This article looks at recent announcements from OpenDrives on its software-defined storage solution, the release of 24G+ SAS with new HDD and SSD features and Micron’s latest data center PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSD, the 9550, that supports AI workloads.

A major computer architecture drive involves breaking up (or disaggregating) conventional servers from where everything used by the processers lives in the server box, to separating at least some of basic resources such as processing, digital storage and memory in pools outside of the individual servers. These component pools can then provide resources as needed for particular processes using software (hence, this is called composable infrastructure). These processes can run in virtual machines or containers. This disaggregation, pooling and composable infrastructure allows rapid allocation of computing resources as needed resulting in less stranded resources and more efficient resource utilization.
