AI
Micron’s industry-leading memory and storage technologies enable the latest generation of faster, intelligent global infrastructures that make artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and generative AI possible. As AI data use continues to explode, storage becomes more central to system performance. Learn how the Micron 9400 SSD and NVIDIA GDS work together to improve performance to enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of your GPU deployments.
Also learn how Micron makes AI possible with technology that’s powering a new generation of faster, more intelligent global infrastructures.
SQL
SQL Server workloads call for storage with fast input/output (I/O) performance, speedy throughput and high endurance to manage the demands of today’s modern applications. Micron’s portfolio of SSDs enables efficient, optimized analytics platforms.
We tested a wide variety of SQL Server configurations and built a guide to optimize Microsoft SQL Server analytics workloads with Micron SSDs, DRAM and software configurations to maximize your return on investment (ROI).
Also, read how the Micron 6500 ION and XTR SSDs optimize SQL Server analytics workloads with unbeatable value and performance.
No SQL
NoSQL workloads such as social media platforms, content management systems and real-time analytics demand storage that is scalable, high performing and reliable.
We conducted tests on a variety of NoSQL workloads and compared them to competing solutions. Micron SSDs demonstrated superior performance, including:
Ceph is a scalable, simple, open-source storage software package for modern data-centric applications such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics and emerging cloud solutions.
Read how Micron combines Ceph’s software-defined storage innovation with Micron’s advanced technology. Our testing found the Micron 6500 ION SSD provides a true alternative to HDDs for Ceph deployments. We also found that erasure coding paired with Micron 7450 SSDs offers impressive performance and low cost to improve TCO on your next Ceph deployment.
Micron and WEKA bring the performance of Micron NVMe SSDs together with WekaFS™ to energize your data-intensive applications. We have written this technical brief to help you understand which Micron NVMe SSD and server configuration is the right choice for your deployment.

VMware® provides a set of server design recommendations for VMware® vSAN ReadyNode™ configurations. These all-flash VMware vSAN platform designs provide predictable high performance that’s easy to deploy and manage.
Micron data center SSDs offer ReadyNode-certified storage options that enable state-of-the-art data center efficiencies for VMware vSAN solutions. Also read how Micron SSDs improve storage performance with Lenovo® ThinkAgile™ VX VX Series Servers using VMware vSAN ESA.
RocksDB is a high-performance embedded database key-value store, optimized for multiple CPU cores and for efficient use of fast storage like Micron NVMe SSDs for I/O-bound workloads. Read below how Micron data center SSDs outperform leading competitors in RocksDB performance.
Noisy neighbor
In a cloud multi-tenant architecture, a tenant that monopolizes shared resources like storage, network, or compute is called a “noisy neighbor.”
Read how the Micron 9400 SSD is the best performance SSD for noisy neighbor environments, so workloads perform their best no matter the neighborhood.
