Enterprise Reliability, Solid State Speed
The SSD is gaining rapid acceptance in storage arrays, thanks to its extremely high performance. Unfortunately, the most widely adopted approach to using them – putting SSDs into a system designed around HDDs – ends up crippling the SSDs’ performance while cheating the user of much that the SSDs have to offer. By the same token, many solutions to protect data and make it more reliable and highly available are also designed for slower media, not high performance SSDs. As a result, many enterprises are not only limiting their SSD performance, but also increasing their risks by purchasing SSD solutions that are not optimized for high performance, high availability, or data protection.
