Kingston DCP1000 is the World’s Fastest SSD, Powered by PCIe and NVMe


The DCP 1000 is the world's fastest NVMe solution for data center environments. By partnering with Liqid, a startup based in Denver, Colorado that focuses on the data center space, they leveraged Liqid’s fabric technology and Kingston's NAND expertise to develop the world's fastest NVMe SSD. Liqid has aggregated multiple SSD controllers to deliver a very high performance, high capacity solution with an NVMe PCIe interface. Higher performance levels mean less hardware is deployed into the data center, almost doubling the amount of work possible per server. The impact on business resources such as capital acquisition cost, power, cooling, and administrative cost is significant. Applications like AI, VR, and software-defined storage can get benefit from this next level of performance made possible by NVMe. The future of data center storage will no longer be SSDs with hard drive interfaces. NVMe will enable companies to gather data intelligence or perform data mining on their own servers faster, making it more meaningful and useful. Kingston has been in the computer industry for 30 years. They began with DRAM, entered the flash product market in 2001, and the SSD market in 2009. Kingston began producing and supplying some of the largest data centers in the world with memory and SSD products, and providing client system upgrades and vertical market applications. SSDs were originally built with hard drive interfaces because we needed them to look and feel like a hard drive. The industry knew that the hard drive interface was a performance bottleneck for NAND flash basis SSDs. A new interface for SSDs needed to be created. After 7 to 8 years the industry finally settled on an interface: the PCI Express Bus and a new storage driver called NVMe.
