Micron Technology and Seagate Technology has signed a strategic agreement that establishes a framework for combining the innovation and expertise of both companies. The framework of the agreement will enable customers of the two companies to benefit from a focussed approach to deliver storage solutions, helping them innovate faster and more effectively.
“This agreement enables Seagate to secure a strategic supply of NAND flash memory and enables collaboration on future products and technologies. Our companies are leaders in the storage industry, and in working together we build on that success,” said Phil Brace, Executive Vice-President, Electronics Solutions, Seagate. “The collaboration will assure both Seagate and Micron target the growing enterprise flash market with industry-leading offerings across both of our product portfolios. The relationship provides Micron access to enterprise drive technology and platforms, expanding our portfolio and accelerating our push into the enterprise market segment,” said Darren Thomas, Vice- President of Storage, Micron. While initially focussing on next-generation SAS SSDs and strategic NAND supply, Micron and Seagate anticipate that this multi-year agreement will extend into future collaboration on enterprise storage solutions featuring Micron NAND flash memory.
