RamSan offering solid state disk at 400,000 IOPS
One of the things I really enjoy about shows like Storage Decisions is how many cool and new technologies are highlighted and the ability to see the products in action on the floor.
One booth that struck my attention is offering a product called RamSan and has some really impressive numbers.
- 400,000 IOPS per appliance
- 3,000 MB/sec bandwidth
- Up to 128GB storage
- 2-8 4Gb FC Links
For those of you that dont know what solid state disk is used for its very high performance disk that can be used for your most demanding applications. This could be databases, HPC or other in-house apps that require other demanding IO requirements.
Virtualization environments also play a potential role in this as well allowing you to utilize not only your standard 4Gb disk storage but allows you to move some volumes to solid state without the reconfiguration of your backend volumes.
I was also amazed to hear the pricing reductions over the past few years this is now looking as a very appealing solution for added performance to your san environment.
