TAIPEI and MILPITAS, Calif., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO) ("Silicon Motion"), a global leader in designing and marketing NAND flash controllers for solid-state storage devices, today announced it will showcase its MonTitan™ SM8366 PCIe Gen5 SSD controller solutions, demonstrated using the VAST Data Ceres V2 AI Storage platform and Aetina NVIDIA MGX™ server, at FMS (the Future of Memory and Storage) 2025 in Santa Clara, California, taking place August 5–7 in at booth #315. MonTitan™, together with other advanced storage solutions optimized for AI applications, underscores Silicon Motion's commitment to delivering next-generation scalability and performance for data-intensive workloads
Silicon Motion is collaborating with Unigen to demonstrate its Cheetah High Capacity 128TB QLC E1.L SSD and Cheetah 3.2TB SLC U.2 SSD powered by Silicon Motion's SM8366 to showcase an efficient and cost-effective storage solution by using VAST Data Ceres V2 Dbox platform. By leveraging NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs to accelerate networking and compute combined with its compact 1U form factor, CERES V2 delivers exceptional density for mission-critical AI deployments that demand scalability and throughput.
"We are pleased to work with Silicon Motion's MonTitan™ based SSDs that support the Ceres V2 architecture to meet the performance and density demands of AI and data-intensive workloads," said Avery Pham, VP of Strategic Operations, at VAST Data. "VAST is a Software Data platform utilizing bleeding edge hardware to enable software solutions. This demo illustrates how integrating powerful SSD technology with a disaggregated storage architecture like Ceres2 can help enterprises scale AI infrastructure more efficiently and intelligently."
Silicon Motion has also teamed up with Innodisk 5TS-P on an 8TB E1.S MonTitan™ based SSD by using Aetina's AEX-2UAI, high performance, short-depth edge server built on NVIDIA's MGX™ module design. This edge server brings powerful AI computing capabilities to edge environments and is particularly suitable for use cases demanding high performance in space-constrained settings.
"The integration of MonTitan™ based 5TS-P SSDs into our AEX-2UAI edge server reflects a shared vision to support powerful AI computing in compact, real-world deployments," said CC Wu, GM of Embedded Flash Division at Innodisk. "By combining high-density flash storage with MGX-based computing, we're expediting edge AI systems to perform faster and smarter in space optimized environments."
"Our MonTitan™ platform is purpose-built to address the extreme demands of AI server storage," said Alex Chou, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Storage and Display Interface Solutions Business at Silicon Motion. "Our collaborations with customers and module maker partners highlight our ability to deliver leading AI SSD solutions. We are thrilled to be part of the Core to Edge AI Ecosystems with VAST Data, Aetina and our other partners to deliver storage solutions that meet the ultra-high capacity and performance requirements of the next generation of AI applications for data centers and enterprise storage." |
