Working Together to Provide Unmatched Performance and
Enterprise-class Reliability
IDT® (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.) (NASDAQ: IDTI), a
leading provider of essential mixed signal semiconductor solutions that
enrich the digital media experience and Micron Technology, Inc. (NYSE:
MU), one of the world’s leading providers of advanced semiconductor
solutions, today announced they have entered into an alliance to develop
PCI Express® (PCIe®) Solid-State Drive (SSD) technologies for the
server, storage and embedded markets.
As part of this alliance, IDT and Micron will co-develop enterprise
flash controllers with a PCIe host interface optimized for Micron’s
flash devices and future generation RealSSD™ solid-state drives.
Combining Micron’s extensive experience in flash design and SSD
development with IDT’s proficiency in PCIe solutions and memory
interface products will enable devices to achieve lower latency, greater
performance and new levels of storage integration.
“As the NAND landscape continues to evolve with application requirements
and process advancements, it’s important that we ensure the interface
options align with the technology,” said Dean Klein, vice president of
memory system development at Micron. “Micron continues to be a leader in
NAND-based storage and we recognize the complications manufacturers face
when implementing new – and changing – technology into their systems.
Through this alliance with IDT, we’re opening the doors for our
customers to easily take advantage of the latest and most innovative
flash technology, with features optimized for enterprise applications.”
“The existing IDT portfolio of memory interface products, PCIe bridges,
switches and timing solutions with integrated Power Smart technology
delivers industry leading performance and reliability to enterprise
class customers today,” said Mario Montana, vice president and general
manager of the IDT Enterprise Computing Division. “Our alliance with
Micron, together with their enterprise flash products will, in the
future, supply the industry with PCIe-based solid-state drive solutions
with unparalleled performance and reliability.”
