This model is driving the growth of digital storage in data centers and thus the sale of hard disk drives, tape storage and flash memory used in enterprise storage tiers for these data centers.
FORBES: Changing Digital Storage Requirements for Clouds and Mobile Devices
In a recent report by research firm IHS iSuppli, the sale of solid-state NAND flash drives are projected to increase by 400% in 2011 driven by increasing adoption of tablets which primarily use flash memory for data storage.
In developing early data processing systems, the high cost of memory and storage led to a premium being placed on the efficiency of application data access and retrieval.
In other words, instead of using memory as a temporary storage space for data retrieved from disk, memory can play a more primary role.
We did some calculations on what would happen if you redesigned a data center with memory-based storage systems.
FORBES: IT Revolution: How In Memory Computing Changes Everything
PCIe is becoming popular for flash memory storage devices since it offers much faster data rates than traditional SATA , SAS or Fibre Channel interfaces, which flash memory storage devices can make use of.
FORBES: The Enormous Flash: New Opportunities and Announcements for Solid State Storage
The increased use of flash memory storage has lead to new storage interfaces that can take advantage of the higher data rates that NAND flash based digital storage can provide.
This piece will discuss Nimble Storage, Proximal Data, Fusion-io and IBM flash memory hardware and software enterprise offerings.
ZettaCore, in Denver, aims to boost memory chip performance by using molecules to do ultradense, low-power data storage.
With ultra-fast performance and virtually infinite endurance, this memory-of-the-future is broadly hailed as the ideal universal data storage technology.
Using a combination of HDD and flash memory in either a hybrid HDD or a dual storage notebook computer, where frequently used data (and possibly the operating system and application software) is kept in the flash memory, while the bulk of user content is kept on the HDD, has been shown to provide about 80% of the performance improvements of a pure SSD-based computer.
New storage systems are increasing using flash memory for system acceleration, such as faster transaction processing and data base searches.
The development and implementation of new storage and memory architectures, combined with evolved storage system management can play an important role in controlling the growth of data center power use even as the total amount of content in data centers grows.
