Huawei has a brand new storage solution for data centers called the eKitStor Xtreme 116P. It’s a 62TB U.2 PCIe 5.0 QLC SSD that boasts some seriously impressive specs.
The 116P is built around the U.2 form factor which is a 2.5-inch drive design commonly used in enterprise servers and data centers. This allows for high-density storage in a relatively compact space.
It leverages the PCIe 5.0 interface, the latest generation of the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express standard, which offers significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to PCIe 4.0. Huawei claims the 116P can achieve sequential read speeds of up to 13.5GB/s.
Huawei is positioning the 116P as a replacement for traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) in all-flash storage arrays and is promising a 2.4x performance improvement, double the capacity, and a 50% space saving at the same total cost of ownership (TCO).
Moving on, Huawei says the 116P is the “world’s first” U.2 PCIe 5.0 QLC SSD, but it’s not actually alone in the space. SK Hynix’s Solidigm brand launched the PS1012 U.2 SSD late last year with PCIe 5.0 and QLC NAND and a max capacity of 61TB. It now directly competes with Huawei’s new entry.
Huawei Shield 200 and OceanStor Dorado 2020
Aside from the 116P, Huawei has unveiled two more storage products. The first is eKitStor Sheild 200, a rugged, high-protection mobile SSD built for on-the-go professionals, photographers, and home data backups. It features an aviation-grade aluminum chassis, military-grade durability, and sequential read speeds up to 2,000MB/s.
And for small and medium-sized businesses, Huawei announced the OceanStor Dorado 2020. It’s an all-flash storage array designed for demanding applications.
Huawei claims it delivers 20-80x better performance than similarly priced hybrid flash storage while being 30% efficient and 99.9999% reliable. It can be deployed within 30 minutes and is said to be useful for ERP or smart healthcare systems.
