Pure Storage, Micron Expand Partnership

Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), an advanced data storage technology company, has announced an expanded strategic collaboration with Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU), a global memory and storage solutions company. This partnership focuses on leveraging Micron’s G9 QLC NAND technology to deliver high-capacity, energy-efficient storage solutions designed to meet the demanding requirements of hyperscale environments.

Building on a decade-long relationship, the collaboration integrates Micron’s latest NAND technology with Pure Storage’s innovative platforms. Micron’s G8 QLC NAND, already utilized in Pure Storage’s 150TB DirectFlash® Module, has demonstrated exceptional performance. The new integration with Micron’s G9 QLC NAND enhances scalability, drive capacities, and energy efficiency while reducing latency, providing hyperscalers with next-generation data storage solutions.

Modern data centers face significant challenges, including energy efficiency, storage density, and performance. Rising power consumption drives the need for energy-efficient solutions to reduce operational costs and environmental impact. Meanwhile, space constraints in data centers make maximizing storage density critical. Performance remains a top priority as businesses seek faster data processing to stay competitive.

The collaboration between Pure Storage and Micron addresses these challenges by offering an advanced alternative to traditional hard drive-based systems. Benefits include enhanced performance with ultrafast transfer rates and low latency, sustainable solutions that significantly reduce energy consumption, and scalable systems that deliver high storage density with lower total ownership costs.

Bill Cerreta, General Manager of Hyperscale at Pure Storage, emphasized the importance of the partnership, stating, “Pure Storage’s collaboration with Micron is another example of our momentum in bringing the benefits of all-flash storage technology to hyperscale environments. With Micron’s advanced NAND technology, we’re optimizing storage scalability, performance, and energy efficiency for an industry with unparalleled requirements.”

Jeremy Werner, SVP and GM of Micron’s Storage Business Unit, added, “Micron’s advanced NAND technologies, combined with Pure’s innovative storage solutions, enable data center operators to address the increasing performance, efficiency, and scalability needs of today’s hyperscale data centers. Built on trust and driven by innovation, our collaboration consistently delivers cutting-edge solutions.”

The expanded partnership between Pure Storage and Micron demonstrates a shared commitment to revolutionizing data storage technology. By delivering sustainable, scalable, and high-performance solutions, the two companies are addressing the critical needs of modern hyperscale data centers while setting new benchmarks for efficiency and innovation.
