硬盘时日不多:ssd(固体硬盘)今年Q3将首先在企业级市场开始淘汰硬盘

企业级应用方面,日前ssd在价格上也不输机械硬盘,性能和其它方面优势相当大。

硬盘企业现在在企业级应用方面面临生存危机

Start-up to offer SSDs for enterprise arrays

By Kevin Komiega

March 3, 2008—The argument against deploying solid-state disk (SSD) devices on a large scale has always been one of cost, but there is a start-up with a plan to put a new class of high-performance SSD storage devices into enterprise storage arrays at a price that competes with that of traditional hard disk drives.

Pliant Technology recently announced it has received $8 million in Series A funding to drive the development of a new class of SSDs for the enterprise market. The company is currently developing a line of Enterprise Flash Drive (EFD) devices designed to deliver significantly higher levels of performance while meeting the growing need for increased energy efficiency and reliability in the enterprise.

Pliant CEO Amyl Ahola says hard-drive performance has leveled off and is creating serious issues in enterprise data centers. "People have to significantly overprovision hard drives and are putting in two, three, or four times more capacity than they really need just to meet performance requirements. They are paying significant penalties for hard drives and everything that comes with them."

Ahola contends the cost of SSDs has dropped enough to make them a viable technology for enterprise storage arrays, and the integration of SSDs into disk arrays could lead to a re-definition of how storage systems are designed.

"System caches are primarily designed to solve hard drive performance problems. With SSDs, there is no need for cache. Cache is expensive so there is the potential for real cost savings," says Ahola. "Users are putting pressure on systems integrators and storage vendors o do something about the performance problem. The answer is a semiconductor storage device."

According to Ahola, the cost of Pliant's products "will map with what is happening in the flash storage market."

However, Ahola says Pliant is not out to replace hard drives, but to pair high-capacity drives with speedy EFDs to handle high-performance applications.

"Our initial products will look like hard drives and plug into a typical slot in a rack that a hard drive would. They will have the same interface and will be compatible with existing software," says Ahola.

Pliant is on schedule to produce alpha and beta testing units this summer, with general availability of production units in the fall. The EFDs will be sold through OEM partners.

Ahola, formerly the CEO of TeraStor and a vice president at both Seagate and Control Data, is joined on the executive team by industry veterans such as Jim McCoy, co-founder of Maxtor and Quantum, and former Fujitsu executives Mike Chenery, Doug Prins, and Aaron Olbrich.

According to Barry Eggers, general partner of Lightspeed Venture Partners, the lead investor in Pliant's funding round, the company's approach to SSD technology exceeds the performance of existing solutions.

"Rotating disk drives, one of the last bastions of moving parts in the data center, will start to feel the heat as flash-based solutions reach new levels of performance and reliability for the enterprise," says Eggers. "Flash-based storage offers better performance, higher densities, and lower power requirements. However, existing SSD solutions have largely been relegated to niche applications. Pliant's EFD will offer the level of performance and efficiency gains that we believe will help propel flash technology into the enterprise mainstream."

夸张!还是夸张!
skyx已经说过了,要看原文,我不得不用上我那poor English,
Start-up to offer SSDs for enterprise arrays
硬盘时日不多:ssd(固体硬盘)今年Q3将首先在企业级市场开始淘汰硬盘
似乎不是一个意思。后来再仔细想想,“逐步淘汰”真是一个很妙的组合,耸人听闻而又滴水不漏。只要承认固态硬盘最终会淘汰硬盘,只要市场上已经有固态硬盘,“逐步淘汰”就是成立的。

再看看,不过某个公司准备开条生产线,在顺便打出个新闻稿而已。

其实,这根本不算啥新闻,从几年前闪存进入市场,就可以说
固态存储已经逐步淘汰硬盘

Eggers是谁?general partner of Lightspeed Venture Partners, the lead investor in Pliant's funding round,

你去搜搜希捷ceo说过啥,我大概记得一句,“硬盘过时了?去问问三星日立,谁要出售硬盘部门我马上买下来”,针锋相对的语言多了。

这些能作什么很严肃的依据?他拿什么数据出来了么?

不管那个有名的家伙说的,不管有没有凭据,价格不下来,我们就不买,我们只追求实惠。
说这话是想提醒一下,不要盲目跟风,就算是趋势,也不是后天,老百姓在没有感受到切实利益之前,不会采取非理智的消费行为,除非你是富婆。我们眼睛盯着,钞票捂着,该出手时才出手,理智消费,理性生活。

问题是,他们用的是很low end的SSD,速度远比不上台式机硬盘。优势就是安静和省电而已。skyx mm最好用用能买到的比台式机硬盘贵5倍以内的ssd,看看他糟糕的性能再讲话

唉,磁带机当时也面临磁盘的挑战,不是照样活下来了。.com如火如荼的时候,大家几乎一致认为以后不会有实体店了,不会有实体合同了。全部都是b2b,b2c,c2c。门户网站出现的时候,大家认为专业网站肯定要死亡。Browser出现的时候,所有人都认为单机程序过时了,甚至C/S程序都过时了(很多说这些话的人,连B/S是C/S的一种特例这个事实都不知道)。
但是,现在不是都还通通活下来,而且各自有各自的发展。skyx mm,话可不能太绝对哦。

skyx在召唤我?原谅我迟到了

他们作闪存生意了?能说明什么呢?无非就是闪存赚钱而已,谁会否认闪存或固态硬盘会赚钱?
但是跟你的标题有什么关系呢?

说实在的,你的标题本来就是正确的废话。时日不多,逐步淘汰,完全是抒情。除了耸人听闻有多少有价值的信息呢?
Start-up to offer SSDs for enterprise arrays
我英文很烂,不过人家这个标题应该是
开始向企业级市场提供固态硬盘
人家说了个开头,你就看到了结尾。。。
