On June 5th, the AMD Industry Ecosystem Partner Conference was grandly opened in Beijing. As a strategic partner of AMD, XSKY showcased its comprehensive cooperation achievements: CEO Xu Xin delivered a keynote speech titled "Reconstructing Data Value through Hardware-Software Collaboration," officially launched a distributed storage solution and all-in-one products based on AMD EPYC, and joined AMD and other partners to jointly kick off a strategic cooperation ceremony. This industry event, integrating technological insights, product launches, and ecosystem building, marks the formal start of in-depth cooperation between the two parties in technological innovation and market expansion.
Behind the Strategic Cooperation: Resonance of Innovative Concepts
The strategic cooperation between XSKY and AMD stems from a deep consensus on "Data Defines the Future." As a globally leading semiconductor company, AMD, with its strong hardware innovation capabilities, has brought high - performance products such as EPYC processors and Pensando DPU to the data storage field. XSKY, a pioneer in software - defined storage, provides efficient support for data flow with its innovative technical architecture and intelligent scheduling capabilities. The cooperation between the two sides is not only a technical complement but also a high - level recognition of each other's innovative concepts. Based on the "complementary technological genes," they build a symbiotic system of "hardware innovation + software definition."
Combined Solutions and Products: Unleash the Value of Data
At this conference, XSKY officially released a distributed storage solution and an integrated delivery product based on AMD EPYC CPUs. These products have the following notable features and customer values:
1. Performance leap: Redefining the ceiling of storage performance
Low latency: The single - socket CPU architecture of AMD EPYC simplifies the communication overhead of multi - CPUs, effectively reducing storage latency, especially outstanding in the single - threaded scenario of the SMB protocol.
High throughput: With its high clock speed, multiple cores, large cache, and multiple lanes, storage performance is significantly improved to meet the extreme requirements of AI training, high-frequency trading, etc. For example, in the XFei all - flash distributed storage, with a total of 64C per single node, the performance can be increased by more than 40% when using a single - socket AMD EPYC CPU compared to a dual - socket CPU.
2. Cost optimization: Reducing the total cost of ownership
Optimized hardware cost: The single - socket architecture of AMD EPYC combined with XSKY's XSPEED architecture and data compression technology reduces the customer's total cost of ownership (TCO) by 50%, making high - end storage no longer a "luxury" but an inclusive technology solution.
Energy cost savings: The single - socket and low - power design of AMD EPYC complies with the trend of green energy conservation, reducing energy consumption and the enterprise's operating costs.
3. Deep adaptation: Providing a one-stop solution
Seamless docking of hardware and software: XSKY's software - defined storage products are deeply adapted to the AMD hardware platform, achieving seamless docking from hardware to software and providing customers with a one - stop storage solution.
Flexible configuration options: It supports a variety of hardware configurations to meet the needs of different scales and application scenarios, allowing customers to make flexible choices according to their own business needs.
Strong compatibility: It is deeply compatible with mainstream operating systems and application software, seamlessly integrating into the enterprise's existing IT architecture without additional adaptation costs.
4. Full process support from the joint laboratory
The joint laboratory established by XSKY and AMD has become an innovation engine for their cooperation, building a full - process innovation system of "incubation - verification - implementation". With a professional testing environment and strict standards, it conducts comprehensive and in - depth verification of the solution. It covers multi - dimensional tests such as performance, stability, and compatibility to ensure that the products can operate stably and perform excellently under different configurations and load conditions.
Currently, this solution has been successfully implemented in industries such as manufacturing and scientific research. With its excellent performance and reliable stability, it has won high recognition from customers.
Future Outlook: Jointly Create a Future of Data Intelligence
In the future, the cooperation between XSKY and AMD will become even deeper. Relying on the joint laboratory, both parties have formed a technical expert team to conduct customized joint development according to the scenario characteristics of different industries. Through this in-depth cooperation, XSKY and AMD will jointly explore more innovative application scenarios and provide customers with more accurate and efficient data storage solutions. The joint laboratory will focus on:
1. Technological innovation and optimization
Next - generation technology layout: Based on AMD's next - generation hardware platforms such as CPUs, GPUs, and DPUs, XSKY will continuously optimize the intelligent storage engine and promote the in - depth integration of distributed storage with AI training/inference.
2. Industry - specific customized development
Industry joint solution development: Thoroughly study the data storage needs of different industries. Combining AMD's hardware advantages with XSKY's software innovation capabilities, more storage solutions suitable for specific industries will be developed to improve the customer experience.
Conclusion
The cooperation between XSKY and AMD is not only a powerful alliance in technology but also an active exploration of the future of data storage. Through in-depth collaboration, the two parties will provide customers with more efficient, reliable and cost-effective data storage solutions, helping enterprises move forward steadily on the path of digital transformation.
As Xu Xin, CEO of XSKY, mentioned in his speech: "The in - depth collaboration between XSKY and AMD integrates hardware innovation with the advantages of software - defined capabilities, setting a new benchmark for high performance and high energy efficiency in the open mainstream x86 ecosystem. XSKY will always adhere to putting customer needs at the core and work hand in hand with industry partners including AMD to ensure that every technological breakthrough becomes an accelerator for customers' business success."
