- editor's comments:- October 2011 - Jim Handy, founder of
Objective Analysis, is in my opinion, one of just a handful of SSD analysts
worldwide who have put years of work into understanding the
SSD market and who truly
appreciate and understand its varied complexities. If you're going to spend
money on an SSD market analyst, opinion or report - you'd be nuts not to include
his company in your shortlist.

In September 2007 - Objective Analysis
published a 110 page report called -
the
Solid State Disk Market: A Rigorous Look to their offering. (This was the
company's 1st major SSD report - but not the 1st by the author.)
In
August 2008 -
Objective
Analysis published a new report (price $5,000) called - "Solid State
Drives in the Enterprise".
In September 2008 - at
DISKCON
USA
Jim
Handy founder of Objective Analysis presented a paper called
Why and
How SSDs are Economical (pdf)
In April 2010 -
Objective
Analysis published a new 104 page market report -
Data
Centers Drive Major SSD Growth (
$5,000)
which concludes that "the stunning growth of
SSDs in enterprise servers
and storage systems is only going to get stronger."
Objective
Analysis finds that the enterprise SSD market is likely to approach $4 billion
in revenues by 2015, nearly 17x times that of 2009, while unit shipments
will increase by 50x during that period to over 4 million units. |

| "Objective Analysis
anticipates that many SSD makers will convert from proprietary controllers to
3rd party controllers,
and most NAND flash makers fall into this category. Although the LSI
acquisition (of SandForce) is unlikely to accelerate this process, this
conversion will occur relatively soon." |

Acquires SandForce." | | |

| Editor:-
StorageSearch.com was the
world's 1st publication to provide continuous editorial coverage and analysis
of SSDs (in 1998) and in the years which have followed we've led the market
through many interesting and confusing times. |

If you often find yourself
explaining to your VC,
lawyer or non technical BBQ guests why you spend so much time immersed in SSD
web pages - and need a single, simple, not very technical reference to
suggest - this may be the link they need. | | | |
