- editor's comments:- November 2009 - among other things Macarthur
Stroud has published a report (price not mentioned) on the
SAN market in
Western Europe. They also have a bunch of IP storage architecture PDFs
(which I haven't seen) hiding behind a log-in wall.
Their website is
so badly designed that I'm guessing the phone is the main way they do business.
Despite that - and probably because of their local knowledge - they have an
impressive
customer list. |

Here's an article written by or
about Texas Memory Systems
Flash SSD Reliability (pdf)
Woody
Hutsell says he chose this article because Flash reliability is a topic of great
interest right now, and this paper approaches the subject in a unique and very
readable manner, starting at the chip level and working up through the board
level all the way to the enterprise architecture perspective.
Other SSD article suggestions...
Woody Hutsell says - "As
you know, the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) started a new group
last summer, called the Solid State Storage Initiative (SSSI). This new
organization has the ambitious goal of becoming a major advocacy group for solid
state storage. SSSI is starting to publish
research
papers on solid state storage topics. The first one,
Solid State
Storage 101 (pdf), is interesting for the fact that it is the outcome of a
collaboration between many companies who, in most other settings, would be
serious competitors."
Other SSD bookmark suggestions...
StatspackAnalyzer - is a website
where IT professionals can paste their Oracle statspacks or AWR reports and get
analyses and recommendations for storage performance improvements. (It's free to
use but registration is required.)
Woody Hutsell says he
recommends this bookmark because - "A key ingredient to greater SSD
adoption is a better understanding within the user communities of just how
important storage performance is to mission success. StatspackAnalyzer.com isn't
a large website, but it does have some information, a forum, and even the entire
Analyzer rules list available for comment and improvement."
Editor:- thanks Woody for sharing your SSD links.
