Kingston Digital, Inc.<\/span><\/a>, the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the\u00a0SSDNow\u00a0<\/i>E50<\/a>, the company\u2019s latest enterprise-class solid-state drive (SSD). SSDNow<\/i>\u00a0E50 enables performance-focused organizations that do not have heavy endurance needs to obtain the same enterprise-level performance as Kingston\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>SSDNow<\/i>\u00a0E100<\/span><\/a>\u00a0but at a more cost-effective price point. A leader in memory solutions since 1987, Kingston\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0will exhibit atVMworld<\/a>\u00a0(Booth\u00a01647) to showcase the new drive.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

SSDNow<\/i>\u00a0E50 allows companies to take advantage of enterprise-level SSD performance for tasks such as data caching, frequently accessed data within applications, online transactional processing and virtualization performance. SSDNow<\/i>\u00a0E50 helps alleviate I\/O latencies and server bottlenecks by providing greater IOPS and higher bandwidth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

SSDNow<\/i>\u00a0E50 features advanced data integrity protection via DuraWrite\u2122 technology that extends the life of the SSD by effectively and efficiently reducing the number of Flash writes via an intelligent compression engine without sacrificing data integrity. RAISE\u2122 reduces the number of uncorrectable errors in the drive, over and above standard error code correction. SSDNow<\/i>\u00a0E50 surpasses competitive market offerings with its robust intelligent power failure protection to prevent data loss in the event of a power outage or interruption.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe found that there was a demand within our customer base and partner community for an SSD that offers enterprise-strength reliability and superior features but with lower endurance capabilities and associated costs,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>said Ariel Perez, SSD business manager, Kingston. \u201cBased on this feedback, we developed SSDNow<\/i>\u00a0E50 and are pleased to further expand Kingston\u2019s SSD family to support the evolving needs of our customers and partners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
