talks about blurring memory and storage |
Editor:- May 19, 2011 - Dataram's Chief
Technologist Jason
Caulkins has written a new blog -
Memory and Storage Technologies Begin
to Blur in which he says new nv memories may render legacy hard disk
interfaces obsolete by enabling most storage to fit in servers.
Jason
is no stranger to this concept having designed a
PCI SSD - called
the Rocket Drive 10 years ago. But Dataram's current
SSD appliance is very
much a fibre-channel SAN
animal - designed to work alongside
legacy installed RAID
arrays. Jason says in his blog the key enabler to these new architectures will
be software. |

My
own view is
that legacy hard disk DAS and NAS storage interfaces will continue to
inter-operate with PCIe SSDs (and new faster SSD interfaces) even in a totally
solid state world. I think storage in a complex enterprise will always be
heirarchical - because different types of SSD will be optimized for different
functions - and it won't be economic to use a one type fits all deployment. | | | | |
