SAMSUNG INTRODUCES NEW FLASH TECHNOLOGIES TO
ADDRESS GROWING REQUIREMENTS OF STORAGE SYSTEMS
Samsung Electronics has introduced a blueprint for next generation
flash memory solutions that will meet the ever increasing demands of
Big Data networks, cloud computing and real time analysis.
At Flash Memory Summit 2016, held in the Santa Clara (CA)
Convention Center, Samsung showcased its fourth generation
vertical NAND (V-NAND) and a line-up of high performance,
high capacity solid state drives (SSDs) available for its enterprise
customers as well as Z-SSD, a new solution providing breakthrough
performance for flash based storage.
Samsung’s new flash storage devices are expected to contribute
significantly to the global IT industry in meeting the growing storage
requirements of today’s enterprise computing environment. These
solutions will accommodate enormous amounts of data, and
extremely high speed information processing, while enhancing the
total cost of ownership (TCO) for data centres.
Samsung plans to provide the fourth generation V-NAND
flash memory products in the fourth quarter of this year, which will
help manufacturers to produce faster, more stylish and portable
computing devices, while offering consumers a more responsive
computing environment.

Schneider Electric upgrades energy management software
Schneider Electric has announced upgrades to its Power Monitoring Expert software.
Power Monitoring Expert version 8.1 is a complete supervisory software package for power management applications. The software
collects and organises data gathered from the facility’s electrical network and presents it as meaningful, actionable information via an
intuitive web interface.
A significant feature of version 8.1 is Power Quality
Advisor. This is a module which allows facility managers
and energy managers to understand power quality impact
on production and the associated costs. Advanced
analytics automatically triages disturbances through an
easy to understand colour code. If the indicator is red, a
severe event has occurred that may impact production
or equipment. Yellow indicates a status is approaching
a threshold or limit. Green indicates that your power is
operating within an acceptable quality range.
Power Quality Advisor is able to be fully integrated with
the rest of the Schneider Electric metering range and is
available now.
