Optimizing Data Center TCO | Startup Founders Take a Listen!

This presentation is about the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of data centers, specifically focusing on the cost comparison of using Solid State Drives (SSDs) and Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). The speaker, Manzur Rahman of Solidigm, emphasizes the importance of analyzing TCO in AI processing and data centers, as it incorporates direct costs like storage and energy and indirect costs such as maintenance and disposal.

The speaker then presents a model for calculating TCO, considering various factors like capacity utilization, replacement cycles, and data compression. Through a sensitivity analysis, the speaker demonstrates that high-density Quad Level Cell (QLC) SSDs can achieve a lower TCO than HDDs despite higher upfront costs, especially considering the long-term benefits of faster performance and increased efficiency. The speaker concludes that the future of data centers looks promising for high-density QLC SSDs due to their improved performance and TCO advantages.
