Crucial is a division of Micron, the largest DRAM manufacturer in the United States. Crucial offers high-quality memory that has been qualified and approved by all major original equipment manufacturers, and ensures that 100 percent of its modules are reliably tested.

"Bell Microproducts' outstanding reputation, coupled with its strength in the storage industry and broad customer base will be a tremendous asset to Crucial," noted Bob Roney, Crucial's director of North American Sales. "This relationship offers customers the flexibility to purchase the high-quality Crucial products they know from a distributor they trust."

As part of this new relationship, Bell Microproducts will distribute Crucial's memory modules, with a primary focus on OEM customers. Additionally, the companies will address key vertical markets, including medical, video/ surveillance, industrial automation, networking and telecom. Crucial's memory upgrades will also be beneficial to customers targeting the storage solutions arena.
