Making an Impact on AI Applications: KIOXIA at NVIDIA GTC

Last month, KIOXIA exhibited at our very first NVIDIA GTC, the premier AI and accelerated computing conference, where we highlighted the critical role of high-performance storage in AI solutions – including its ability to scale these applications up and out. The show took over downtown San Jose, with the SAP Center hosting the keynote and the McEnery Convention Center buzzing with industry leaders, researchers, and technology enthusiasts. With nearly 30,000 attendees, the show floor was packed from beginning to end - and so was our booth! We’re proud to say that KIOXIA’s showcase and demos were all really well attended.

GTC was a non-stop exchange of ideas and innovation—and AI, and the solutions that help scale this exciting technology, was at the heart of it all.

Stealing the Spotlight: LC9 SSDs Debut
Our newly launched KIOXIA LC9 SSDs  were showcased at our booth, and this live demo was well received by attendees. From powering vector databases to enabling faster model training and inference, KIOXIA LC9 SSDs are designed to support AI workloads at scale. Customers and press alike took notice, engaging with our experts to understand how these SSDs can help unlock new efficiencies in AI infrastructure.

Tackling AI’s Growing Data Demands
Our own Rory Bolt, Sr. Fellow at KIOXIA America, took the stage at an expo hall theater session to discuss how the demand Generative AI systems place on compute, memory, and storage resources is raising the cost of DRAM – and what KIOXIA is doing about it.

In his session, “Improve Vector DB Performance While Reducing DRAM Use in AI Systems,” Rory detailed how KIOXIA has developed a method to scale vector databases while reducing DRAM dependency and costs. By leveraging flash memory and open-source software, KIOXIA provides a more efficient and cost-effective approach to managing the increasing data demands of AI workloads.
