Micron’s own IS team reworked their fab data center architecture using P400m SATA SSDs to gain better performance and reliability.

1. Micron Enterprise SSDs Make
Its Multibillion-Dollar Fab Fly

2. Micron’s core is our
FABs, which run on
OLTP data
SW checks products
to ensure specs
are within tolerance
Slowdowns impact
FABs' ability to
move the product
down line
Low latency
ensures Statistical
Process Control
success

any slowdown is
simply not acceptable.
High-speed data
