Micron Technology, Inc. has announced a new encryption-enhanced solid state drive (SSD) for read-centric data center workloads, accelerating the transition from legacy hard disk drives (HDDs) to higher-performance flash-based storage. The M510DC combines a suite of firmware data protection features with the market’s first true TCG Enterprise-level data encryption for SSDs—a capability that is of paramount importance to the highly scrutinized medical, banking and government industries.
Deploying SSDs rather than traditional hard disk drives helps optimize workload response times around many of today’s business-critical, read-centric deployments such as CDNs, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployments and business intelligence/decision support systems using database management.
