Sun Microsystems Announces SSD Product Plans
SANTA
CLARA, CA - June 4, 2008 - Sun Microsystems today announced it will
ship flash SSD products in its Solaris servers in the 2nd half of the year.
Sun is already shipping Solaris ZFS software optimized for SSD
technologies through the OpenSolaris community and is the first major systems
vendor to add an end-to-end Flash-based disk product line to its portfolio.
"Flash
SSD is the most exciting innovation to happen to system and storage design
in over a decade. By mid-2009, it will be in the majority of servers and deliver
more capacity than DRAM and far greater overall system performance and energy
efficiency," said John Fowler, executive VP, of Sun's Systems Group. "This
technology will completely change how server and storage infrastructure is
designed and deployed in enterprise data centers."
In the storage
industry, 2008 will prove to be a pivotal tipping point for Flash technology, as
the performance and reliability along with the price of SSD is expected to be
more attractive than Fibre Channel
hard drive technology.

Editor's
comments:- No surprises here. Sun has unique opportunities for exploiting
SSDs as I explained in my article
Why Sun Should
Acquire an SSD Company. That was published in 2004 in the
SPARC Product Directory - a
publication which is read by SPARC processor designers and marketers in Sun.
