Innodisk Japan Corporation Company Overview

We have announced the high-speed 10GbE LAN series, a group of LAN modules built to meet the growing network demand for edge AI applications. Edge AI applications are increasingly reliant on real-time data exchange between sensors, edge servers, and endpoints, making network connectivity a crucial foundation for system performance. This series is available in both M.2 and PCIe form factors, achieving high throughput and low latency connections through DPDK, PTP, and SR-IOV, allowing for efficient handling of data-intensive workloads even in space-constrained environments.

Innodisk has announced the APEX series Edge AI system, which provides scalability and high performance for industrial and enterprise environments. By integrating hardware, software, and system design, the platform integration is simplified, allowing customers to focus on faster deployment and achieving business outcomes without being burdened by the complexity of infrastructure. One of the key features of the series is the APEX-A100, an advanced edge AI system designed for demanding industrial applications. ● Equipped with Qualcomm Dragonwin IQ9 series industrial processors ● Balances high performance and power efficiency ● Long industrial lifecycle Please continue reading.

Not all SSDs require onboard DRAM to achieve high performance. So, how do DRAM-less designs maintain responsiveness? The answer lies in Host Memory Buffer (HMB). By leveraging system memory via PCIe, HMB allows DRAM-less SSDs to cache critical metadata such as L2P mapping tables, significantly improving lookup speed and random read performance without increasing additional hardware costs or footprint. In embedded and industrial systems where space and component cost efficiency are crucial, HMB offers a smarter balance of performance and design flexibility.
