SSDs operate the fastest when inside a computer. Micron’s new SolidScale storage system uproots SSDs from servers and pushes them into discrete boxes while reducing latency.
SolidScale is a top-of-the-rack storage system that will house many SSDs. It will connect to servers, memory, and other computing resources in a data center via gigabit ethernet, and will use the emerging NVMeoF (NVMe over Fabric) 1.0 protocol for data transfers.
