Tame the Boot Storm

Janene Ellefson   |   May 14, 2013   |   All Products

Minimize the Impact of Boot Storms

If you manage a network of virtual machines, you’ve probably experienced the negative effects of a boot storm too many times. These virtual storms can occur when a large number of users log in to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) system simultaneously. If the VDI system employs traditional storage, like hard disk drives (HDDs), bandwidth gets overwhelmed quickly. Slow boot times and reduced productivity ensue, often resulting in frustrated and less-efficient users. Our ultra-high band...

Why Latency Matters

Janene Ellefson   |   April 30, 2013   |   All Products

Latency Matters

When you think about system performance, you have to think latency. In an IT environment, latency affects everything—from efficiency and throughput, to customer satisfaction and operating costs. We are confident that our SSDs can help solve IT latency issues. This video emphasizes the importance of latency using more general, everyday situations.  It’s not often we get to laugh at latency problems. For countless businesses—especially cloud and data center environments&md...

It’s a Great Time to Work in Storage

Kirstin Bordner   |   April 11, 2013   |   All Products

Flash is revolutionizing how we store data. It is the solution of choice for truly reliable portability in today’s popular smartphones and tablets, and it is gaining momentum as the “performance operator” in the data center. And these two applications are undeniably linked—as we demand more mobility and instant access, we need bigger, faster, and more efficient data centers to serve up the content. It’s an exciting time for us. As a start-to-finish developer of soli...

PCIe high speed, low latency and easy service? Can you really have it all?

Doug Rollins   |   October 30, 2012   |   All Products

PCI Express performance in an Enterprise-class SSD and the serviceability of front of system hot swap  as easy as SAS or SATA? Yup—with the Micron RealSSD P320h 2.5-inch SSD, you get both.  Supporting both 175GB and 350GB capacities, the P320h is design to comply with the standard 2.5-inch PCI Express form factor, connector, and behavior specifications developed by the SSD Form Factor Working Group. This game-changing design offers scalability, easy service, portability, and per...

Server Performance Transformed

Kirsten Bordner   |   October 22, 2012   |   All Products

The I/O bottleneck is one of the biggest limitations of network performance in the enterprise industry today. To alleviate this bottleneck for their servers, Dell looked to Micron’s SSDs as a way to take advantage of the faster PCIe interface.  Our collaboration resulted in the Micron  P320h 2.5-inch PCIe SSD (or as Dell calls it, the PowerEdgeTM PCIe Express Flash SSD).  This SSD is unique because it takes advantage of the fast PCIe interface while at the same time overcoming th...

Our I/O Virtualization Technology Part 2: Taking Full Advantage of SSD Performance with Micron’s PCIe SSD Sharing Technology

Justin Strong   |   October 3, 2012   |   All Products

In my previous post, I introduced our new I/O virtualization (IOV) technology, which can provide numerous benefits to data centers. Today, I’m talking about the benefits of PCIe sharing to SSDs. Micron offers some of the highest-performing SSDs in the industry. Take our RealSSD™ P320h PCI Express (PCIe) drive, for example, with its sustained read speeds of over 3 GB/s and random read IOPS approaching 800,000. While these performance numbers are impressive, a fixed amount of SSD stor...

The power of PCIe SSDs in a hot-swappable form factor

Scott Shadley   |   August 30, 2012   |   Storage

I met with TechFieldDay’s Stephen Foskett at VMWorld yesterday to discuss the benefits fitting the high throughput of PCIe SSDs into a standardized, hot-swappable form factor. This new drive interface is sure to be a popular solution for server-side cache solutions. Watch the video for more, or download our P320h 2.5” Product Brief for more details.

Micron’s I/O Virtualization Technology: Helping to Create a More Manageable and Reliable Datacenter

Justin Strong   |   August 27, 2012   |   All Products

Back in January of this year, we acquired a company named Virtensys, along with a technology that enables I/O virtualization (IOV) through PCIe sharing. This has been an exciting acquisition for us because of the opportunities that the technology presents to take full advantage of SSD performance in a shared enterprise environment. So for the next couple of posts, I’m going to talk about why this technology is so beneficial to a data center, including an overview of just how PCIe...

New PCIe Interface is an Enterprise Game-Changer

Gary Gentry   |   March 6, 2012   |   Memory

Today, we announced a new 2.5-inch PCIe SSD form factor. What makes this form factor big news is how the new interface is going to be used. Our SSD has been selected as a key storage device in Dell’s PowerEdge 12th generation servers, which use innovative, front-accessible backplane designs that accommodate 2.5-inch SATA, SAS, or PCIe devices, so customers can choose the right combination of data storage and caching devices to suit their needs. These new servers and our 2.5-inch PCIe SSD r...

Controlling Complexity with ClearNAND™ Flash

Mike Seibert   |   January 5, 2012   |   Memory

One of our existing NAND customers, Maryland-based Data Design Corporation, specializes in custom electronic designs for national laboratories, defense, and industrial applications. Their engineers had a great idea for a custom PCIe storage device. But they had a problem—standard NAND ECC requirements have been changing with each generation resulting in expensive reengineering of the NAND controller in order to keep pace with the most advanced NAND. Watch our interview with Data Design’s Directo...
