SUPPLEMENT SSD
IBM
IBM offers Solid State Drives (SSD) in all their storage tiering systems. Starting at the entry level with IBM DS3000 up to the high end or enterprise class the system like IBM DS8000 offers a huge performance boost when using SSD. For virtualization solutions like the new IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM SAN Volume Controller customers have choice with configuration and are able to run SSD. Overall, running SSD technology delivers value in your Storage Area Network, you get a broad tiering architecture. Automatic and transparent data placement for a perfect SSD utilization is part of our products as well.
SSD are integrated in our System x and BladeCenter portfolio. The importance of using SSD is growing very fast in this area. IBM offers SSD, SSD adapters and eXFlash solutions. But there is a difference for solutions like boot functions, entry-class and high-end applications.
provide consistently low latency with persistent storage, as is often needed for mission-critical databases.
And NetApp’s Flash Cache combined with hard disk drives is a smart alternative to SSDs when your workload is random read intensive and frequently used, or when “hot” data is less predictable, such as for server and desktop virtualization, e-mail, files shares, and home directories.
The bottom line is that unified storage offers the flexibility to use solid state technology in more ways without investing in different platforms and training multiple experts.

NetApp offers a range of media from high-capacity SATA disk drives to high-performing SAS disk drives, plus extreme performance options using solid state technology (SSDs). Our extreme performance SSDs
At the forefront of leading-edge manufacturing technology, Toshiba offers enterprise-class solid state drives (SSDs) designed to support the market’s demand for higher performance, endurance, and lower power consumption in mission critical, enterprise applications.
The MKx001GRZB enterprise-class SSD represents the highest level of a tiered storage architecture that enables organizations to effectively tune the performance, capacity, and reliability of their storage environments. The MKx001GRZB is offered in capacities of 100GB, 200GB, and 400GB* and designed for compatibility and ease of integration into new or existing tier-0 enterprise storage systems, including servers, direct-attached storage, and network-attached storage.
The new 2.5-inch small form factor drives utilize the latest 32 nanometer (nm) enterprise grade single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash memory and 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. The Toshiba SSD delivers performance that outpaces competing enterprise- class SSDs, with random sustained 90,000 read and 16,400 write IOPS** and sequential sustained 500MB/s read and 250MB/s write throughput. Combined with a low power requirement of only 6.5 watts at operation, the Toshiba SSD also delivers an industry-leading power efficiency rating of 13,800 IOPS/watt.
Members of SNIA the Solid State Storage Initiative The SSSI is responsible for coordinating and managing all activities within the SNIA related to solid state storage, including those for education, technical development, business development, marketing and implementation. In addition, the SSSI collaborates with other organizations and initiatives to further the dialogue on solid state storage as well as leverage the SNIA International organization to promote solid state storage on a global scale.
