Home About the Micron Blog Aug 2010 24 Kirstin Bordner Comments 0 Why SSD Testing Standards are Important One of the great benefits of the Flash Memory Summit is the opportunity to interact with other people and companies that are serious about advancing Flash technology . One of those is Eden Kim , CEO of Calypso Systems—a company that builds SSD testers and is helping lead the push for standardized test methods you might remember our recent post on their P300 performance testing results On Wednesday , I interviewed Eden about what his company does , how their testers work , and why standards are so important . He also shared his thoughts on how our P300 SSD did against the competition . Take a : look Share This Related : posts Standards , Questions , and the Big Dialogue : Talking is
Welcome to the August 2010 edition of the Server and StorageIO Group (StorageIO) newsletter.
Recent press reports about a bidding war for 3PAR bring into focus the expanding need for enterprise class data storage subsystems. What exactly is enterprise storage? Defining enterprise storage is frought with problems but I will take a shot. Enterprise class data storage has: Enhanced reliability, high availability and serviceability – meaning it hardly ever [...]
Somebody needs to create a system that encompasses continuous data protection, deduplication and cloud storage. Many vendors have various parts of such a solution but none to my knowledge has put it all together. Why CDP, deduplication and cloud storage? We have written about cloud problems in the past (eventual data consistency and what’s holding back [...]
There have been a number of Microsoft ESRP submissions this past quarter, especially in the over 5K mailbox category and they now total 12 submissions in this category alone. The above chart is one or a series of charts from our recent StorInt(tm) dispatch on Exchange performance. This chart displays an Exchange email counterpart [...]
Dude, Dell bought 3PAR to compete in the enterprise storage space with the likes of EMC, HP, HDS, IBM, Netapp and Oracle among others.
Micron just announced a new SSD drive based on their 34nm SLC NAND technology with some pretty impressive performance numbers. They used an independent organization, Calypso SSD testing, to supply the performance numbers: Random Read 44,000 IO/sec Random Writes 16,000 IO/sec Sequential Read 360MB/sec Sequential Write 255MB/sec Even more impressive considering this performance was generated using [...]
Was talking with a friend of mine this week and he said that strategic planning has been deemphasized these last few years mainly due to the economic climate. We have discussed this before (see Strategy, as we know it, is dead). Most companies are in a struggle to survive and had little time or resources [...]
By more effectively managing the data footprint across different applications and tiers of storage, it is possible to enhance application service delivery and responsiveness as well as facilitate more timely data protection to meet compliance and business objectives. To realize the full benefits of data footprint reduction, look beyond backup and offline data improvements to include online and active data.
