- How does flash storage perform in the real world? - Demartek
aims to provide some answers by reporting on the performance tests
which it has carried out on SSD and hybrid systems from many of the leading
enterprise SSD companies in a session next month at the Flash Memory Summit (August
5).
Demartek says attendees will come away with reasonable estimates
of what they can expect in practice and the results also reveal additional
advantages of flash-based storage, with what Dennis Martin, President
- Demartek calls "happy side effects".

| Adding SSD software into
the architecture mix brings its own product multiplying factors. What does
a server node look like? How is it clustered or scaled? Is the server node
part of the storage? Is the server node a building block for all the storage?
Where should the storage live? How should it be tiered? |

Editor:- June 3, 2013 - Since the 1990s -
millions of SSD readers have gotten used to seeing the
image of a stagecoach
- dragged by choppers and driven by
mice - at the top of
web pages talking about the SSD market.
And in past graphics and
articles I've often used transport analogies and metaphors as part of the
narrative of heading towards the new storage frontier.
A more
conventional graphic of a coach with horses appears in a new blog today -
Horses,
Buggies and SSDs - by Dennis
Martin, President
Demartek who
believes "that the computer storage industry is in a similar transition
period to the one experienced in the transportation industry between 1900 and
1930, particularly as it relates to hard disk drive and solid state storage
devices." ...read
