Highlights from our MU Report include: 


        
        - Advancing Technologically - On July 14, 2015, Micron Technology, Inc. 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 news came before market hours, and led to a sharp opening in
          share prices on Tuesday morning. Micron's stock opened at $19.79, 12.4% above its
          previous day's closing price of $17.61.
        - Important Innovation for the Highly Scrutinized Industries - Micron informed that its
          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.
        - A New Opportunity for Customers - While early enterprise SSD deployments focused on
          high-endurance drives, data from Greg Wong, founder and principal analyst at Forward
          Insights, reveals that two-thirds of today's newly optimized data center SSD purchases
          require one drive fill per day or less. These market changes, according to the Company,
          create a distinct opportunity for customers to focus on a cost-optimized SSD like the
          M510DC.
        - Immediate Return on Investment: The Company stated that the early adopters of the
          M510DC have seen immediate return on investment (ROI) after deploying Micron's M510DC
          SSD. The M510DC excelled in decreasing radiologist image load times from 15 seconds to
          virtually instantaneously for the MedVet Medical & Cancer Centers for Pets, Micron
          said. This increase in productivity for radiologists is projected to save time and
          improve MedVet's revenue and bottom line by hundreds of thousands of dollars over the
          life of the M510DC server deployment.
        - Immense Data Protection & Other Exquisite Features - The M510DC is built with Micron's
          16nm NAND technology using targeted enterprise-ready firmware. The drive features
          Micron's eXtended Performance and Enhanced Reliability Technology (XPERT) architecture,
          which delivers proprietary enhancements that greatly improve performance, drive life
          and integrity.
