IBM's "solid
Recently, IBM announced a new combination of software for intelligent data management, configuration, hardware platform of new storage semiconductor technology to help its customers improve significantly in the solid state disk (SSD) responsiveness while reducing costs. Based on testing of IBM's New can be increased up to 8 times the performance, reduced by about 80% of the stored physical footprint and reduce energy consumption by 90%.


solid-state disk similar to MP3 players flash memory technology, but more advanced and more. Unlike traditional storage devices, SSD has no moving parts and the rotating disk, can reach 20,000 times the data transfer on the other hand, while traditional hard disk per second data transfer of approximately 200 times. Compared to other providers Solid State Disk, IBM integrates the use of their own hardware, software and expertise of R & D, demonstration of more efficient technology flash memory.


IBM's strong portfolio of storage products includes a series of State improved software tools that can help customers migrate from the DSS, monitoring and deployment of dynamic data, to maximize value. For example, the use of IBM Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem (DFSMS) provides intelligent data functions deployment, customers can IBMz DS8000 series and the environment to achieve accurate data on deploying SSDs. Again, in the final configuration of the line of SSD products PowerSystems, IBM offers SSD balancing software tool that allows system administrators to frequently accessed data (or thermal data) to move the disc semi-conductors, to be less access to transfer data on the hard traditional cold. This approach takes full account of most of the customers and the use of SSD and traditional hard heterogeneous mixed environmental needs.


This product for more important information-sensitive industries, through the use of database software IBMDB2, IBM SSD performance can be significantly improved 8-fold, to more quickly check the credit, financial analysis and detection fraud. IBM also expanded the application of solid-state disk, following the application server SystemX, and still PowerSystems and DS8000 storage systems using SSD products.


By using this new technology, IBM can help customers more quickly manage and analyze critical information while reducing costs:


A DS8000 storage system used, and run DB2forzOS and banking institutions of SAP can improve their business performance over 30% and 60% while decreasing the physical area of memory, reduced by over 70% energy consumption. improved performance and lower energy costs will help companies better manage all the information, and discover more new business insight to advance customer demand forecasting.


flight reservations, ticketing or stock trading system depends on transaction processing in high-speed line (OLTP), to respond quickly to customer needs. And HHD (hybrid hard drives), compared the SSD data transfer waiting times at third, for those who deal with large enterprises online trading, performance may be the height of its activities to provide solid support.


IBM will expand to Power Series SSD Server
IBM today announced its new range of products support storage technology semiconductor, the new server configuration for energy conservation drive PowerSystems semiconductor, which allows more than traditional hard drives fast I / O response time to help customers optimize costs, performance and energy consumption. To ensure consistent performance, traditional use of disk storage capacity is usually 50% or less, but the server configuration in Power SSD has no case, can provide nearly 100% storage capacity, while maintaining excellent performance. A full range of POWER6 system (from bla.
