SanDisk Portfolio of Industrial Grade Flash Storage Solutions

SanDisk Corporation introduced SanDisk Industrial, a suite of intelligent NAND flash solutions optimized to meet the robust storage demands of connected industrial applications.

The new high-endurance SanDisk Industrial solutions offer performance and reliability, even in extreme temperature ranges, making them for use in a variety of markets, including factory applications and industrial computing, utilities, medical equipment, surveillance camera systems, digital signage, robotics, point-of-sale solutions, large-scale printing, and energy management.

Gartner Research estimates: “By 2020, Internet-connected things will outnumber humans with a ratio of 4-to-1…“(1)

Internet of Things (IoT) is particularly expanding in manufacturing and utilities sectors.

According to Gartner, “IoT adoption is growing, with manufacturing and utilities estimated to have the largest installed base of things by 2020.”(2)

“Just as NAND flash helps consumer electronics and mobile devices handle complex applications, overcome connectivity limitations and optimize bandwidth costs, we are now seeing it causing disruptive change in a wide array of industrial industries,” said Oded Sagee, senior director of industrial and connected hHome solutions SanDisk. “We have architected our new high-endurance SanDisk Industrial flash storage portfolio to be the ideal storage for the growing IoT market. It delivers exceptional, long-term reliability and performance, even in rigorous environments that operate in extreme temperatures or require massive real-time processing and data integrity for a long duration of time.”

“Our customers trust IllustraEdge cameras with exacqVision Edge video management system to reliably store and retrieve their surveillance video 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This demands storage that has high enough capacity to continuously record high resolution video and the endurance to reliably do so for years,” said Scott Dennison, director of marketing, Tyco Security Products. “SanDisk’s understanding of flash architecture and the longevity demands of the industrial environment enabled Tyco to incorporate a SanDisk Industrial flash storage card that gives our customers the reliable storage capacity they demand.”

The SanDisk Industrial portfolio of storage solutions includes industrial grade SanDiskSD cards, SanDisk microSD cards and iNAND embedded flash drives (EFD), which are available to manufacturers in capacities up to 64GB(3). Built for endurance, the industrial solutions are optimized to perform well in a range of environments, delivering reliable speed and performance over extended lifecycles. This enables trusted, predictable storage performance for automated factory applications or read-intensive outdoor digital signage that must continuously play video and graphics for extended periods of time.

The portfolio also includes the SanDisk Industrial XT iNAND EFDs and SD cards. Designed to perform in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, SanDisk XT storage solutions are for high temperature factory applications, utility operations in extreme climates and other intensive environments.

In addition, SanDisk Industrial SD cards and microSD cards are removable and swappable, providing users the flexibility to quickly load or update large quantities of data and enabling easy maintenance and configuration.

SanDisk Flash Memory Technology Means Performance
SanDisk’s end-to-end vertical integration enables strong quality control, from flash memory wafer manufacturing to product assembly, test and analysis, to customer implementation. SanDisk works closely with OEM customers and ecosystem partners to optimize its Industrial solutions for the unique needs of the industrial market.

Industrial storage solutions are the latest additions to SanDisk’s full portfolio of embedded and removable flash storage solutions for industrial markets. It includes SanDisk Automotive storage solutions, SanDisk iNAND embedded flash drive family of products, the solid-state solutions and intelligent SanDisk microSD and SD card solutions. These bring flash storage to consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and e-readers and PCs, as well as OEM applications such as automotive, and connected home.
