- editor's comments:- April 2011 - SGI has bided its time and seems
to have chosen a different PCIe
SSD partner to the usual server suspects - having recently announced a low
cost million IOPS 1U server benchmark with
Virident Systems.
"Technical
computing needs to achieve the highest levels of performance, but also needs to
do so in an affordable package that can be managed within the limited space
available in most datacenters," said Bill Mannel, VP of product marketing
at SGI. "With the combination of SGI servers and the Virident tachIOn SSD,
we can achieve both of these goals to provide the most cost-effective and
high-performance SSD solution for our customers."
