- editor's notes:- in October 2008 -
Rackable Systems said it will offer packaged arrays of flash SSDs using either
SLC from Intel or MLC for
"for low-write-rate environments."
The SSD-based server and
storage systems will be available for traditional data center configurations and
with the company's award-winning
ICE
Cube modular data center.
In May 2009 - Rackable Systems, Inc. acquired substantially
