2. Solid Access Technologies Based in Newburyport, Mass., privately held Solid Access Technologies was incorporated in 2002, with a mission to lead the ultra-fast Solid State Disk category by adhering to a philosophy of reliance on industry standards in both sharable technology and the use of widely available components. Solid Access’s USSD products have won head-to-head customer benchmarks against all other popular Storage technology types worldwide, providing empirical data to the claim that Solid Access offers the fastest Storage technology in the world, using standard interfaces like Fibre Channel and Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS). With Headquarters in the Boston area and worldwide Research & Development and European Union Sales efforts located in Prague, Czech Republic, Solid Access focuses on global opportunities through direct selling efforts and via our Partners in North America, Latina America, Europe and Asia.

Table of Storage Technologies and key Metrics – Source Violin Memory Notes 1 - Metrics are all normalized as typical rackmount system statistics per U of height (1.75”) 2 - Latency and IOPs estimates assume same numbers of random reads and writes 3 - Latency and IOPs estimates assume 4K block sizes Technology Capacity (GB) Latency (µS) IOPs Cost / IOPs ($) Cost / GB ($) Capacity HDDs 2,500 12,000 600 13.3 3 Performance HDDs 700 7000 1,200 16.6 28 Flash SSDs 700 200 500 140 100 Flash SSDs (R/O) 700 45 50,000 1.4 100 DRAM SSD 250 3 200,000 0.5 400

16. TCO Comparison: HDD vs USSD – Universal State Solid Disk As Solid Access USSD I/O Accelerators provide tremendous IOPS and bandwidth performance, the devices provide significant CAPEX and OPEX benefits when used in conjunction with traditional storage arrays A transactional application using a typical 4K file size can expect 200 IOPS from a Hard Disk Drive, while the same files will produce 60,000 IOPS on a Solid Access USSD unit, a 300 times multiplier, or equal to 300 HDDs For immediate result and minimal cost re-directs all "hot files“ associated with a typical OLTP application to a Solid Access device (average 10 - 30 GB) 300 drive storage array with all associated hardware = $200,000 USD SSD unit = 90% less to provide a improve performance Storage array requires planned maintenance as well as expected drive failure replacements USSDs have zero maintenance requirements and no hard drives in the data path to replace, leading to additional savings
36. The issue is not the cost per GB, but the cost per device. How much is a particular user willing to pay for a storage device to get a particular job done? We have learned from corporate CIOs that they are willing to pay a 10-20% premium for a laptop with an SSD. Not all users are storage hungry. Corporate users such as road warriors, for instance need capacity of about 100GB to get their work done, and then are much more concerned with productivity and user experience. Why should I pay more per GB of SSD storage when I can pay less and get much more storage with an HDD?

38. Solid Access Success Story Professional Services Co., Midwest, USA Customer is a long time provider of photogrammetric mapping services. Key Issues Approximately 800 one GB files in use continuously Metadata latency issues File searches take 5-7 minutes each Significant labor productivity loss, as no other work can be accomplished before search completion Tier 1 RAID devices could not lower search times Solution 16 GB DRAM SSD applied to 160 TB database Searches now under 5 seconds; 95% reduction! Instant gain; no training, tuning or onsite visit Productivity gain almost $100K per year Existing system’s useful life greatly extended Payback for two units achieved in 3 months

Main page – no notes needed.
One of the concerns of the companies about this technology is volatility. To clarify, we can assure you will not lose your data in case of power storage problem because our optional UPS battery will secure the copy of the data into HD localized inside of our product if you don’t have a central UPS.
Reliability is much better than HDDs (<300K hours MTBF). não volátil significa que não precisa de energia para manter as informações armazenadas no chip.
Desde 2003 e usado... O preco era alta naquela epoca, somente que realmente necessitava speed usava a tecnologia. Precos cairam.
Total Cost of Ownership ... TCO é uma método útil para capturar os custos de uma decisão de TI. CAPEX é Capital Expenditure despesas de capital ou investimento em equipamentos e OPEX custos com a Manutenção
