Next week at Dell Technologies World, KIOXIA America, Inc. will showcase how its advanced solid-state drives (SSDs) and storage innovations are helping organisations reshape their business.

Aligned with this year’s theme, “Shaping the Future of Business, Together,” KIOXIA will highlight how its collaboration with Dell Technologies is enabling breakthrough performance and scalability across modern IT environments.

Working closely with Dell, KIOXIA continues to develop storage solutions designed to address evolving enterprise demands - from accelerating AI adoption to supporting increasingly complex data ecosystems. By advancing technologies such as PCIe® 5.0 and EDSFF form factors, KIOXIA is helping organisations improve application responsiveness and increase storage density.

At Dell Technologies World 2026, KIOXIA will demonstrate how its SSD portfolio enhances performance across a wide range of Dell platforms - spanning client devices and enterprise server and storage systems. These solutions support both traditional workloads and emerging AI use cases, where the shift toward inference is redefining how data is stored, accessed, and managed.

“KIOXIA’s long-standing collaboration with Dell Technologies allows us to deliver storage solutions that directly address the challenges organizations face as they modernize their infrastructure,” said Neville Ichhaporia, senior vice president and general manager of the SSD business unit at KIOXIA America, Inc. “By combining high-performance SSD technology with Dell’s platforms, we’re helping customers achieve meaningful gains in application performance and scalability - while preparing for the next wave of AI-driven workloads.”
