Key Findings of the Report:
* Customer and vendor interest in solid-state storage has risen to new heights, driven by its potential to fundamentally change how enterprises store performance-sensitive data.
* The high price of solid-state storage devices and the NAND flash media within them has so far kept the technology out of reach for most enterprise customers.
* Customers are presented with a variety of models to deploy solid-state storage. Server-, storage- and network-centric options provide choice, but are also creating confusion in the market.
* The raw performance of solid-state storage allows customers to reap ‘green’ benefits such as reduced expenditures in power, cooling and datacenter space as these devices reduce the requirement for conventional hard drives.
