Advanced MCPs for the Changing Mobile Market

An interview with Eric Spanneut, director of mobile memory marketing.

Enterprise NAND—Some Industry Perspective

We’ve had tremendous feedback from customers, partners, media and analysts on our Enterprise NAND announcement. So I thought I’d include a couple of perspectives from the industry on the potential impact of Enterprise NAND:

Tripling NAND Performance in Mobile Systems

Watch the video below to see why some of our competitors’ customers have been willing to open their design cycles to take advantage of the big NAND performance gains offered by Micron’s MCPs.

Driving the Next Generation of Server Performance with LRDIMMs

Today we announced the world’s first DDR3 LRDIMMs, built with our advanced 50nm, 2Gb DDR3 components.

Micron’s New NAND: Great Space, Less Filling

We need the storage capacity in our mobile devices to hold the huge amounts of data we consume. So what’s Micron doing to feed that capacity appetite? Today we announced new 16Gb and 32Gb NAND products built using our ground-breaking 34nm NAND process technology.

Power and Performance

If you design electronics, you’re used to thinking of power savings and performance as opposite poles—you’ve typically had to trade one to get the other … not true for SODIMMs

Memory: A Data Center Opportunity

New York Times published a feature article in its Sunday, June 14th edition on the topic of data centers. Sounds just like something you would expect in the Sunday Times, no? You see, for those outside of the engineering and technology world, the term “data centers” isn’t as widely understood, nor should it be, really. [...]

Overprovisioning: Give a little, get a lot.

Suppose I told you that the local car dealership was selling a car that offered double the gas mileage of standard models (or double the top speed for you daredevils).  You’d probably say something like “Sure, but what is it going to cost me?”  Suppose I told you that the models were identical, but the [...]

Beyond MLC NAND: Some Perspective

There has been quite a buzz in the industry lately about NAND flash products that are capable of storing more than two bits per cell, so I wanted to just take a minute and provide our perspective. Simply put–what ultimately matters is having the lowest cost-per-bit solution in volume production at a given moment in [...]

Violin Memory Plays an Enterprising Flash-y Tune

Greetings all—I’m Donpaul Stephens, president of Violin Memory. If you’re not familiar with us, we make memory appliances for applications that demand very high IOP/s or low latency for use in data-center operations. Micron’s Kevin Kilbuck and I were talking the other day and we thought it might be interesting for me to write a [...]
