Thousands of High-Density Flash Devices Enable Massive Storage in a Slim
Footprint
SAN JOSE, Calif., 2012-10-16 17:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU) today announced another new storage
industry milestone--the integration of its 20nm NAND flash storage media into a
high-endurance, high-capacity enterprise system. San Jose-based Skyera is using
Micron's 20nm, 128 gigabit (Gb) multilevel cell (MLC) NAND flash storage media
to pack an astounding 44 terabytes (TB) into a single, compact enterprise
storage system for big data, cloud computing, and virtualization applications.
Skyera's Skyhawk system uses more than 3,000 Micron flash storage components,
creating a high-capacity, high-performance storage solution that fits into a 1U
form factor--about the size of a pizza box. Watch Skyera discuss their
collaboration with Micron in this video:

Both the end system and the components have earned industry awards for
innovation. The Skyhawk storage system's impressive capabilities earned it Best
of Show at this year's Flash Memory Summit in August. In February, UBM
TechInsights recognized Micron's groundbreaking 20nm MLC NAND (developed
jointly with Intel); giving it their top honor--Semiconductor of the Year. This
20nm process technology is critical to creating storage media with the
capacity, endurance, and cost-effectiveness required for enterprise storage on
this scale--and Micron's device is the only MLC NAND available in a 128Gb
density.
'We're excited to be collaborating with Micron on this project. The capacity
point achieved by our Skyhawk would not have been possible without Micron's
128Gb chip,' said Radoslav Danilak, Skyera CEO. 'Skyhawk will revolutionize the
mainstream enterprise solid-state storage market by delivering next-generation
performance and capacity at a price point equivalent to spinning disks. All
that is possible because of our collaboration with Micron in bringing
leading-edge NAND to the enterprise market.'
'With cloud applications creating tremendous demand for fast, efficient data
centers, customers like Skyera are looking to Micron for innovative flash
storage solutions that can deliver both performance and capacity,' said Glen
Hawk, vice president of Micron's NAND Solutions Group. 'Skyera's implementation
of our leading-edge NAND flash storage media is a perfect example of the impact
that high-performance, high-capacity flash storage can have on the enterprise
market.'
The demand for enterprise-capable NAND flash storage is also being driven by
massive growth in big data applications. To meet the industry's demanding data
access requirements, servers require high-performance, high-capacity storage
that NAND flash delivers. Because it's exponentially faster and uses less power
than hard drives, flash storage can also significantly reduce the footprint and
power requirements for a given storage application.
Micron's 20nm monolithic 128Gb device was the first in the industry to enable a
terabit (Tb) of data storage in a single fingertip-size package. It is
currently in mass production and shipping to numerous customers for use in a
variety of storage applications.
