QCT Collaborates with Samsung and Intel to Lead Transition to PCIe Gen5 with Next-Generation Servers and SSDs
26.7.2022 06:51:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT), a global data center solution provider, today announced the world’s first validation of Samsung PM1743 PCIe Gen5 SSDs in their new all-flash NVMe™ servers powered by 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors will deliver substantial compute performance across traditional data center usages with unique purpose-built workload optimizations for today’s edge to cloud models. These technology updates in QCT’s growing line of QuantaGrid servers add additional performance for Samsung’s high-bandwidth flash storage due to the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors support of leading industry standard technologies such as DDR5, Intel® Optane™ persistent memory, and PCIe Gen5. Furthermore, these unique solutions provide flexibility for modern data center needs ranging from low latency applications to data processing, and hyper-converged infrastructures (HCI).

To accommodate the rapidly increasing performance requirements of data centers, PCIe Gen5 doubles IOPS per watt and throughput compared to the previous generation. Samsung’s PM1743 SSD for enterprise servers integrates the PCIe Gen5 interface with Samsung’s advanced sixth-generation V-NAND to deliver 30% enhanced power efficiency than the previous generation, resulting in lower server operating costs and increasing scalability for virtualized environments like HCI and software-defined storage.
With the evolution of data centers to the rapid growth of data and proliferation of applications that demand high performance, QCT’s upcoming QuantaGrid series offer flexibility for scaling out with Samsung’s new storage innovation. The QuantaGrid D54X-1U and D54Q-2U are designed for dual 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with 32 DDR5 DIMM slots and support for Intel Optane persistent memory, which provides affordable memory capacity expansion and support for data persistence. The two servers mainly differ in storage capacity and number of expansion slots that will be further revealed with the release of 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
“QCT worked closely with Samsung to test and be among the first to validate Samsung’s PM1743 PCIe Gen5 SSDs on our Intel powered systems,” said Mike Yang, President of QCT. “Together with Samsung, and Intel, our technology leadership will continue to drive new applications as we accelerate the growth of the server market and deliver unparalleled performance advantages for IOPS-intensive applications.”
"Samsung has been working closely with QCT and Intel to show PCIe Gen5 PM1743 SSDs provide optimized performance for all-flash NVMe workloads in their QuantaGrid 1U and 2U systems," said Yongcheol Bae, Executive Vice President of the Memory Application Engineering Team at Samsung Electronics. “Collectively, with the introduction of our PCIe Gen5 SSD, Intel’s 4th Gen Xeon Scalable processors, and QCT’s QuantaGrid server line we will further solidify our technological leadership in the enterprise server market.”
“Our goal is to deliver industry leadership to accelerate data center performance and user experiences with our upcoming 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors,” said Zane Ball, Intel Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Data Platforms Engineering and Architecture. “The collaboration with QCT and Samsung signifies Intel’s commitment to providing our customers with a multitude of ways to enhance their applications with high-speed NVMe SSDs that enable deployments from edge to cloud.”

Focused Support Launches Cavok STRIKE to Expand Link-16 Participation Across the Joint Force14.9.2026 08:00:00 EEST | Press release
Focused Support LLC today announced the launch of Cavok STRIKE, an integrated software capability that expands the Link-16 tactical battlespace picture by enabling additional operational platforms to participate in the Link-16 network. Modern battlefields have increasing numbers of unmanned systems, sensors, and supporting platforms operating throughout the joint battlespace. The rapid proliferation of Group 1, 2, and 3 UAS, including both expendable and recoverable systems, has created a growing need to integrate these assets into the broader tactical network. Many of these platforms provide operationally relevant information but have historically remained outside the Link-16 network due to limitations in size, weight, power, platform integration complexity, or acquisition cost. Cavok STRIKE addresses this gap by enabling platforms to participate in the Link-16 network as non-command-and-control participants. This allows those platforms to interoperate with traditional Link-16 platfor
Fujirebio Expands Access to Blood-based Neurology Testing in Brazil with ANVISA Market Authorization for Lumipulse® G NfL Blood and Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma14.9.2026 08:00:00 EEST | Press release
H.U. Group Holdings Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Fujirebio today announced that the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) has granted market authorization for the Lumipulse G NfL Blood and Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma assays for use on the fully automated LUMIPULSE® G immunoassay platform in Brazil. “ANVISA authorization of the Lumipulse G NfL Blood and Lumipulse G pTau 217 Plasma assays marks another important step in our mission to expand access to reliable, clinically meaningful blood-based biomarkers for clinicians and patients worldwide,” said Christiaan De Wilde, CEO of Fujirebio Europe N.V. “By making both neurological biomarker assays available to laboratories on a single, fully automated platform, we are helping support more informed clinical decision-making across a broad range of neurological conditions and throughout the diagnostic pathway.” The Brazilian ANVISA authorizations are based on the already CE marked in vitro diagnostics (IVD) approvals of these two
