- editor's comments:-Among other things Google is one of many companies in
the SSD software market
and SSD enabled cloud
market, as well as being a big
dark matter user of
SSDs. It's one of the world's largest users of SSDs. Although Google has
used off the shelf SSDs from vendors like
Fusion-io - Google's
style in its server infrastructure has been to build its own servers from cheap
commodity parts. Therefore it was only a matter of time before they also carried
forward this concept to SSDs.
I was contacted by someone in the group
that designs custom servers in Google back in 2007 with questions about SSDs,
reliability and endurance.
A lot of big users were asking deep questions about
SSD reliability at
that time - which is one of the reasons that prompted me to devote more space to
this subject.
In an article called -
the
future of enterprise storage in January 2011 - I wrote about the trends
which would lead towards a market where the kind of smart data content
repurposing which companies like Google, Amazon, Apple and the BBC pioneered
- would become part of every day business for broadcasters. But it needs an
SSDcentric server model to get the best results. |

Retiring and retiering
enterprise DRAM was one of the big SSD ideas which took hold in the market in
2015.
Over 20 companies have already announced products for this
market among which are Memory1, 3DXPoint etc
But what are the
underlying reasons that will make it feasible for slower cheaper memory to
replace most of the future DRAM market without applications noticing? |

In November
2009 -
Google
opened its doors to developers who wanted to work with
Chrome OS - a new operating
system for tablets.
In the opening video of the
Chrome
OS blog we learned that the architects of the new OS were "obsessed
with speed".
Therefore the new netbook OS was designed from
the ground up to support only
flash SSDs as the
default mass storage.
Google said - there is no room in this OS
for outmoded 50 year old
hard disk technology. | | |

"I often say to
enterprise SSD marketers - it's easy to create a list of the top 10 oems or user
sites which already use SSDs - but no one's got more than a small fraction of
the list of future SSD user heavyweights - because they don't exist yet - or if
they do - they're in stealth mode." |
