Finally storage tiering and the combinations of storage and memory are undergoing a revolution as flash memory and perhaps other solid state storage technology such as MRAM find niches in more and more devices.
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.
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.
In addition, as useful amounts of flash memory storage are now affordable, the ruggedness of flash memory and the ability to stack chips to provide slim package designs have made NAND flash the choice non-volatile storage technology for mobile devices.
In addition the higher costs of flash memory versus magnetic storage will probably limit the use of these storage devices to acceleration applications for some time to come.
This need, plus caching of frequently accessed content will drive the requirements for flash memory storage as an important tier in enterprise storage infrastructures.
Getting to that stage might mean combining self-assembly methods with lithography, or doing away with the head that reads the data-packed disk and instead creating a self-assembling solid-state system on the model of Flash memory storage used today.
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.
Considering the projected growth of the cloud storage market, the demand for speedy memory may be insatiable.
The updated model doubles the memory to 4GB RAM, expands the hard drive storage to 320GB, and packs a 6-cell battery with a rated life of 6 hours.
