Solid
Data Systems - editor mentions on STORAGEsearch.com
- editor's comments:- September 2011 - Solid Data Systems was a
pioneer in the network compatible RAM SSD market. Their first products in 1993
were SCSI SSDs and
they moved on to fibre-channel
SSDs in the late 1990s.
Solid Data Systems advertised here on
StorageSearch.com during
2007 and early
2008 - but it
looked like the company's product line wasn't keeping up with the high end of
the RAM SSD market - and was in danger of being made irrelevant by its
performance overlap with enterprise flash SSDs.
The last time I spoke
to the company in July 2010 they were still in business. But that may have
changed. In November 2010 -
OCZ
acquired
some of the fibre-channel controller technolog assets of Solid Data for
approximately $1 million.
Solid Data Systems - sample mentions in
SSD market
history
In 1999 -
Solid Data Systems
published a classic white paper
I/O
Dynamics Impact Analysis which discussed methodologies for analyzing server
apps bottlenecks and tuning SSD speedups - a theme later revisited in 2002 by
competitor Imperial
Technology - in their article called
Tuning SANs with SSDs.
In
November 2000 -
Solid Data Systems
published this article - Solid
State File-Caching for Performance and Scalability
- which discussed the declining performance (versus capacity) in new
generations of hard drives - and how SSDs could fill that gap.
In
July 2008 - Solid Data launched SSDGurus.com
- a blog focused on the use of RAM SSDs. ...2 years later:- however when
I looked the site was down. It's hard to maintain blogs - especially when
you're ranting against the sweeping tides of historical inevitability. For
wouldbe blogging marketers take a look at -
What's
the Call to Action on Your Blog? - by corporate blogging guru Debbie Weil - which
may get you rethinking yours.
In September 2009 -
Steve Topper, CEO of Solid Data Systems
commented on market perceptions about
RAM SSD versus
flash SSD positioning in a press release about the company's updated range
of FC compatible terabyte class
RAM SSDs.
In November 2010 -
OCZ
acquired
some of the fibre-channel controller technolog assets of Solid Data for
approximately $1 million.

| don't all PCIe SSDs
look pretty much the same? |
When you look at the
photos and headline specs for high speed PCIe SSDs - it's easy to come away with
the impression that they all look the same and have about the same performance.
After
all - how different can they be?
But don't let the experience of the
2.5" SSD market -
in which clusters of consumer SSD vendors use the
same or similar
controllers and hover
close together inpopular
(consumer) performance rankings - give you the wrong idea about
PCIe SSDs.
In
this market the performance limits and capabilities of the SSD aren't set by an
old hard disk interface
and package limitations.
In the PCIe market the products you get are
limited only by the imagination of the designers - tempered by the guesses of
marketers who are trying to predict the optimum (most salable) features for an
ideal SSD. |
