In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, data storage has transformed its role from a mere information carriers to a core engine driving the future of the intelligent world. In August 2024, the global storage industry's spotlight converges on Santa Clara, California, USA, where the prestigious FMS2024 (The Future of Memory and Storage) global summit unfolds. As a leading Chinese storage controller chip manufacturer, YEESTOR Microelectronics Co., Ltd. (YEESTOR) dazzles the event with its cutting-edge technologies and innovative products, delving into the future direction of storage technology with global peers and highlighting its profound expertise and forward-thinking strategies in storage control, compute-in-storage and storage-compute interconnection.

In the AI Era, New Approaches to Overcoming the "Storage Wall"

As an active advocate of CXL SSD technology, YEESTOR is developing its new CXL series solutions. The revolutionary CXL technology significantly shortens the distance between storage and computing resources, enabling an unprecedented tight coupling that places storage resources adjacent to CPUs, thereby eradicating latency barriers across memory layers.

This breakthrough feature opens up new possibilities for SSD applications. Empowered by the "near-memory" architecture, a more cost-effective storage medium is used while still ensuring high performance. Through refined resource allocation and layer design, YEESTOR's CXL series solutions will spearhead the market, ushering in a new era of cost-effective storage excellence.
