Shigeo (Jeff) Ohshima Technology Executive, SSD Application Engineering, Toshiba |
|
Biography Shigeo, AKA "Jeff" Ohshima is a member of the technology executive team at Toshiba Memory, where he focuses on SSD development and applications engineering. He was previously VP Memory Technology Executive at Toshiba America Electronic Components, focused on Flash memory with an emphasis on SSDs. He was also Senior Manager R&D in the advanced NAND flash memory design department. He has worked on memory at Toshiba for over 30 years, including 20 years on DRAM design engineering. Ohshima has served as a Visiting Research Scientist at Stanford University. He holds a BSEE and MSEE from Tokyo's Keio University. Abstract Flash memory has rapidly become the key to the storage systems that enables the "digital transformation" in enterprise and hyperscale data centers. Fortunately, technology advances can meet the ever-larger storage needs of such widespread applications as real-time business analytics, databases, transaction processing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, security, video transmission, and the Internet of Things. BiCS FLASH™ with 96-layers and beyond, increased numbers of bits per cell, and hierarchical flash architectures offer capacity scaling in the same, or even smaller form factors. Specialized Flash memory derivatives versions, such as QLC and Toshiba's XL flas, create new deployment models that lower costs, increase performance, and shrink footprints. Over the next few years, storage designers can expect Flash technology to continue to keep pace with the demands of big data and increasingly complex applications. |
