In today’s world -  Data is king 

Solid State Devices (SSDs) seemingly are the technology of choice for applications that need fast storage access - like NASA’s servers that need to sift through a large amount of data to search for new exo-planets, or a bank’s fraud protection software that needs to access data quickly to decide if the incoming credit-card transaction is genuine. At Smart IOPS, we accelerate data storage and analysis in an efficient and cost-effective manner

Designing and producing high-end enterprise class SSDs, we think of ourselves as the elite sports car company of the data storage industry. Our patented, novel TruRandom® technology enables a high number of random IO operations possible - to not only store terabytes of data, but do it with remarkably low IO latency (or delay). Our internal research shows that our technology can deliver superior latency with high random IO performance.

Why is random IO so important? When many isolated data accesses converge on a single storage node - like when many people simultaneously try to shop for different items - the data access pattern looks very random. 

If a storage device can deliver higher random read/write accesses while keeping the delays in check, the performance of the overall computing system improves.

IO accesses have been lagging

In the computer arena, the speed of Input/Output (IO) access to data storage  lagged, according to our research. Arguably too much focus has been given on CPU performance, however there are many applications whose performance are largely limited by slow IO accesses - such as databases, machine learning, data analytics, etc.

As a result, the current SSD products in the market result in a sub-par system, leaving much performance on the table.

This is why we are enabling improved product offerings for companies building solutions that require rapid and reliable access to data.

Focused on speed, consistency, and random IO accesses

We strive to deliver top-notch NVMe (Non Volatile Memory express, a fast PCIe based interface) SSD performance and enable our customers the power to transform their business with our Data Engine™ PCIe NVMe SSDs.

Our enterprise class SSDs are capable of pushing 1.7 million random read IOPS. Moreover, we plan to deliver our next generation SSD product in the future that should almost double the random read IO performance. Our random write IO performance of 600,000 is one of the best in the industry as far as we know. We think this puts our product on a whole other level. We are not aware of any product in the same class that can do this kind of IO performance and low latency in the market anywhere.

Smart IOPS wants to solve a wide range of storage performance challenges for our customers. Directly plugged into the motherboard PCIe slot - our Data Engine™ NVMe SSDs are backwards compatible, offer extremely high performance per square inch and deployed in high-end enterprise grade servers with PCIe slots.

To put that into perspective, for this level of performance, data centers and enterprises would spend a fortune on storage arrays and high-performance computing servers to enable faster data storage and analysis, according to our research. Our Data Engine™ SSDs enable better performance in a cost-effective manner with a much smaller footprint.

Our Unobtanium™ FN Storage Class memory is a card that comes in 800 GB, 1.6 TB, and 3.2 TB capacities. This drive is categorized as storage class memory - thanks to its incredibly low latency - making the drive absolutely top notch in our view. 

Furthermore, we are planning in our roadmap to introduce a new category of high-end SSD geared towards the media & entertainment and high-end gaming market. Stay tuned for the announcement.

We have a business model similar to other major data storage companies, however, what makes us unique is our proprietary controller technology and our highly fine-tuned firmware that enables higher performance, better quality, and greater ROI in our view.

We believe our truRandom® technology takes Smart IOPS’ SSDs to even higher peaks of performance. It reduces input/output access latency and increases the number of random input/output operations of the data storage drives.

The truRandom® technology comprises a full turn-key solution from the ground-up including robust printed circuit board (PCB) and thermal heat-sinks, our proprietary high performance controller, a highly fine tuned firmware, and the associated drivers.

We have 16 patents granted and several more in the pipeline. Our company continues to innovate with the goal of bringing better storage products to the market in terms of quality and performance.

Storage market is forecasted to grow for the next several years

The data storage demand is on a massive rise over the past few years, which is expected to witness an increasing trend over the forecast period as well. The SSD market was valued at $34.86 billion in 2020, expecting to hit $90.10 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 17.2% (source).

Not to mention, the global Enterprise SSD market size was valued at $17.85 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $46.89 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 10.2% (source).

We address quite a few markets, which makes sense when it comes to our revenue thus far.

We think we stand out in the market because of our focus on the high-end data storage market segment - think back to us as the elite sports car of storage. Because this segment seemingly poses a high barrier to entry for competition, it has the potential to command higher margins. 

According to our research, most SSD vendors happen to also be NAND chip manufacturers, so naturally, their goal is to sell more NAND devices. Unlike them, we believe Smart IOPS solves a wider array of performance challenges.

That means…

• Our truRandom® technology offers uncompromising quality and performance
• Our SSD products are painstakingly fine-tuned for enterprise applications like databases
• Our storage modules are free to use best NAND ICs
• We are passionate about delivering the winning products

Growing list of marquee customers and partners

Smart IOPS started generating revenue in 2021, and our products have been purchased by large companies and organizations like NASA, Oakridge National Lab, Verizon Media, The Trade Desk, Threat Matrix (part of LexisNexis), among others.

Our drive performance is vetted by a 3rd party database company called Aerospike. They found our drive to be the best performing in its class. The independent evaluation conducted by the Aerospike team demonstrated that our drives yielded the highest performance in terms of number of transactions per second (TPS) while serving low latency (source).

We are qualified on AutoDesk Flame software used for media and entertainment graphics editing as a stand-alone SSD product due to our quality and performance (source).

Over the course of many years we have formed partnerships across the globe with key distributors, manufacturers, component suppliers, and sales partners. There is also a lot of work done to develop equipment and software automation for QA and validation of our products prior to shipping. We are committed to maintaining and improving our operational excellence to supply high-quality products to our customers.  

We are mindful of the fact that quality sells. That’s why we specifically architected our storage controller for high random IO accesses coupled with a fine-tuned firmware. The result is our Data Engine™ series of SSD products that are currently selling. With this scalable design, we think we are well positioned to be one of the leaders in the market with potential to grow.

We go beyond vanilla when it comes to solid state drives – we go truRandom®.

Data is growing exponentially 

And with that, the need for storing, accessing, and analyzing the data in a meaningful way is also growing. We see ourselves becoming one of the pillars in the electronic data storage segment. Heading in that direction, we are working on a new paradigm called Storage Computing. To us, it’s the natural next phase, addressing any computation that utilizes large amounts of data that can’t easily be stored on a processor’s DRAM. 

We wish to bring to the enterprises and data-centers a cohesive and cost-effective infrastructure solution that is distributed, scalable, and integrated with data related compute needs. Our product is selling to a diverse and prominent customer base, and we believe we have the potential for growth. We not only want to help make better storage more accessible, but also hope to make good returns for our investors.
