Market trend: growing focus on enhancing customer experience and expectations
Vendors are concentrating on providing differentiated products and related services to increase their market share and remain competitive. This is to improve the customer experience by providing flexible business models. One of the storage business model provided by a prominent vendor has a cloud-based-like approach to on-premise storage. It provides customers a subscription-based storage experience. It takes a different approach to provide upgrades to software and hardware. This storage business model assures end-users that no TB of storage is re-purchased.
Market challenge: issues related to the reliability of AFAs
The flash storages have limited write cycles. They go through many program-erase (P/E) cycles during their lifetime. During each P/E cycle, the high electric fields are applied to the tunnel oxide that increases stress. The tunnel oxide is a thin oxide, which causes other effects such as erratic bits and over-programming that can lead to reading errors. The performance of the tunnel oxide defines the reliability of the entire memory. Therefore, vendors must determine the right process of tunnel oxide creation in terms of thickness, material, growth, defectivity, and interface.
