SK hynix presents next-generation NAND storage product strategy at OCP 2025

SK hynix Inc. presented its next-generation NAND storage product strategy during the 2025 OCP (Open Compute Project) Global Summit in San Jose, California, held from October 13 to 16. The company introduced the 'Adaptive Inference Node (AIN) Family' of NAND solutions, designed to meet the increasing demand for efficient data processing in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) inference market.

The AIN Family consists of three product types: AIN P (Performance), AIN D (Density), and AIN B (Bandwidth), each tailored to specific operational requirements in AI systems. AIN P aims to minimize bottlenecks between storage and AI Operations (AIOps), enhancing processing speed and energy efficiency. AIN D focuses on high-density storage solutions, targeting a capacity increase to petabytes. AIN B leverages HBF™ technology to expand bandwidth through vertical stacking of NAND components.

Chun Sung Kim, Head of eSSD Product Development at SK hynix, showcased the AIN Family to address growing data volume from AI workloads. The company plans to collaborate closely with partners and customers to further develop its position in the NAND storage market. Following the summit, SK hynix hosted 'Host-Based Firewall (HBF) Night' with SanDisk to promote the HBF technology ecosystem, featuring discussions among industry experts on collaborative approaches in NAND storage innovation.
