There is tension between a business’s need to maximize the value of AI across the organization and its need to drive down its energy consumption. On one side is the need for performance—powerful (and power-hungry) GPUs attached to highly performant storage. On the other side is a power budget that is expensive—in terms of carbon and datacenter footprint. Both sides contribute to significant financial costs.
While many datacenter professionals look to GPUs and CPUs as the key contributors, they often overlook the role of storage in this power consumption equation. This Moor Insights & Strategy (MI&S) pulse brief will explore this power challenge and how Solidigm’s new D5-P5336 SSD with a capacity of 122.88 TB helps datacenter operators solve for both performance and power consumption.
