- September 2015
Like many other SSD makers Lite-On makes
SATA SSDs for the
consumer and
enterprise markets -
in a variety of sizes.
Unlike most other SSD companies Lite-On was
early to see that significant opportunities might exist in the enterprise for
M.2 form factor PCIe SSDs.
This refocus - from consumer to enterprise
markets - is a path which many other vendors have trodden before. And in most
cases success has required
acquiring SSD
companies which know these markets better.
By being an organic
pioneer in the enterprise M.2 SSD market - Lite-On is showing that many new
things are still possible if designers provide economic benefits in a way which
enterprise customers can easily understand and scale.
