Customer Impact
"Pure Storage's collaboration with Micron is another example of our significant momentum bringing the benefits of all-flash storage technology to hyperscale environments," said Bill Cerreta, General Manager, Hyperscale, Pure Storage. "With Micron's advanced NAND technology, Pure Storage can further optimize storage scalability, performance, and energy efficiency for an industry with unparalleled requirements."
Pure Storage and Micron are collaborating to deliver a winning total cost of ownership solution, outperforming 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 and 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, cutting 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.
"Micron's advanced NAND technologies, paired with Pure's innovative storage solutions, enable data center operators to address the increasing performance, efficiency, and scalability needs for today's hyperscale data centers," said Jeremy Werner, SVP & GM, Storage Business Unit, Micron. "Built on trust and thriving on innovation, our collaboration with Pure Storage consistently offers cutting-edge storage solutions for hyperscale and enterprise environments."
