In a series of discussions at the fifth annual Six Five Summit, Solidigm, a subsidiary of SK hynix, is set to discuss various critical issues facing the data storage industry. The virtual event will run from June 11 to June 13, 2024, featuring key personnel from Solidigm, including Co-CEO Dave Dixon and SVP Head of Strategic Planning and Marketing, Greg Matson. The summit brings industry leaders together to explore advancements across multiple technological domains.

Focusing on Key Industry Challenges

Dixon and Matson will join thought leaders such as Keith Townsend of The Futurum Group, and Patrick Moorhead, Founder and CEO of Moor Insights & Strategy, to delve into three main discussions. These talks will focus on high-capacity storage solutions and their implications for AI, edge computing, and sustainability.

1. AI and Storage Efficiency

On June 11, the session titled “How Great Storage Enables AI Performance and Efficiency at Scale” will address the growing demand for robust AI development infrastructure. With datasets getting larger, traditional storage solutions are becoming inadequate. The discussion will explore how high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) can enhance the efficiency of AI models by improving GPU utilization and reducing overall costs.

2. Edge Computing

The same day, another discussion, “The Edge Landscape and How Innovative High-Density Storage Transcends Edge Workloads,” will look into modern solutions to replace legacy storage technology. As edge computing applications require more storage capacity and reliability, this session will shed light on how high-density storage can meet these demands.

3. Sustainability in Data Storage

The final session on June 13, titled “SSD Innovation: Store More Data in Less Space to Improve Storage Sustainability,” will focus on the environmental impact of data storage. The speakers will discuss how higher-density SSDs contribute to reduced power consumption and space requirements in data centres, aiding sustainability efforts in the industry.

According to co-CEO Dave Dixon, “Solidigm is committed to expanding the possibilities data offers to power human progress. Our high-density storage solutions play a critical role in powering the efficiencies, sustainability, and innovation needed in data centres.”

Context on Solidigm

Solidigm emerged from Intel’s divestiture of its NAND and SSD business, becoming a standalone subsidiary of SK hynix in December 2021. The company, based in Rancho Cordova, California, aims to unlock data’s potential through innovative NAND flash memory solutions.

Greg Matson added, “As the tech landscape evolves, we aim to tackle critical challenges in AI development, edge computing, and sustainability. The Six Five Summit is a key opportunity to engage with industry leaders and share insights on the pivotal role of storage technology.”
