This is part of Solutions Review\u2019s Premium Content Series, a collection of contributed columns written by industry experts in maturing software categories. In this submission, Phison<\/a> Product Manager Louis Liao offers SSD predictions for 2023 and beyond for enterprise organizations.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"SRAbout 15 years ago, enterprise solid-state drives (SSDs) began to be considered a separate category of drive compared to commercially available SSDs used by consumers. Today, the drives are becoming increasingly common in data centers and other enterprise applications across the world. In this article, we explore trends and industry advancements that will become more prevalent through the next several years.<\/p>\n

Security will continue to be a primary focus for enterprise data centers and infrastructure, including SSDs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cyber-attacks are consistently on the rise year over year, and 2023 will be no exception. Data security will remain a key priority for enterprises and their data centers. KPMG\u2019s 2022 Fraud Outlook report<\/a> found that 84 percent of survey respondents say their cyber risk will grow over the next year.<\/p>\n

SSDs are typically defended well enough by layered security in the operating system. However, it is possible that attackers could get to the data stored on the drive if they are able to break through defense-in-depth countermeasures. To strengthen the protection of their SSDs, the most security-conscious enterprise customers will increasingly look for drives that offer a variety of security features, from self-encryption<\/a> to secure erase<\/a> and sanitize capabilities.<\/p>\n

Another security capability on the rise is cryptographic device identity and attestation. Think of this as a cryptographically protected health check. It allows the SSD to perform an integrity verification on the firmware, hardware, and even important data on the drive. If anything changes, it is automatically detected and reported.<\/p>\n

Some drives even have their own built-in defense countermeasures<\/a> that can shut down automatically when they detect that they\u2019ve been moved or disconnected and when they identify suspicious access patterns. These self-defending SSDs have a CPU dedicated to security that runs its detection and defense programs. In addition to shutting down, the SSDs\u2019 defensive measures include alerting a support app, locking the drive with cryptographic keys, and erasing the drive completely.<\/p>\n

SSD Advance to Support High-Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The rising popularity of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) will drive increased demand for data storage (and therefore SSDs) that can deliver the high performance and low latency that support and enable complex high-capacity workloads. Enterprises will need SSDs that are ever faster, smarter, and denser for high-performance computing of all kinds. Both 32 TB and 64 TB SSDs are available now. Expect to see petabyte-scale SSDs starting at 128 TB in the near future.<\/p>\n

SSD manufacturers are exploring potential technological breakthroughs to meet those performance demands. Some of the newer technologies that will increasingly support SSDs and boost their reliability and performance, include:<\/p>\n
