Micron to deliver world’s most advanced storage device for data centers

Hyderabad: Micron Technology said it is sampling the world’s first vertically-integrated 176-layer NAND solid-state drive (SSD) for the data centers. Integrated with Micron’s own DRAM (dynamic random access memory), internally developed system on chip and associated firmware, this SSD (storage devices) enables the company to rapidly respond to customer needs in the market and support […]

Hyderabad: Micron Technology said it is sampling the world’s first vertically-integrated 176-layer NAND solid-state drive (SSD) for the data centers.

Integrated with Micron’s own DRAM (dynamic random access memory), internally developed system on chip and associated firmware, this SSD (storage devices) enables the company to rapidly respond to customer needs in the market and support strengthened device security.

“We are launching the Micron 7450 SSD at the same time PCIe Gen4 (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is becoming the most widely adopted SSD interface in servers,” said Jeremy Werner, corporate vice president and general manager of Micron’s Storage Business Unit.

The 7450 SSD features multiple capacity options to fit varied data center needs. Its wide capacity range — from 400GB to 15.36TB — includes a capacity of 8TB in a compact E1.S form factor. In addition, the industry’s broadest set of form factors for data center SSDs addresses the unique challenges of data center workloads.

Safeguarding the data center

Organisations using high encryption standards for data at rest and in motion had an average data breach cost that was 29.4 per cent less last year than a breach occurring at organisations using low or no standard encryption.

Micron SSDs offer self-encrypting drive functionality and Microsoft eDrive options that help safeguard against data breaches and tailor security to specific data protection requirements. Micron’s Secure Execution Environment (SEE) offers even more data protection by providing dedicated security processing hardware with physical isolation.

Collaborations with industry

The Micron 7450 SSD is currently being qualified at numerous hyperscalers, data center customers and major OEMs. It will be available for customers to purchase through distribution in April.

“It is imperative to drive greater storage performance for today’s latency-sensitive data centers, and AMD EPYC processors stay ahead of this customer demand with high, per-processor core counts,” said Raghu Nambiar, corporate vice president of Datacenter Ecosystems and Solutions at AMD.
