We also hope to determine how IOPS requirements related to other factors, including storage capacity and latency.
The IOPS.org representatives will participate in a telephone conference call bridge dubbed "Silent Night" starting around 6 a.m.
IOPS.org will also oversee a "shared trouble ticket system" that will use a Web-based tool to share information.
The peak band of IOPS required was between 10K and 100K, which is a good fit for SSDs.
In a recent report by Coughlin Associates and Objective Analysis a survey looks at the IOPS requirements for many enterprise applications.
This is because they can provide high IOPS needed in many applications.
It delivers up to 240, 000 4K read IOPS and up to 200, 000 4K write IOPS, with access latency of less than 50 microseconds.
At the SSSI meeting Coughlin Associates and Objective Analysis presented data from their survey and associated report on How Many IOPS do you really need.
We asked how many IOPS were required for this main application.
Interestingly enough, the distribution of this trend is significantly narrower than that of the IOPS requirement, even though IOPS is a function of latency and bandwidth.
The other volunteers on the team include representatives of Veridian, the Internet Operators Group (IOPS.org), Sematech and the SANS Institute, which represents 62, 000 systems administrators and security professionals.
To achieve equal performance on a write IOPS basis utilizing hard disk drives would require over 400 drives, 36U of rack space and consume more than 300 times the power.
Nimble Storage makes a hybrid HDD and SSD storage systems that allows customers to scale to hundreds of terabytes and hundreds of thousands of IOPS in a single storage cluster, according to the company.
At this week's briefing Ira Richter, executive director of IOPS.org, said his organization of ISPs has lined up about 25 people who will be participating in various activities to monitor the date-change transition period.
The full report will explain the need for IOPS for various applications, and will map further survey results in a way that provides deeper insight into the various tradeoffs of capacity, IOPS, and latency.
" In addition, the company statement noted, "STEC believes that Seagate's action is a desperate move to disrupt how aggressively customers are embracing STEC's Zeus-IOPS technology and changing the balance of power in enterprise storage.
Most of our quantitative questions were banded by orders of magnitude, to make it as simple as possible for the respondents to answer: The respondent could choose one of a number of bands, from 10-100 IOPS, or 101-1, 000 IOPS, etc.
World's First 480GB mSATA Solid-State Drive: Mushkin's 480GB Atlas mSATA Solid State Drive, built on the SandForce SF-2281 SSD processor with unthrottled IOPS, was first announced at Mushkin's December 4, 2012 press event, and will be officially released at CES 2013.
ENGADGET: Mushkin launches 'next generation' USB 3.0 drive, promises 300MBs read/write speeds
Their survey showed that 62% of respondents have SSDs deployed in their data centers, 63% plan to add more SSDs within one year, just 5% believe that SSDs provide a competitive advantage, whiel 60% cite higher IOPS and faster response time while 56% say that less than 50% of their business-critical applications are currently supported by SSDs.
