Strategic Life Cycle Management for Industrial-Grade Storage

When a major production line stalls because of a storage device failure, the costs include lost revenue and damage to reputation, not just the hardware expense. Industrial-grade storage should therefore be managed as a strategic asset rather than just a commodity component. Why Industrial Storage Differs from Consumer Products Industrial flash devices are designed to […]

Why Delkin’s Locked-BOM Industrial Storage Pays Off

When your BOM isn’t locked, every “equivalent” part swap or EOL notice can cause performance drift, surprise re-qualification, line stops, audit findings, and missed ship dates—plus support issues when field units don’t behave the same. Silent controller or media changes lead to unexpected firmware work; footprint or spec shifts result in rework, scrap, and MRP […]
