Kioxia and Dell have jointly developed a compact 2-rack-unit server capable of storing 10 petabytes of data. The system represents a significant density increase for enterprise storage infrastructure.
The collaboration combines Dell's server expertise with Kioxia's storage technology to create a high-capacity solution in a minimal footprint. The 2RU form factor—roughly 3.5 inches in height—makes the system suitable for data centers with space constraints.
The 10PB capacity is achieved through advanced storage density optimization, leveraging Kioxia's semiconductor technology. This level of storage in such a compact chassis addresses growing demand from enterprises managing massive datasets for analytics, machine learning, and archival purposes.
The partnership demonstrates the industry trend toward consolidating storage infrastructure into smaller physical spaces while maintaining performance and reliability. Both companies aim to address data center operators seeking to maximize storage capacity without expanding facility footprints.
Details on pricing, availability, and specific configurations remain limited in early announcements. The development signals competitive pressure in the enterprise storage market as vendors push density boundaries.
Building data centers in space requires solving a critical engineering problem: how to cool servers without Earth's atmosphere. Current radiator technology used on the ISS is expensive and heavy, forcing startups to rethink thermal management from scratch.
Hugging Face has launched an open-source humanoid robot project featuring 3D-printable legs, targeting robotics researchers and builders. The platform aims to democratize bipedal robot development at an accessible price point.
Starlink has released its V5 residential dish, featuring a smaller form factor and improved energy efficiency. The update does not increase data speeds but addresses practical deployment concerns.
Samsung has unveiled Flex Titanium, a new foldable display technology designed to reduce creasing and improve durability. The technology will debut in the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 series.
