Editor's note:- the SSD bookmark suggestions on the left
hand side of this page were originally published - September 2009
...1
year later:- September 24, 2010 - I got a follow up email from Kevin T Crow
saying he'd like to add these links.
Here's another article written
by or about Intel
Kstudy - Same Budget,
Better Performance - case study (pdf)
This shows how Intel's 2.5"
SSDs accelerated results for a budget constrained distance-learning academic
education center whose servers were supporting 7,000 students and their
(annual) 48 million logs in real-time. At the busiest times of the day reponse
times with the SSD accelerated system were 25x faster than the HDD based
servers - whose response times were becoming unacceptably slow - and sometimes
failing.
It also discusses how SSDs improved IT staff efficiency - as
the student population later quadrupled - and how
RAID rebuild times were
reduced from 12 hours on the old HDD array to 40 minutes in the new SSD system.
Here's
another SSD link...
SNIA
has set up a resource page to help users assess
total cost of
ownership factors for flash SSDs.
It includes a
spreadsheet
which was developed by Intel
and a supporting whitepaper -
