There are a wide range of applications that OCZ addresses with an enterprise-class product portfolio. While a number of these products are designed specifically for certain applications and are regularly stocked OCZ does have the ability to custom-build storage solutions for any of the following applications:
 |
Enterprise Computing
(Servers, Storage Arrays, Financial infrastructure, Supercomputing, Data Warehousing)
|
Enterprise storage and computing applications have demanding performance and reliability requirements, and the TCO is a major factor. Enterprise storage systems making use of traditional hard drives have performance bottleneck and cost limitations, and OCZ addresses this with solid state drives that offer near instantaneous data transfer and reduced power consumption.
|
|
|
 |
Networking
(Servers, Security, Routers/Gateways, Communications)
|
OCZ has a range of solid state storage that are designed to be extremely high performance, ultra-reliable, and cost effective. The solid state drive solutions can be further tailored to be used as cache solutions for communications applications.
|
|
|
 |
Industrial
(Servers, Security, Routers/Gateways, Communications)
|
Unlike traditional PC platform computing, industrial applications may require very unique customization to be utilized in machinery and industrial data storage; this is why OCZ has the flexibility of customizing solutions with a wide range of form factors and interfaces, and can even build proprietary designs with locked BOMs for clients requiring a long-term fixed solution.
|
|
|
 |
Government/Education
(Storage, Field Computing, Higher Learning)
|
In many government and education applications a premium is placed on reliability, security, and total cost of ownership. OCZ's SSD products are well suited for this purpose and are more "green friendly" when it comes to ease of maintenance and power usage. Because OCZ's SSDs have no moving parts they are more reliable in the field when paired with Gov/Ed mobile applications.

|
 |
Medical
(Embedded into medical devices)
|
To increase reliability in medical equipment manufacturers are able to leverage the reliability and performance benefits of flash-based storage. OCZ offers a line of small form factor solutions that can be integrated into a wide range of monitoring and data logging devices; in addition, our embedded SSD line requires significantly less cooling and offers easy deployment and service in the field.
|
|
|
 |
Professional Media
(Audio/video capture and editing, design, storage)
|
Professional audio/video capturing and editing puts a strain on conventional spinning hard drives and when it comes to streaming HD content SSDs far surpass traditional media in performance and reliability. SSDs are also more rugged making them more durable for on-the-go professional media applications.
|
|
|
 |
Point of Sale Systems
(Kiosks, signage)
|
Low power consumption and reliability in the field are key factors when it comes to POS systems, and OCZ has flexible solutions that can be customized for unique form factors, and offer high endurance ensuring a long lifespan. In addition, SSDs are also an excellent choice for this application with added security and durability benefits to keep businesses running smoothly.
|
|
|
 |
Thin Clients
(commercial, education)
|
Thin client solutions require an extremely small footprint and place an emphasis on reduction of power consumption. OCZ's solid state drives fit the bill perfectly and allow integrators to build solutions with more compact chassis, and no performance sacrifices thanks to the performance gains of solid state storage. Without traditional spinning media these thin clients not only consume less power but can also run virtually silent making them good for corporate and education settings.
