Google's innovative search technologies connect millions of
people around the world with information every day. Founded in 1998 by Stanford
Ph.D. students Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google today is a top web property in
all major global markets. Google's targeted advertising program, which is the
largest and fastest growing in the industry, provides businesses of all sizes
with measurable results, while enhancing the overall web experience for users.
Google is headquartered in Silicon Valley with offices throughout the Americas,
Europe, and Asia. For more information, visit www.google.com

- editor mentions on STORAGEsearch.com
- editor's comments:- you wouldn't easily guess from looking at their web
site that Google also offers
hardware
storage search appliances for all sizes of business.
Beyond the
storage market - in the wider world of the web...
In my
unoriginal view (shared by millions of others) - Google is currently the best
web search-engine. But it's a long way from being perfect. And that's unlikely
to change.
Online publishers have a love hate relationship with Google.
.
- We love it when their search results rewards our content and brings us
readers.
.
- But Google is also the #1 competitor for our customers' web advertising
dollars.
In the long term - as Google invests in more technologies
which simplify the creation of online content - Google itself becomes the owner
of more "content".
One of the things I like about Google,
which I only discovered recently (in 2009) is how well its
translation service
works for our web pages. Thousands of readers for whom English is not their
working language - use this to read our content.
The only serious long
term risk factor factor for Google would be if people stopped using the web.
Hard to believe. Let's hope it won't happen till after I retire.

| the Flash SSD Performance
Roadmap |
A reader asked me a very
good question.
"Is there an industry roadmap for future flash
SSD performance?"
That prompted other questions like... How fast
are flash SSDs going to be in 2009? or 2012? What are the technology factors
which relate to throughput and IOPS? And how much faster will they be than
today.
There wasn't a simple answer I could give at the time. Clues lay
scattered all across this web site
and in my many discussions about the market...
But I agreed there
should be a single place on the web where these answers could be found. |

Forget Moore's Law. That
gives you the wrong answer, and this article explains why.
