The Open Data Center Committee (referred to as ODCC), under the guidance of the China Communications Standards Association, follows the principles of openness, collaboration, innovation, and win-win results, aiming to create a dynamic, efficient, and internationally competitive ecosystem and open platform for sectors covering servers, data center facilities, networks, new technologies and testing, edge computing, and intelligent monitoring and management. The committee remains focused on promoting unified industry standards with global influence while facilitating industrial cooperation, technological innovation, and practical applications.
Recently, the ODCC 2024 Winter General Assembly successfully concluded in Kunming. As a new platinum supplier member of ODCC, BIWIN engaged in in-depth discussions with experts from various member organizations about the latest achievements and technical trends in data centers, jointly committed to building a more open data center platform. Especially, Jing Wei, Deputy General Manager of BIWIN (Beijing Branch), shared important project initiatives within ODCC, including "Requirement Analysis and Standardization of Storage Components for Edge Servers" and "Research and Testing of SMART Attributes for Storage Components," demonstrating the company's comprehensive deployment and research in enterprise storage technology.
01 Integrated R&D and Packaging Strategy: Building the Foundation of "Efficient Storage Power"
As artificial intelligence flourishes and AI large models accelerate their integration into various industry scenarios, the world is moving towards a brand-new "AI+" era. In this process, AI computing demands the coordinated development of computing power, storage power, and transmission power, with particularly higher requirements in data volume, transmission rates, and processing power, making storage power a key driver for AI applications.
Against this backdrop, BIWIN has accumulated core technical capabilities in storage media characteristics research, IC design, proprietary firmware algorithm development, hardware development, and packaging and testing. These strengths have been translated into acquisition of all-sided characteristics of NAND Flash and DRAM, making it capable of providing customized storage solutions that match the actual storage requirements of different industries and application scenarios. Additionally, BIWIN's self-owned advanced testing and manufacturing base has realized deep integration of critical systems, such as product lifecycle management, product design and development, quality management, production information management, and delivery systems, to achieve full-process traceability management from storage chips to module products, ensuring efficient production and high-quality delivery of enterprise-grade storage products while building "efficient storage power."
02 Enterprise-Grade SSD+RDIMM Product Matrix: Empowering Efficient Storage Requirements for AI Applications
Bolstered by comprehensive technical strength and advanced packaging/testing and manufacturing capabilities developed over the long term, BIWIN has built a rich and complete enterprise-grade SSD+RDIMM product lineup which includes high-performance enterprise-grade PCIe 4.0/5.0 NVMe SSDs, SATA SSDs, DDR5/DDR4 RDIMMs, and CXL 2.0 memory expansion modules. The product series combines several qualities of high throughput, high IOPS, low latency, excellent QoS characteristics, high density, and cost-effectiveness, as well as achieving wide compatibility with major server systems, namely Intel, AMD, Kunpeng, Hygon, Loongson, Phytium, Zhaoxin, and Sunway, capable of adapting to various enterprise-grade read-write intensive and mixed application scenarios. These products meet the demands of cloud computing and large-scale data centers for high-speed data transmission, quick response, and efficient analysis, covering AI applications across various industry business scenarios. The products' performance and quality have gained widespread recognition from industry clients and the market; notably, BIWIN enterprise-grade PCIe 5.0 SSD (SP506/516 series) won the "2024 Enterprise SSD Product Gold Award" at the DOIT AWARD 2024.
Looking ahead, BIWIN will take an active role in the planning of data center industry development and the formulating of related standardization initiatives, while joining hands with ODCC ecosystem partners to promote product cross-certification and technical standards compatibility. Meanwhile, the company will continue to consolidate its "Integrated R&D and Packaging 2.0 strategy" to continuously optimize product innovation, quality assurance, and customer service, thereby providing more advanced enterprise-grade storage solutions to empower the efficient development of the data center industry ecosystem and the flourishing of AI+ era.
