Here's an article written by or
about Dolphin
Integrating
Solid State Storage in a PCI Express Clustering Interconnect (pdf)
Tim
Miller says he chose this article because "Using PCIe SSDs as Direct
Attached Storage (DAS) is a hot topic these days. This paper describes
extending the benefits "outside the box" to e-PCIe SSD (external) by
detailing a number of new e-PCIe SSD usage models using Dolphin's
StorExpress.
This includes simple DAS, with virtualization and HA support for up to 2TB for
slot limited rack or blade servers to the ability for integration in PCIe
cluster environments for multi-server connectivity and eventually shared storage
creating 'networked' DAS - the flexibility of SAN, simplicity of DAS and the
performance of SSD."

Design
Tradeoffs for SSD Performance - written by Nitin Agrawal (University of
Wisconsin) and Vijayan Prabhakaran, Ted Wobber, John D. Davis, Mark Manasse and
Rina Panigrahy at Microsoft
Research presented at the annual
USENIX conference.
Tim
Miller says "This paper is a useful primer on technical trade-offs for SSD
performance appropriate for non-engineers who want to have a foundation of
knowledge."

're-debate' of SAN vs. DAS takes on a new dimension with PCIe SSD and now e-PCIe
