Case Study: RIKEN SPring-8 achieves reliable high-speed storage for breakthrough research with Pliops XDP-RAIDplus

Riken SPring-8 captures 5328x4608 images at 73 fps with Pliops

RIKEN SPring-8, a state-of-the-art science technology center in Japan, faced a storage constraint that prevented it from utilizing higher-resolution X-ray cameras. The increased data bandwidth and size from the cameras caused frames to be dropped, hindering their groundbreaking research. They needed a high-capacity storage solution with consistent high-speed write performance, low power utilization, and data protection, which led them to partner with Pliops.

Pliops implemented its XDP-RAIDplus solution with Solidigm NVMe QLC SSDs. This enabled RIKEN SPring-8 to significantly increase its camera capture resolution and frame rate to 5328 x 4608 at 73 fps, the heaviest capture bandwidth of the camera, without dropping any frames. The solution from Pliops provided the reliable, high-speed storage necessary to store all the captured image data, allowing for more accurate tomographic image analysis.
