February 5, 2013 – At the Linley Data Center Conference held in San Jose earlier this month, we had a chance to meeting the Ryan Baxter of Micron to discuss their new NVDIMM module that is targeted at enterprise servers. To bring higher reliability to the enterprise marketplace, the NVDIMM product looks like an RDIMM [...]
October 2012 – At the Linley networking and processor event, we had a chance to meet with Micron Technologies and discuss their high performance Networking DRAM solutions. These memories feature a reduced latency for fast random access, based on using a different internal design than from standard DRAM. The turnaround time on a data access [...]
September 18, 2012, Memcon, Santa Clara, CA—Scott Graham from Micron offered the hybrid memory cube architecture as a way to address the challenges and memory bottlenecks in high performance systems. The memories and their interfaces are inhibiting the ability for servers to improve throughput performance. Application server performance requires reducing latency for networks, while increasing [...]
August 2012, At the Flash Memory Summit we had a chance to talk to Jeff Bader of Micron about their directions and offerings for the embedded Flash space. Unlike the consumer external Flash memory solutions which are high capacity, low duty cycle and short lifetime products, dominated by NAND, the embedded space has different criteria. [...]
July 2012 – The Hybrid Memory Cube Consortium has made substantial progress in the past year since its launch. The advanced memory architecture solution has now completed and locked the 10 member companies of the core development team as of the end of May 2012. They have also finalized agreements with 35 adopter companies and [...]
March 2012 – We recently had a chance to test the Micron 200GB P400e Enterprise class SSD. This MLC drive is optimized and designed for the enterprise marketplace. The drive features a high performance read channel that is about double the throughput of the write channel. In most enterprise applications, the SSD is part of [...]
August 10, 2011, Flash Memory Summit, Santa Clara, CA—Glen Hawk from Micron Technology described NANDs increasing role in information gathering, search, storage, and retrieval. The various uses for NAND have changed the way we look at data. Alchemy has been much maligned over the centuries, because some of its early proponents, rather than just try [...]
