Watch the webinar On Demand “Three Keys To Choosing The Right Server Flash" and get an exclusive white paper.
Flash Solid State Disks (SSD) installed inside a server have become the first stop for data center managers looking to solve various storage performance challenges. And their interest has not gone unnoticed. In fact, the response of the flash supplier community has been so strong that many IT professionals now feel like they’re ‘adrift in a sea of server-side performance choices’.
Join experts on the Flash SSD market from Storage Switzerland and Micron to help you sort through these choices and find the right solution for your environment. In this webinar, you will learn about:
1. The Importance of Understanding the Workload First
There are a variety of workloads for which the IT Professional may be asked to improve storage performance. Understanding those workloads is key to determining which type of flash software and hardware solution will provide the most performance increase for the lowest price.
2. The Importance of Selecting the Right Flash Use Method
Once the workload is understood then the right method for using the flash hardware investment can be determined, either static placement of data on the SSD or some form of caching. If caching is selected then it is important to understand how the cache will be used, as read-only, as write-through or write-back. Each of these methods impacts the flash hardware selection and the level of flash redundancy that is required to keep data safe.
3. The Importance of Selecting the Right Flash Hardware
Once the workload is understood and the use method of the flash hardware has been determined then the right flash SSD can be selected. The choices again are varied, including PCIe SSD, Server-class SSD and Client-class SSD. Each of these SSD types has their place so selecting the right one is critical to maximizing performance for the investment.
Join us as flash experts from Storage Switzerland and Micron walk you through how to make these three key decisions.
