Collaboration delivers unmatched storage density for AI and hyperscale workloads

Phison Electronics is collaborating with Supermicro, a leading total IT solution provider for AI/ML, HPC, cloud, storage, and 5G/edge, to showcase one of the most advanced server solutions in the market. This partnership aims to satisfy the growing demand for high-density workloads. Through this collaboration, customers using Supermicro's Petascale Storage Family can employ Phison's high-capacity 122.88TB Pascari D205V SSD, featuring a unique E3.L form factor and Gen5 NVMe performance. The result is a purpose-built solution to redefine the possibilities of storage density, thermal efficiency, and scalability in enterprise infrastructure.

As enterprises tackle infrastructure shifts to support data-intensive workloads such as AI and machine learning training, real-time analytics, and cloud-scale storage, striking a balance between high-performance and scalable capacity is more vital than ever. Through this collaboration, the company will deliver storage solutions to support Supermicro's Petascale Storage with unmatched capacity per slot, permitting users to decrease total rack space, lower operational costs, and simplify infrastructure planning at scale, whether at the edge or in the data centre.

The E3.L form factor is part of the wider EDSFF family provided in the Pascari D-Series and is specifically engineered for high-density, high-performance environments and designed to be hot-pluggable and front-accessible. Compared to legacy U.2 and U.3 designs, E3.L offers a longer form factor, which unlocks double the capacity compared to E3.S, and improved airflow and thermal management, making it perfect for AI training clusters, hyperscale environments, and dense edge deployments where cooling and space are critical constraints.

"This innovative collaboration with Supermicro sets a precedent to keep pace with the increasing storage demands of tomorrow," said Michael Wu, GM and president at Phison US. "Customers can expect their storage solutions to have built-in scalability and cost optimising features from the drive to the rack architecture."
