SAN JOSE, Calif.--()--At Flash Memory Summit 2015, Samsung Semiconductor will discuss the latest in its 3D V-NAND and other TCO-optimized NAND-based flash technologies to enable more responsiveness in handling increasingly large data center workloads during a keynote at noon on Tuesday, August 11th in the Mission City Ballroom, Santa Clara Convention Center.

The keynote entitled “Memory Technology Advances Shape a New Era in Flash Innovation,” is being presented by Bob Brennan, Senior Vice President, Memory Solutions Lab, and Jim Elliott, Corporate Vice President, Memory Marketing at Samsung Semiconductor, Inc.

“We are in an age of massive storage. This means instant connectivity, instant data access and instant relevance for electronic information sharing. Data centers with flash-optimized storage are beginning to move toward substantially greater use of real-time analysis to make informed decisions as the era of the Internet of Things evolves,” said co-presenter, Jim Elliott.

In the keynote, Samsung will highlight milestones that have been achieved with solid state drives over the past year, especially through the use of 3D V-NAND and the increasingly widespread adoption of 3-bit MLC and NVMe technologies. The executives will further discuss progress being made in readying SSDs to perform workload management and bringing higher bandwidth to all-flash arrays.
