- editor:- February 2011 - I asked Promise what it's doing in the SSD
market and got this useful response from their European Marketing Director -
Albrecht
Hestermann.
Dear Zsolt,
Thank you very much for your reply and interest in Promise.
You are raising a very important point. The requests from the market
for high performance solutions are increasing dramatically due to the fact that
IT centers are using more and more server virtualization systems like VMWare,
HyperV and XEN. These operating systems are generating a very high load in terms
of IOPs, which is always a challenge for a storage vendor to offer the "right"
product configuration.
Promise is addressing this and continually assessing the needs of our
customers together with our network of educated partners. Our
VTrak
RAID storage systems (even the Ex10 as well as the new Ex30) can be equipped
with SSDs, SAS HDD and SATA HDDs in the same chassis.
Here we have the
opportunity to help the customer achieve the best balance using each
technology's benefits: for example SSDs as cache, SAS as primary storage and
SATA/SAS nearline as archive and online backup. This means we not only meet the
requirements of customer's environment but also the demands of their budgets.
I'd be very happy to tell you more about the adoption of SSDs by our
customers, as well as talk a little more about our products and technologies. In
particular, our new storage virtualization platform VTrak S3000, brings even
more flexibility and power into storage environments than just a "simple"
RAID storage system.
Please do not hesitate to contact us in case of any questions.
Thanks and nice regards.
Albrecht
