QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading innovator in computing, networking, and storage solutions, today introduced the TS-h1077AFU, a compact 10-bay SATA-based all-flash NAS designed for businesses seeking fast, reliable, and cost-effective flash storage. Built on the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system, powered by AMD Ryzen™ PRO 7000 Series processors, and equipped with ECC DDR5 memory, the TS-h1077AFU delivers exceptional performance, data integrity, and deployment value. Engineered with speed, density, and reliability at its core, the TS-h1077AFU is ideal for virtualization, high-speed media workflows, database operations, and multi-site backup consolidation.

"Following the strong market reception of our 30-bay TS-h3077AFU, we developed the TS-h1077AFU to bring the same enterprise flash performance to a more compact and versatile form factor," said Alex Shih, Product Manager at QNAP. "This 10-bay model gives businesses greater flexibility when designing high-performance flash storage architectures, while retaining the reliability and data integrity that QuTS hero is known for."

As technology innovation accelerates both data creation and value, the need for scalable, efficient, high-performance storage solutions has never been greater. Today, Seagate Technology announced its next-generation Mozaic™ 4+ platform, the industry’s only heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR)–based storage platform deployed at-scale, is now qualified and in production with two leading hyperscale cloud providers. Supporting capacities up to 44TB, these qualifications reflect production-scale deployments in hyperscale environments.

With additional customer qualifications under way, Seagate is delivering on its roadmap to scale from today’s 4+TB per-disk toward a future 10TB per-disk – enabling hard drive capacities of up to 100TB. The platform incorporates a next-generation suspension architecture and an enhanced system-on-a-chip that enables precise recording at higher densities while maintaining enterprise-class reliability. Each platform generation allows continued gains in capacity without requiring disruptive architectural shifts.

"Data has become one of the most valuable assets for enterprises, fueling business insights, enhancing productivity, and enabling competitive advantage. As the foundation of modern data center infrastructure, data storage solutions are essential to manage ever-increasing data volumes and maximize returns on investments in today’s AI driven-world," said Dave Mosley, Seagate’s chair and chief executive officer. "Seagate’s HAMR-based Mozaic products deliver the scale, performance, and efficiency customers need to unlock the full potential of their data."

Micron Technology, Inc. today extended its leadership in low-power server memory by shipping customer samples of the industry’s highest-capacity LPDRAM module — 256GB SOCAMM2.
