Langchao Releases NVMe SSD Solid State Disk
Artificial Intelligence Leads Industrial Change, New Data Drives Storage Change
The development and application of artificial intelligence have promoted the transformation of the entire information industry and become the core driving force leading the fourth industrial revolution. For partners in different fields such as ISV and SI, the penetration of artificial intelligence in various industries brings both opportunities and challenges.
The penetration and application of artificial intelligence in various industries have led to the explosive growth of data sets, which are being stored at an unprecedented speed and manner. IDC believes that the global data circle will increase from 33ZB in 2018 to 175ZB in 2025. Among them, China's data circle has the fastest growth rate, with an average annual growth rate of 3% faster than that of the world. It is estimated that by 2025, the total number of China's data circles will increase to 48.6ZB, accounting for 27.8% of the global data circles. China will surpass the United States and become the largest data circle in the world at one stroke. Intelligentization and digitization are the driving forces behind the sharp increase in global data volume.
Therefore, how to process, analyze and use data becomes the key to affect the development of the industry. From a certain perspective, the application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence has pushed us into a new data era, in which data has become an important means of production and core asset for various industries. In the new data era, there are four major characteristics, namely, new data form, new deployment environment, new application mode and new value demand. According to these characteristics, effective and reasonable storage and utilization of data value will become the most effective way for enterprises to promote growth.
AARON Li, General Manager of Langchao Storage Product Line, said: "In the new data age, the industrial form and demand are continuously upgrading. Langchao Storage will work with partners to flexibly adapt to and meet the needs of the cloud environment, support and face the development of intelligent applications, as well as acquire the ability to share, manage and mine data value through storage platforms. With the concept of "using cloud storage and intelligence to operate new data" and the storage platform strategy, Langchao Storage will help enterprises to face the tide of the new data era and realize the leap in business quality and efficiency.
New Generation Full Flash Storage G5 and Self-developed NVMe SSD Solid State Disk Released
In the new data era, there are not only massive unstructured big data composed of a large number of videos, pictures and electronic documents, but also massive small data. These small data are primary small data from the database and secondary small data extracted from data mining, intelligent analysis, trading, decision-making and other application processes. The number of these small data amounts to billions or even billions, requiring tens of millions of read and write operations per second.
In order to help users better cope with the challenges of performance, reliability and flexibility brought by small data to storage, Langchao has upgraded all-flash storage products. The new generation of all-flash storage G5 released by this wave is a comprehensive breakthrough to the previous generation of products, including mid-range HF5000G5, mid-range and high-end HF6000G5, and high-end all-flash storage platform HF18000G5. In addition to the overall upgrade of the storage system, in-depth research and development work have also been done on the storage medium, and NVMe SSD solid state disk has been developed. The release of a series of products makes the product form of Langchao G5 storage platform more perfect, realizing full coverage of full flash storage from middle to high end and from storage system to storage core components.
Langchao self-developed NVMe SSD solid-state disk includes two specifications, high-performance version and standard version. the U.2 standard interface supports the latest version of NVMe1.3 protocol, adopts 64-layer /96-layer 3D eTLC NAND media, and can provide 2TB-32TB of different capacity specifications.
The new self-developed NVMe SSD solid state disk released this time has five industry-leading advantages. First, it has first-class performance in the industry, providing 3.5GB/3.3GB/s read-write bandwidth and 830k/320k IOPS, all reaching the industry-leading level. Secondly, on the same kind of media, the erasable times are increased by 40% through innovative algorithms, thus prolonging the service life of SSD hard disks by 40% and greatly saving the upgrading and maintenance costs of users when using SSD. Third, it has a leading ultra-low power consumption design, supports multi-gear intelligent power consumption control, and adjusts heat dissipation according to load and working temperature, so that SSD can work at a high temperature of 40 degrees to better meet the energy saving requirements of data centers. Fourthly, in terms of hardware and firmware, through modular and integrated architecture design, flexible customization can be carried out according to the requirements of user scenarios. Fifthly, this SSD achieves first-class security and reliability in the industry. It has the functions of power-down data protection, hot plug, end-to-end data protection, etc., and realizes data security and access security.

Langchao's new generation of all-flash storage G5 is targeted at small data applications for data center-level services. Its product line includes high-end all-flash storage platform HF18000G5, medium and high-end HF6000G5 and medium-end HF5000G5. The upgraded all-flash storage G5 can meet the storage requirements for small and medium-sized data applications in various industries such as finance, telecommunications, government, energy, manufacturing, transportation and education. Take HF18000G5, a high-end full flash storage platform, as an example. In architecture, HF18000G5 supports both NVMe and SAS protocols. On the one hand, it can help users to continue the past storage architecture, and on the other hand, it can help users to rapidly evolve to NVMe. On interconnection, the system interconnection architecture has been upgraded to PCI-e, which can support up to 48 controllers, reaching the industry-leading level. The performance can reach up to 15 million IOPS with an average delay of less than 0.2 ms. In addition, Langchao's new generation of all-flash storage G5 also has more abundant data center-level data and management functions, such as dual-live, two-location three-center, WAN acceleration and cloud gateway, which can enable users to obtain better data flow and better data efficiency on private cloud and hybrid cloud with two locations and three centers in the future.
Earlier in March, Langchao also released an ultra-large-scale data center-level distributed storage platform AS13000G5, creating platform features of extreme capacity, extreme performance, minimal architecture and easy management, and upgrading from "one set of architecture, four services" to "one set of architecture, 5+X dual platforms". In the software layer, AS13000G5 integrates 5 service protocols including file, object, block, HDFS, distributed database protocol and X integrated applications. The hardware layer integrates 5 hardware forms of rack, high density, cabinet, multi-node and edge and X hardware configurations to realize capacity expansion on demand, performance supply on demand and service definition on demand, to realize one storage platform operation and maintenance and one data center, to adapt to cloudy environment, and to help enterprises transform and upgrade.
AARON Li, general manager of Langchao Storage Product Line, said at the conference: "At present, Langchao Storage has completed the upgrading of mixed flash storage, full flash storage and distributed storage. Next, Langchao will unite with many partners to provide users with a storage platform that is suitable for cloudy environments, supports cloud computing and intelligent applications, and is flexible and flexible to deploy, helping users to better manage and use data and win the future."
