Abstract

It is well known that storage bandwidth has not been able to keep up with the tremendous increase in CPU speed, Memory throughput and CPU IO throughput. That has been changing of late as such technologies as Flash have made dramatic increases in throughput and IOPS and have done so in smaller densities and with less power dissipated then HDDs. This talk will explore the state of the art of high performance storage including direct attach as well as SAN attached and how such storage is a powerful accelerator for many types of applications like analytics. The state of the art in endurance and performance with such technology will also be discussed.
