Solidigm recently announced a major milestone regarding its commitment to Global AI Leadership and regional research development. The company has now exceeded its initial investment goals for its Greater Sacramento initiatives. This growth includes significant work at the Rancho Cordova headquarters and the surrounding R&D campus.
Solidigm originally committed to a $100 million investment in regional R&D facilities in September 2022. The company surpassed this figure only three and a half years into the build-out. These funds support local talent and new technology to help fuel global AI advancements.
Advanced R&D and Facility Expansion
The company invested $75 million into local laboratories. They also launched a world-class NAND R&D center and lab worth over $5 million. This facility introduced nearly 100 new NAND tools to the industry. Furthermore, a new wing at the headquarters is currently under construction. This expansion will bring the headquarters and R&D center to over 250,000 square feet.
“We have the most robust data storage product line for AI data centers,” said Greg Matson, SVP at Solidigm. “Our industry-leading SSDs help our customers achieve the highest levels of efficiency, density, and performance in storage for their AI demands. And all of the innovation for us starts right here in Rancho Cordova.”
Solidigm recently developed the first liquid-cooled SSD for fanless GPU systems. This innovation allows for higher levels of energy efficiency in AI environments. Additionally, engineers at the headquarters designed the world’s highest-capacity SSD.
“For a technology pioneer like Solidigm, planting roots in Sacramento was a winning choice for our HQ and for the region,” said Ashraf Abdelwly, Head of Corporate Services at Solidigm.“Our presence here reinforces that local businesses and innovators can make a global impact.”
