Swissbit will debut at CloudFest 2023, showcasing its N4200 SSD series developed for data center application profiles. The U.3 N4200 SSD offers a constant write speed that is two to five times higher than standard data centre SSDs and can maintain consistently low latency and high endurance over the SSD’s entire service life. Swissbit takes a new approach with the N4200, offering workload-specific firmware configurations to match performance and endurance to the real-world workload of a customer application.

Customers can choose from predefined workload clusters, including big data, video streaming, or machine learning, in addition to the default configuration. The N4200 has the ability to measure its workload during operation, which Swissbit uses as a starting point to offer an additional option in the form of a workload analysis.

Swissbit developed this solution specifically to handle complex cloud applications, achieving the industry’s most stable throughput and lowest latency under real-world customer workloads, without any host modifications. The N4200 is available with storage capacities of 7.68 TB and 15.4 TB. Visitors can learn more about Swissbit’s solutions for data center applications during CloudFest, where the company will hold a demo and breakout session.
