Micron Technology and Seagate Technology have formed a strategic alliance to establish a framework for innovation while targeting the enterprise flash market.

The framework of the agreement will enable customers of the two companies to benefit from a focused approach to deliver storage solutions, helping them innovate faster and more effectively.

While initially focusing 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.

Seagate executive vice president, electronics solutions, Phil Brace, said the agreement enabled Seagate to secure a strategic supply of NAND flash memory and enabled collaboration on future products and technologies.

“Our companies are leaders in the storage industry, and in working together we build on that success.”
