Certainly a product that is gaining traction, but there is a huge divide there.

If you have the fab, half of the uphill climb is complete. Controller and firmware is the challenge. Micron was late to the SSD market, as compared to Intel, so their growth is relative to their entry point and sales.

Enterprise is a completely different animal. In order for Micron to penetrate this market, they will have to dedicate firmware resources to comply with the big computing boys’ requirements. In order for Micron (or any other semiconductor company) to invest in these resources, there will have to be (big) volume. Is there “big” volume in Enterprise today?
