In
November 2009 - Web-Feet
Research published a quarterly update to its annual report ($7,500
annually) on SSD Markets and Applications, (MS300SSD3-29).
This
update encompasses performance acceleration options in enterprise systems that
include DRAM,
PCIe attached, Flash
plus DRAM, rack mount
flash systems and SSDs.
This report (available as a single report or
part of the quarterly series subscription) explores where in the enterprise
architecture these systems and devices can be deployed and the attributes and
limitations of each. SSDs in client applications are examined in detail in 7
categories: Desktop, Nettop, Traditional Notebook, Ultra Low Power Notebook,
Netbook, Smartbook, and Mobile Internet Device with forecasts and SSD adoption
rates for each of these platforms.
Also examined are SSD and HDD
storage options for these platforms, with SSD and HDD pricing by capacity and
forecasts by quarter to 4Q 2010 and by year to 2015. In addition, Web-Feet
Research compiles aggregate SSD shipments and revenue by form factor and
application markets covering 1Q 2009 to 3Q 2009. SSD supplier profiles are
provided for vendors supplying products to the market place.
In March
2010 - Web-Feet
Research published a
quarterly
update to its 7th
annual
report on SSD Markets and Applications (annual price $9,000).
This
update focuses on the SSD
market dynamics for the year ending
2009 covering
the Client, Enterprise, and Commercial markets.
In March 2011
-
Web-Feet Research
said they expect the embedded flash drive market to approach $17 billion
annual revenue in 2015.
In Web-Feet 's usage - "EFDs provide
internal storage functions in mobile, consumer and some compute applications.
They are the non-removable Flash storage positioned between Flash cards, found
in many of these same applications, and SSDs. As the EFD evolves they take on
many controller features found in the low end
SSDs."
More details about their predictions are in their annual report (130+
pages, $6,500,

launches top 30 SSD oems SWOT service |
Editor:- April 18, 2011 -
Web-Feet Research
has recently added a quarterly SSD company
SWOT market analysis
service to its range of SSD reports.
Web-Feet says that given
the large number of players in the SSD market, it is not an easy task profiling
each company from a competitive position. Their new publication covers 30
notable companies with SWOT analysis along with product summaries and other
information to help compare companies with each other.
The tool
utilizes the Excel Filter feature to select specific companies and/or market
segment to assist users in their company analysis and provide additional
insights on their competitors.
The full SSD SWOT package subscription for 4 quarters costs $7.5K,
or individually the cost for the first quarter edition is $3.5K and $2.5K for
each quarter thereafter. Alternatively for customers who buy the SSD Markets
and Applications series (which costs $9K) the SWOT is bundled at no
charge.

New companies will be added
each quarter with SWOT analysis and pertinent data. For more info phone

SSD |
In 2016 there will be
just 3 types of
SSD in the datacenter.
One
of them doesn't exist yet - the bulk storage SSD.
It will start to
replace the last remaining strongholds of
hard drives in the
datacenter due to its unique combination of characteristics, huge storage
density, low running costs and operational advantages.
Bulk
storage SSDs will displace the last remaining hard drives in the enterprise
server market by 2020 - even if the price of a new hard disk drops to zero
and enterprise HDDs are given away free! |
 |
... |
The new business and
architectural models of the datacenter - how we get from here to there - and
the technical and problems which will need to be solved - are just some
of the ideas explored in this
visionary article. | | | |
