WikitipTips about incorporating flash into storage arraysEMC’s DMX customers should identify the applications that can benefit from flash-based SSD and begin testing the capability. However, users should be aware that questions remain regarding the durability and importantly the serviceability of these devices. Despite being 30X the price of conventional storage, users should evaluate tier-0 not necessarily based on cost/MB, but cost per I/O. Non-DMX customers should wait to understand competitive responses, which should be forthcoming. In and of itself, the inclusion of SSD is not a reason to incur subsystem switching costs. |
Featured Case Study
Virtualization Energizes Cal State UniversityJohn Charles is the CIO of California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) and Rich Avila is Director, Server & Network Operations. In late 2007 they were both looking down the barrel of a gun. The total amount of power being used in the data center was 67KVA. The maximum power from the current plant was 75kVA. PG&E had informed them that no more power could be delivered. They would be out of power in less than six months. A new data center was planned, but would not be available for two years. |

Featured How-To Note |
Storage Virtualization Design and DeploymentA main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center. | |||
