BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micron Technology, Inc., (Nasdaq: MU) today announced new firmware for its NVMe 7450 SSD that supports the “Open Compute Project® Specification Datacenter NVMe SSD 2.0″ (OCP SSD 2.0).1 Micron has implemented the latest OCP standard to provide intelligent management that enables rapid, proactive optimization and resolution of common data center issues while bringing cloud-scale capabilities to enterprise data centers. The 7450 SSD, paired with this new firmware, continues to offer the most flexible deployment options in the industry, including U.2/U.3, E1.S, and M.2 form factors, as well as latency and superior quality of service. .
“Data center operators derive tremendous value when they deploy SSDs with impressive QoS that also simplify operations and speed up problem resolution. As a leader in the storage industry, Micron is proud to help our customers realize these benefits regardless of size,” said Alvaro Toledo, vice president and general manager of Data Center Storage at Micron. “With this breakthrough, we are further empowering cloud and enterprise-scale data center operators to accelerate time to market and reduce operating costs.”
The Micron 7450 SSD implements the OCP SSD 2.0 specification to provide intelligent management, performance optimization, seamless integration, and error handling.2 Latency monitoring helps improve performance by allowing latency issues to be tracked, diagnosed, and resolved.
Additionally, administrative commands allow standardized control over functions such as namespaces and security, easily integrating with OCP-compliant management systems. In addition, the 7450 SSD’s recovery and error injection functions, compliant with OCP SSD 2.0, enable rapid disk recovery and simulation of errors commonly encountered in data centers.3
This important release expands storage capabilities that were once cloud-exclusive to go through global OEMs in enterprise data centers. With an industry-leading number of form factors, capacity options from 400GB to 15.36TB, and security to protect data, the Micron 7450 SSD excels in enterprise data centers. The Micron 7450 SSD with OCP SSD 2.0 is now available to select customers. Visit micron.com/7450 to learn more.
