Micron Eliminates Need for Network Video Recorders With Launch of World’s First 1TB Industrial-Grade microSD Card for Cloud...
November 12 2019 - 9:00AM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today unveiled the world’s
highest-capacity industrial microSD card — Micron® i300 1TB3
microSDXC UHS-I — to address the edge storage needs of the video
surveillance market and other industrial applications. The new
Micron® i300 1TB microSD card is based on Micron’s advanced
96-layer 3D quad-level cell (QLC) NAND technology, now making it
cheaper for small- to medium-sized deployments to have primary
storage in the camera compared to a centralized storage
architecture. The i300 microSD card enables users of video
surveillance systems to capture and store more than three months of
high-quality video footage on-device and at the edge.
“Micron’s i300 industrial-grade microSD cards for edge storage
open the possibility for a broad range of video surveillance as a
service deployments that no longer require local network video
recorders,” said Amit Gattani, senior director of Segment Marketing
in Micron’s Embedded Business Unit. “Micron’s 96-layer 3D QLC NAND
is instrumental in helping us deliver 1TB of storage in a microSD
form factor and at a breakthrough price point to accelerate edge
storage and cloud-based service models.”
Intelligence at the Edge
VSaaS systems are increasingly integrating artificial
intelligence-based and higher-resolution cameras that require more
storage at the edge. The Micron i300 1TB microSDXC card allows 24/7
continuous capture and storage of up to 1TB of high-quality video
in the camera. Users of video surveillance systems can now store
large amounts of video footage on-device, opening a broader set of
uses for cloud-managed solutions.
“Demand for commercial surveillance cameras continues to grow at
a rapid pace,” said Jeff Janukowicz, research vice president at
International Data Corporation (IDC). “Smart cameras, artificial
intelligence, machine learning and threat detection are being
driven to the edge for real-time responsiveness, making Micron’s
1TB microSD card an invaluable solution for differentiation and
innovation.”
The VSaaS market is projected to reach $6 billion in 2022,
corresponding to a growth of 22% compound annual growth rate
between 2017 and 2022.4 The rising adoption of VSaaS by small to
medium businesses and enterprises is attributed to lower overhead
costs achieved through ease of installation and elimination of the
need for on-site NVRs and DVRs. The ability to store large video
footage files in the camera and at the edge reduces the demand for
network bandwidth and expenditure associated with continuous cloud
storage. These savings contribute to lowering the overall cost of
ownership for businesses while bringing flexibility and scalability
associated with cloud-based implementation models.
"The video surveillance market is quickly shifting toward hybrid
cloud architectures that store video footage on-camera, allowing
secure access via cloud-based software,” said Raj Misra, director
of Hardware Engineering at Verkada. “Enterprise customers are
choosing hybrid cloud offerings to reduce operational costs,
simplify installation and management, and gain from powerful video
analytics. Micron extending its range of reliable industrial-grade
microSD cards to 1TB enables us to provide our customers with
industry-leading data retention, security and video resolution
options at very cost-effective price points."
Micron’s industrial-grade microSD portfolio is designed to
endure the harsh environments in which surveillance systems are
deployed. The Micron i300 1TB microSDXC card minimizes frame drops
in a 24/7, 30 frames per second (FPS) recording environment,
offering twice the reliability of hard disk drives at 2 million
hours mean time to failure. The card features a smart tool for
monitoring the health of devices.
“VIVOTEK has launched a series of edge-computing network cameras
and successfully deployed Micron’s high-quality industrial-grade
microSD cards,” said Shengfu Cheng, director of Marketing and
Product Development Division, VIVOTEK Inc. “Micron’s portfolio
of industrial microSD cards up to 1TB equips us to deliver greater
flexibility, scalability and maintenance efficiency to our
customers, all of which contribute to a better return on
investment.”
AvailabilityThe Micron i300 microSDXC UHS-I
card is offered in 128GB to 1TB capacities, which are available for
ordering. The entire industrial-grade portfolio includes capacities
ranging from 32GB to 1TB. For more information, visit
