Abstract

This tutorial provides an in-depth examination of the fundamental theoretical performance, capabilities, and limitations of NAND Flash-based Solid State Storage (SSS). The tutorial will explore the raw performance capabilities of NAND Flash, and limitations to performance imposed by mitigation of reliability issues, interfaces, protocols, and technology types. Best practices for system integration of SSS will be discussed. Performance achievements will be reviewed for various products and applications. Several examples of successful enterprise deployments with comparative performance and cost-performance will be presented.

Learning Objectives

Gain working knowledge of NAND Flash SSS types and deployments with associated performance capabilities
Understand the benefits and ROI of deploying SSS in different application spaces
Know key factors to explore with vendors while planning SSS deployment
