Here's an article written by or
about Intel
Enterprise-wide
Deployment of Notebook PCs with Solid-State Drives
Kevin says he
chose this article because "It will give the reader an overview of the
benefits experienced by the enterprise after deploying notebooks with solid
state drives."
The article is a case study about the productivity benefits of using
SSD based notebooks instead of hard drive notebooks inside an enterprise
(Intel). Following an internal evaluation Intel found the benefits so "compelling"
that it decided to deploy up to 10,000 SSD notebooks to its own employees.

The SSD
Relapse: Understanding and Choosing the Best SSD - published by
AnandTech
Kevin says "This
is the latest in a long series of
reviews
that compare solid state drives and discusses the technology behind them.
Overall the series does a very good job educating the reader on what they need
to know when making a solid state drive purchase decision."
Editor:-
thanks Kevin for sharing your SSD links.

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.

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 -
