PostgreSQL (with the pgvector extension) and vector databases are becoming more important than ever in generative AI and RAG (recovery-enhanced generation) systems, and these results demonstrate the performance gains using Xinnor's xiRAID Opus solution and KIOXIA's PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD for a generative AI and RAG application.
New servers with PCIe 5.0 interfaces and corresponding high-speed SSDs are in high demand for high-performance applications such as generative AI, and the importance of PCIe 5.0-compatible SSDs to meet this demand is growing. KIOXIA and Xinnor's high-performance software RAID solution maximizes the performance of PCIe 5.0 SSDs for AI, machine learning (ML), and data analytics applications in on-premises enterprise data centers. KIOXIA's CM7 series SSDs successfully completed compatibility testing conducted by both parties.

The success of next-generation data center infrastructures depends on ecosystem collaboration and rigorous interoperability testing to ensure that current and future products and technologies work together effectively. As a leader in enterprise-class SSD technology for data centers, KIOXIA is committed to driving the industry forward with innovative memory solutions that power the next wave of applications and services. KIOXIA will continue to contribute to the PCIe 5.0 ecosystem and maximize the value of high-performance PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs.
