According to the top ten Taiwan ICT market trend predictions of 2013 published by IDC, as reaction to the uncertainty of prosperity in the next year, the enterprises will continuously increase IT budget and expenditure with primary growth power from cloud computing, mobility and the market driven by massive data, and expects a robust growth of 3.9%. To respond to these trends and needs, the storage devices will definitely continue to develop toward energy-saving, high efficiency and compactness. Therefore, Apacer correspondingly launches three SATA 3.0 SuperSpeed transmission interface SSDs, including 2.5-inch SFD 25S-M, MO-297-compliant SFD 18S5-M and mSATA S1-M designed in compliance with MO-300, respectively applicable for cloud data center, various servers, embedded system, and compact Ultrabook and Networking devices, which meet different needs for cloud, massiveness and mobility.
The SATA 3.0 hyper-speed transmission interface SSDs launched by Apacer deliver a bandwidth of 6.0 Gb/s, upgraded from the original 3.0 Gb/s, achieving double transmission capacity. By fully adopting the latest SF-2281 B02 control chips of SandForce, it also boasts the super-speed transmission efficiency, a maximum sequential read/write speed of 555/550 MB/sec and IOPs up to 60K, making it as efficient as RAID consisting of nearly a hundred of mechanical hard drives and easily solving the bottleneck facing mechanical hard drives at the moment. Besides, with significantly increased transmission speed and read/write efficiency, the power consumption is actually reduced by more than 50% compared with the previous generation of SF-2281 B01 control chip. Furthermore, in order to improve the data reliability, these three products are all equipped with 55bit ECC (Error Correcting Code) function, S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), ATA Secure Erase, Windows 7 TRIM command for optimization and AES 128bit encryption mechanism for data protection which improves data security.

In advance of the Open Compute Summit today, Fusion-io announced its newest product line, Fusion ioScale. Previously exclusive to Fusion-io customers outfitting thousands of servers, ioScale is now available for hyperscale and cloud companies in minimum order quantities of only one hundred units. Each ioScale provides up to 3.2 terabytes of reliable Fusion ioMemory capacity that is performance tuned for the unique needs of webscale environments. With prices starting at $3.89 USD per gigabyte with increasing discounts based on volume, ioScale now makes it practical to architect an all-flash datacenter at scale.
"By making ioScale available to growing webscale and emerging cloud companies, Fusion-io is at the forefront of the transition to the all-flash hyperscale datacenter, powered by open software defined solutions," said David Flynn , Fusion-io CEO and Chairman. "Hyperscale companies are an entirely different market with different needs compared to enterprise organizations. Fusion ioScale has been specifically designed with the input of existing hyperscale market leaders to maximize the simplicity of the all-flash datacenter and meet the unique needs of webscale customers. Fusion-io is pleased to now be able to offer this technology to emerging market leaders to help them redefine what's possible when it comes to cost effectively delivering rich data services to millions of people around the world."
