The storage landscape is rapidly evolving, led by advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC). These applications generate massive amounts of data that must be instantaneously processed, stored and analyzed in real time.

Networking devices provide an essential role in facilitating communication between computers and internet networks.

Servers are challenged to process more intricate and diverse types of workloads in cloud, hybrid-cloud and enterprise data centers.

Introduction

For nearly three decades, PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology has served as the de facto high bandwidth, low latency interconnect. As the industry evolves to meet the needs of data-intensive applications, the PCIe specification has kept pace, enabling future innovation.

We are pleased to commence 2022 on a high note with the official release of the PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0 specification to members.

PCI-SIG^® has shifted to virtual events for the 2020 calendar year and our first major members event was the Virtual PCI-SIG Developers Conference.

Earlier this month, I attended another eventful Flash Memory Summit (FMS) and I am pleased to say that PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) was around every corner at this year’s event.
