ScaleFlux is addressing inefficiencies in AI data centers by re-engineering flash storage to boost performance, as announced in a press release. The company has developed custom SSD controllers with hardware-based data compression, which accelerates performance without overburdening main processors.

JB Baker, VP of Marketing and Product Management at ScaleFlux, highlighted the inefficiencies in AI data centers, where storage and memory often lag behind processing power. A significant portion of a data center's power is consumed by cooling, leading to underutilization of high-performance processors. ScaleFlux's solution allows their drives to perform tasks like compression at seven gigabytes per second, using significantly less power than traditional methods.

This innovation not only enhances performance but also translates into substantial cost savings for enterprises, both in terms of reduced operational costs and increased revenue potential.
