High Performance SSDs for SMEs |
Houston, TX -
October 16, 2006 - Texas Memory Systems today unveiled the RamSan-300
- a high-performance entry-level solid state disk.
The new
RamSan-300 connects via 2 to 4
Fibre Channel ports and
can sustain over 200,000 random IOPS and 1.5 gigabytes per second of
bandwidth. The RamSan-300's 16- to 32-gigabytes of DDR-RAM is designed to
accelerate performance- critical log files and indices of large databases and/or
to store a small database. The system includes a new generation of firmware
that supports up to 1,024 LUNs (the highest of any solid state disk).
Additionally, the RamSan-300 is covered under Texas Memory Systems' application
performance guarantee.
Pricing starts at $28,000 for a 16GB configuration.
The RamSan-300
allows database managers to increase the number of concurrent users and
simultaneous transactions without adding servers,
RAM, or monolithic
RAID. Unlike
hard disk based
storage, solid state disk
systems are purchased as performance accelerators, not as data repositories.
The RamSan-300's reliability features include redundant
hot-swappable power supplies, redundant batteries, redundant Fibre Channel
ports, mirrored hard drives for data backup and Texas Memory Systems' unique
Active Backup technology.
Additionally, the RamSan-300 includes IBM's Chipkill technology, which helps
prevent data corruption, even if an entire memory chip is lost. It is also the
first solid state disk with Soft Error Scrubbing - a technology that
automatically scrubs soft memory errors preventing unnecessary system errors and
downtime.
"SMEs have similar needs as larger enterprises when it comes to
adding users and boosting the number of transactions their databases can manage,"
said Richard Hilken, CEO of
UK VAR
Reactive Data. "However, until
now medium enterprises struggled to afford the solid state disk technology used
by their larger competitors. The new RamSan-300 solid state disk from Texas
Memory Systems changes this. It is the first truly enterprise-class SSD that is
sized and priced for medium-size business."
