Edge applications with Innodisk solutions

Secure, high-performance global networks are in use in retail applications. Often these are organizations with hundreds or more geographically dispersed locations. Customer and PoS data must be secured and protected in this process, both at the physical retail location and as it travels over the network to transaction processors and to headquarters or retail data centers. New edge applications in stores collect data about local devices based on customer experiences. Examples include digital mirrors and smart dressing rooms. These applications require a high DWPD value. The Supermicro Intelligent Edge Server 1019D-16C-FHN13TP is often used here.

Gateway applications for automotive data loggers require very large storage capacity and a high WT value, as each vehicle generates a huge amount of information and processing it adds value for users and additional security capabilities. This data contributes to new business models and business information.

One generally divides the SSD market into three segments. Consumer SSDs are cost-driven and are used in PCs and smartphones. Industrial SSDs are characterized by high reliability. Long-term supply is another important criterion. Applications are in industrial PCs and the IoT. Enterprise SSDs require high durability and low latency. They are used in servers, data centers and high-performance computing. While end-user SSDs are designed to operate at +40°C and 8 hours per day, the requirement for enterprise SSDs is to operate at +55°C and 24 hours per day.

Innodisk supplies industrial SSDs specifically for use in edge applications. They feature high reliability with no performance loss over their lifetime. They feature thermal management and reliability is ensured by end-to-end data protection and power failure protection. Security is ensured by hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption and TCG OPAL 2.0. The SATA 3TS6-P series are available with form factors ranging from 200GB to 3.2TB, and the SATA 3TS9-P series are available from 400GB to 6.4TB. The NVMe Gen 4×4 4TS2-P series are available with storage capacities from 400GB to 6.4TB.
