Data center solutions specialist FADU is accelerating its push into the AI data center market.
FADU said on the 17th that it took part in the Open Compute Project Global Summit (OCP), held at the San Jose Convention Center in California from the 13th to the 16th (local time), and showcased next-generation SSD technology optimized for AI data centers.
The OCP Summit is the world's largest open data center technology event, joined by global big tech companies such as Meta, Microsoft, and Google, and major suppliers including AMD and NVIDIA. At this event, FADU exhibited the next-generation modular storage server platform "Yosemite V5," designed by Meta, alongside its own next-generation SSD standard "E2SSD."
It also partnered with Taiwan-based SSD maker ADATA and server company GigaComputing to jointly unveil a server system equipped with SSDs based on a FADU controller. ADATA's "TRUSTA T7P5 PCIe 5.0 SSD," built on FADU technology, demonstrated high performance and power efficiency on the GigaComputing platform. FADU plans to leverage this to further strengthen its foothold within the Taiwan AI server ecosystem.
FADU unveiled newly developed SSD features in demo form, disclosing technologies that improve operational visibility, power efficiency, and responsiveness. A representative feature, "Self Power Monitoring," is one of the next-generation SSD standard technologies proposed by Meta, in which the SSD itself logs average power, cumulative usage, and power patterns and sends an immediate alert when it detects anomalies.
This eliminates the need for separate power measurement equipment in server design and allows hardware to be optimized to each SSD's individual power consumption. Corporations can reduce capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx), and significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for data centers through early anomaly detection.
On the 16th, the final day of the event, Young Paik, vice president of FADU's U.S. unit, gave a presentation on the theme "Forecasting the future through PCIe Gen6 SSD simulation." He outlined data center changes driven by the next-generation PCIe transition, expected performance of Gen6 SSDs, and system technology points, presenting a direction for the evolution of AI infrastructure.
FADU CEO Lee Ji-hyo said, "AI data centers are becoming a core infrastructure of future society, and FADU is solidifying its position within the ecosystem through collaboration with global partners," adding, "With continuous technological innovation, we will grow into a corporations that leads the future of data centers."
