For the first time ever, Phison US took part in the 50th edition of the IT Press Tour (ITPT)<\/a>. Attending media was enthusiastic in their curiosity and questioning of the \u201cdynamic<\/a>\u201d Phison team, who presented the company and its solutions in three separate sections: Phison\u2019s corporate history & business model, IMAGIN+ product\/services overview, and compelling use cases in automotive, industrial farming, and space exploration.<\/p>\n

A Silicon Valley institution, the IT Press Tour was established in 2010 to provide a platform for European and US journalists to meet with worldwide high-tech companies<\/a> to discuss various IT topics, covering IT infrastructure, data management, storage, business and IT applications, artificial intelligence, cyber and IT security. Media takeaways also included new videos with SSD provider and Phison partner Seagate<\/a> and space logistics provider Skycorp<\/a> highlighting the companies\u2019 work with Phison.<\/p>\n

Phison IMAGIN+. Data Engaged. <\/em><\/h3>\n

Among the journalists, there was intense interest in \u2018the largest SSD supplier you\u2019ve never heard of.\u2019<\/a> In discussing the corporate overview, the segment went very long as Michael fielded questions regarding the company\u2019s business model, its ubiquitous but under-the-radar industry presence, and curiosity around why Phison chose now to become more media-forward after more than 20 years in the space.<\/p>\n

In answering to questions around \u2018why now,\u2019 Phison US General Manager and President Michael Wu had a simple, powerful response: To increase visibility around the IMAGIN+ and the Design Services Lab and utilize media attention to build further trust among key enterprise players.<\/p>\n

ITPT media attendees were fully engaged and the discussion was incredibly lively. Here are some relevant quotes, links to awesome coverage, and more:<\/p>\n

As Phison is a design partner for the big SSD suppliers, it is among the first to get involved with new SSD technologies such as the latest layer count 3D NAND, QLC-format cells and PCIe interface generations.<\/em><\/p>\n

The <\/em>manufacturer<\/em><\/a> of the 8GB industrial-grade PSS4A111-8G uSSD that sits inside Perseverance said the rover uses the flash unit for its photo processing, storage and transmission system. The stakes are high: space is not a break-and-fix environment. If the SSD fails, then the rover’s imaging system stops working.<\/em><\/p>\n

Phison is working on the integration of PCIe 6.0 and CXL, which recently arrived in the latest servers using Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids and AMD Epyc Genoa chips. SSDs with a dual function PCIe, NVMe and CXL, for example, are under study. “NAND can thus be considered as DRAM, but with intelligence embedded in the SSD”, explained to us the CTO of Phison Sebastien Jean.<\/em><\/p>\n
