ScaleFlux, Inc. is an American semiconductor vendor of NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) and CXL Memory Solutions. The headquarters are in Milpitas, California. From its creation in 2014, ScaleFlux launched several products including the CSS1000 series, CSD2000, CSD3000 and the CSD5000 family..[1]
Mission
editScaleFlux develops storage and memory technologies designed to help organizations manage and leverage data growth more effectively. The company focuses on reducing infrastructure complexity and improving the efficiency of transforming raw data into actionable information. Its approach centers on innovations in the "data pipeline", the end-to-end process by which data is generated, stored, transferred to memory and processors, processed into information, and ultimately stored and distributed.
Technology
editScaleFlux is a technology company that designs and develops advanced System-on-a-Chip (SoC) devices and accompanying software solutions aimed at optimizing data pipelines[2].
The company's products are engineered to improve bandwidth, capacity, security, processing capability, and efficiency within storage and memory subsystems. These enhancements contribute to performance gains and energy efficiency at multiple levels, including individual systems, server racks, and full-scale data centers. ScaleFlux solutions are deployed across various environments, ranging from centralized data centers to edge computing platforms[3]
The company’s initial SoC controllers for enterprise NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) integrated proprietary Write Reduction Technology (WRT) and advanced metadata management, resulting in what ScaleFlux termed the "Better SSD". WRT reduces drive write amplification and enhances overall system efficiency by offloading select storage processing tasks from the host CPU, thereby mitigating performance bottlenecks in server memory and compute workloads. This approach operates transparently to applications and system software, offering a streamlined method for optimizing data-intensive workloads.
The company has since expanded its portfolio to include additional NVMe SSD controller classes and Compute Express Link (CXL) memory controllers[4]. These newer products incorporate advanced Error Correction Code (ECC) technology to enhance reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) in memory and storage systems.
History: State of the SSD and chip market
editSince 2014, the SSD and chip market has undergone rapid transformation, with SSDs surpassing HDDs in unit shipments and NVMe becoming the dominant interface standard, supported by successive PCIe generations and the rise of CXL[5]. New enterprise form factors like EDSFF improved density and thermals, while NAND technology shifted from planar to 3D and expanded into 200+ layers, enabling higher capacities and faster I/O. Industry consolidation reshaped the supplier base, most notably Intel’s NAND exit and the rise of Solidigm[6], while Samsung, SK hynix, Micron, and Kioxia/Western Digital remained key players. Market cycles were defined by oversupply and corrections, but recent AI-driven demand has driven up enterprise SSD and NAND prices. QLC NAND adoption grew for high-capacity, read-intensive workloads, with ultra-high-density SSDs entering production. Standards bodies advanced Zoned Namespaces, NVMe-over-Fabrics, and computational storage specifications, while geopolitical pressures such as U.S. export restrictions on YMTC influenced supply dynamics. Overall, the market continues to evolve around performance, efficiency, and capacity to meet the needs of data-intensive and AI-driven applications.
