Pure Storage and Micron collaborate

Pure Storage is expanding its strategic collaboration with Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU), a global leader in memory and storage solutions. This strategic collaboration enables the high-capacity and energy-efficient solutions that hyperscalers require using Micron G9 QLC NAND for future DirectFlash® Module products.

The joint effort continues a decade-long initiative of integrating Micron’s latest NAND technology with Pure Storage solutions, which spans seven generations and includes the Micron G8 QLC NAND qualified for production in Pure Storage’s 150TB DirectFlash Module. Combined with Pure Storage’s advanced data storage platform, the solution delivers a data storage platform with massive drive capacities, high performance, and low latency — while driving architectural simplification and delivering significant energy efficiency improvements.

Customer Challenge:

In modern data centers, three critical concerns factor into every storage solution — energy efficiency, storage density, and performance. Data centers consume tremendous amounts of power, which is why energy-efficient solutions are critical to managing both operational expenses and the impact on the environment. Additionally, as data centers grow, they remain space-constrained, making every square foot valuable. Operators are continuously challenged to fit more storage into less space. Meanwhile, storage performance is even more important as a competitive advantage because consumers of data center services expect faster data processing as the rush to turn data into insights accelerates.

Customer Impact:

Pure Storage and Micron are collaborating to deliver a winning total cost of ownership solution versus legacy hard drive-based storage solutions for hyperscalers. The collaboration provides the following benefits:

· Improved performance, lower latency: The combination of Pure Storage’s leading data storage platform with Micron’s advanced NAND technology with industry-leading transfer rates provides ultrafast, low-latency, and reliable solutions for massive, data-intensive workloads.

· Sustainable solutions: This joint solution dramatically reduces the energy consumption over traditional storage solutions, lowering operating costs and reducing the environmental footprint.

· Rack-dense, scalable solutions: By integrating Micron’s NAND that offers industry-leading areal density (that is, bits per square millimeter), Pure Storage can deliver highly scalable systems at a reduced total cost of acquisition and ownership.
