Micron® 7400 SSD With NVMe™ Delivers PCIe Gen4 Performance for Data Centers
October 06 2021 - 11:00AM
Micron Technology, Inc., (Nasdaq: MU) today announced availability
of the Micron® 7400 SSD with NVMe™, delivering industry-leading
form factor flexibility, PCIe Gen4 performance, and leading-edge
security to meet the storage needs of demanding data center
workloads. With this portfolio, Micron is providing the broadest
selection of mainstream data center SSDs available.1 Featuring
seven form factors, the Micron 7400 SSD enables the transition to
next-generation server architectures.
Data centers continue to evolve thanks to the rapid growth of
data and proliferation of applications that demand high
performance. The need to process, analyze and secure data that
provides valuable insights is fueling the modernization of the data
center, requiring new levels of storage innovation.
“Our customers need improved storage density and efficiency to
run their businesses,” said Jeremy Werner, corporate vice president
and general manager of the Storage Business Unit at Micron. “The
Micron 7400 SSD is flexible in its ability to address myriad
applications and system interoperability requirements, enabling
deployments and delivering value from edge to cloud.”
Broad SSD Portfolio for the Data Center The
expanded performance and widespread adoption of SSDs in data
centers are driving a requirement for new, optimized form factors
to meet data-centric workload needs. These form factors deliver
fast, reliable and affordable data center storage across a range of
use cases. The Micron 7400 SSD includes the only PCIe Gen4 M.2
22x80mm with power loss protection, as well as 2.5” U.3 data center
SSDs in both 15mm and 7mm thicknesses.2 It also features three
different sizes of the new E1.S Enterprise and Data Center SSD Form
Factor (EDSFF), enabling greater density, flash-optimized
performance, and improved power and cooling options.3 This breadth
of options means customers can move from traditional servers to
dense EDSFF server designs with one SSD. Offering a wide capacity
range from 400GB to 7.68TB, the portfolio supports low to
high-capacity applications.4 It also has endurance options for one
and three drive writes per day to support read and write intensive
applications.5 The SSD leverages the full vertical integration
capabilities of Micron to bring industry-leading innovation, from
controller to firmware and leading-edge NAND and DRAM technology,
to world-class front-end and back-end manufacturing.
PCIe Gen4 Performance That ScalesThe Micron
7400 SSD more than doubles IOPs per watt and throughput compared to
the previous generation.6 Backwards compatibility with PCIe Gen3
systems helps ease customer transition from Gen3 to Gen4 platforms.
The drive offers support for 128 namespaces to increase scalability
for virtualized environments like hyperconverged infrastructure and
software-defined storage.7 It also supports Open Compute Project
(OCP) deployments for qualified environments.8 OCP developed and
published specifications that have built a thriving ecosystem,
creating a standardized approach that helps reduce integration
complexity and speeds time to market.
Security with Hardware-Driven Performance
Leveraging years of in-house security expertise, the Micron 7400
SSD offers proven, standards-based features like TCG-Opal 2.01 and
IEEE-1667, and new features for data protection in-flight and
at-rest. These enhancements help address emerging needs as
organizations increasingly seek out better solutions to secure data
in both on-premises and cloud environments. Micron developed the
Secure Execution Environment (SEE) to isolate and process security
transactions to extend protection against a constantly evolving set
of threat models. SEE significantly improves the security of data
at rest through its use of dedicated memory, secure code and a
security microprocessor.
“The Micron 7400 SSD offers wide appeal for deployments from
edge to cloud,” said Patrick Moorhead, chief analyst at Moor
Insights & Strategy. “Varied applications and workloads with
unique requirements can benefit from the high performance and
efficiency of new form factors as well as security features
designed to protect against network and physical attacks.”
