Abstract: In the past decade, mobile connectivity and availability of scalable, reliable, and cost-effective data centers, have changed the way data is being generated, sored, analyzed, and consumed. New business models further accelerate data creation and consumption, and NAND SSDs will continue to be a key technology to enable these applications. We will discuss recent innovations and key challenges of 3D NAND cost and performance scaling.
