Is SSDz Ready for Enterprise Cloud Computing Systems.

As we can see SSDs are climbing up there nearing HD

Page 8
SSD units are forecasted to
grow at 86% cagr during the
2010-14 time frame.

Page 19, We extend life here -
• The ability to erase slows down after a
number of P/E Cycles.
• If NAND Memory block fails to erase,
Controller is notified and another block
from spares is used instead
• But there’s no loss of data, so a failed
NAND block does not pose a problem.
• Eventually devices will run out of spares
• The point where the % failing exceed
number of spares is the most Basic
Endurance Limit

Page 25 first bullet-point
Page 28 good match for Caching, which takes you right back up to page 7 SSD 'Temp Tables'

Page 33, Fast I/O

Page 36/39, note database needs n query, Nunchi will need this.
Improving Query Response Time
• Cost effective way to improve Query response time for a given number
of users or servicing an increased number of users at a given response
time is best served with use of SSDs or Hybrid (SSD + HDDs)
approach, particularly for Database and Online Transaction Applications
