Swissbit Storage Solutions for Data Centers, Enterprise and Edge Servers

The evolution of servers and data centers has fundamentally changed the way businesses operate. As efficiency and data processing capabilities increase, the need for reliable and robust data storage solutions is also growing. In my new article, I discuss the challenges companies face and how Swissbit provides the ideal support with innovative storage solutions tailored for data centers, enterprise solutions and edge servers.

Introduction

Storage is an essential component in servers that affects performance and reliability. Well-thought-out component selection can enable systems to manage larger data loads, extend product lifespans and enhance power efficiency—ultimately helping lower operating costs. From large-scale data centers to smaller enterprise server rooms and remote edge locations, the lines between application-specific servers are fading and reshaping the balance of storage and computing resources. Navigating this shift is the essential challenge for many companies and a deep understanding of the applications and potential storage module is vital. As applications demand higher efficiency and greater data processing capabilities, Swissbit provides a range of storage solutions—from high-performance SSDs to sturdy and reliable SATA modules —engineered to meet the unique needs of server and edge environments.

Swissbit’s Data Center Storage Solutions
Modern data center environments face growing challenges driven by explosive data growth, the rise of AI workloads, and the need for real-time responsiveness. These demands place intense pressure on storage modules to deliver not only high performance and low latency but also robust reliability, security, and energy efficiency. To meet these evolving requirements, Swissbit introduces the PCIe Gen5 D2200 series—a next-generation storage solution engineered for enterprise servers, data centers, and AI applications.

D2200 Series
For enterprise and data center storage, as well as AI applications, the D2200 is the best choice. Launched last year, the PCIe Gen5 D2200 series offers exceptional 4K random read/write performance, a significant sequential read/write speed improvement to 14Gb/s and 10Gb/s and reduced read/write latency to ensure consistent QoS and smooth operation for latency-sensitive applications.

Comprehensive data protection features, including TCG Opal 2.0, ensure that data is securely encrypted and protected from unauthorized access, which is critical to maintaining data integrity and confidentiality. By supporting the latest NVMe 2.0 and OCP 2.0 standards, the D2200 Series ensures compatibility with future technologies and industry trends. Finally, the D2200 is energy efficient. It delivers high performance with reduced power consumption and runs up to 15-20°C cooler than competitive drives

Key Benefits
✔ Exceptional Performance – Delivers high-speed 4K random and sequential read/write (up to 14GB/s read, 10GB/s write) with low latency for consistent QoS in demanding applications.
✔ Robust Data Security – Features TCG Opal 2.0 encryption to protect data integrity and prevent unauthorized access.
✔ Future-Ready Standards – Supports NVMe 2.0 and OCP 2.0 for seamless compatibility with evolving enterprise and AI infrastructure.
✔ Energy Efficiency – Offers powerful performance with lower power usage, running 15–20°C cooler than competing solutions

Even in high-performance data centers, reliable boot drives are essential for initializing systems, managing firmware, and supporting critical OS functions. However, as rack space is at a premium, compact, space-saving storage modules are crucial to maximize density and maintain efficient infrastructure design.

N2000 Series – Space saver for Boot Drives
To optimize space in a high-density 1U server, a leading server manufacturer sought an ultra-compact boot drive solution - where every millimeter of board real estate was critical. The Swissbit N2000 M.2 2230 NVMe SSD met this requirement with its small footprint, enabling vertical mounting and freeing up valuable space for key components such as processors, memory modules, and thermal management systems.

Why did they choose Swissbit N2000?
✔ Smallest form factor
✔ Industrial grade reliability
✔ Sustaining high read & write performance
✔ Optimized power consumption
✔ Stable supply and longevity support

For boot drives in data centers, Swissbit's N3000 and A1200 series discussed below also offer compelling solutions.

Data Center vs. Enterprise
While data centers require storage solutions that handle vast amounts of data at scale, emphasizing high capacity, low latency, fault tolerance, and continuous uptime, enterprise applications focus on performance, security, and data integrity, typically supporting specific business functions with more targeted, reliable storage needs in a contained environment.

Depending on the specific demands, Swissbit’s D2200 and A1200 are ideal modules to consider for enterprise applications. The D2200 excels in high-capacity, low-latency environments, making it perfect for data centers, AI applications, and scenarios requiring fast sequential speeds.

In contrast, the A1200 with its 8-channel PCIe architecture delivers top-tier sustained performance and ultra-low latency when supported by proper cooling making it an excellent choice for high-performance applications that require maximum throughput.

Swissbit’s Storage Solutions for Edge Servers
Edge servers require storage solutions that balance performance with low power consumption, as they often operate in remote or constrained environments. These servers must handle real-time data processing with low latency, while also supporting limited physical space and network bandwidth. As such, storage needs focus on compact, energy-efficient solutions with fast read/write speeds, reliability, and the ability to scale based on local data processing demands.

Swissbit’s N3000 and A1200 SSDs are both excellent choices for edge server deployments, each optimized for different performance and environmental demands. The N3000 is ideal for edge environments that require reliable OS boot functionality, low power consumption, and stable performance even under tight power constraints in high-temperature or airflow-limited conditions. With its 4-channel architecture, it offers consistent sustained performance and enhanced data protection features like secure boot, encryption, power-fail protection, and remote management, making it perfect for mission-critical systems in industrial and embedded applications.

On the other hand, the A1200, featuring an 8-channel PCIe architecture, is designed for edge use cases that demand maximum throughput and ultra-low latency. When supported by proper cooling measures such as adequate airflow or heatsinks, it delivers top tier sustained performance, making it the right choice for high-performance edge applications such as AI inference, real-time analytics, or video processing at the edge.
