(1) The document discusses solid state drives (SSDs) and their suitability for enterprise and cloud storage systems. It covers SSD performance advantages over HDDs, challenges regarding endurance and reliability, and best practices for enterprise SSD usage.
(2) Key topics include choosing between SLC and MLC SSDs, new intelligent SSD controllers that meet enterprise requirements, and using storage tiering software to improve performance.
(3) The document provides an in-depth look at the SSD market and how different segments are suited to various interface types like PCIe, SAS, SATA, and Fibre Channel.
The UniPlex 1000 is a 24-bay NVMe JBOF that connects to hosts via PCIe, supporting up to 64 GB/s throughput and 16 million IOPS. It comes in locked and unlocked versions, with the locked version containing pre-installed drives and the unlocked allowing any drives. The JBOF can expand into an appliance using I/O drawers and storage controllers, and start small with a single JBOF then grow by connecting multiple JBOFs and tiers of storage.
SSD stands for solid state drive, which stores computer data without magnetic disks. SSDs have three main advantages over traditional hard disk drives: lower power usage, faster data access speeds, and greater reliability. While SSDs are more expensive than HDDs and have less storage capacity currently, the price of SSDs is decreasing as the technology advances. SSDs use no moving parts compared to HDDs, making them more durable and less prone to failure over time.
The document discusses solid state drives (SSDs) and how they differ from traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). SSDs use solid state memory like NAND flash instead of spinning disks, so they have no moving parts. This makes SSDs faster, more durable, quieter, and more energy efficient than HDDs. However, SSDs currently have higher costs and lower storage capacities than HDDs. The document covers the history, components, advantages, disadvantages, applications, and performance comparisons of SSDs versus HDDs.
Today Micron announced the production of 8GB DDR4 NVDIMM, the company¡¯s first commercially available solution in the persistent memory category. Persistent memory delivers a unique balance of latency, bandwidth, capacity and cost, delivering ultra-fast DRAM-like access to critical data and allowing system designers to better manage overall costs. With persistent memory, system architects are no longer forced to sacrifice latency and bandwidth when accessing critical data that must be preserved.

What is 3D XPoint?
The explosion of connected devices and digital services is generating massive amounts of new data. For this data to be useful, it must be stored and analysed very quickly. 3D XPoint? technology is an entirely new class of non-volatile memory that can help turn immense amounts of data into valuable information in real time. With up to 1,000 times lower latency and exponentially greater endurance than NAND, 3D XPoint technology can deliver game-changing performance for big data applications. Its ability to enable high-speed, high-capacity data storage close to the processor creates new possibilities for system architects and promises to enable entirely new applications.
The document summarizes Intel's new Solid-State Drive Data Center Family for PCIe. It provides an overview of Intel's SSD product families for different market segments. It then focuses on the new Data Center Family for PCIe, highlighting its native PCIe interface, performance benefits over SAS/SATA, endurance, reliability features, and product lineup. Finally, it lists upcoming events where Intel will promote the new data center SSD family.
It is no longer enough to focus our efforts on networks and endpoints. As IT changes continue to occur, organizations need to keep pace and advance their security by focusing on the data itself through the development of a data-centric security program.
A comprehensive data-centric security strategy includes the following 10 key elements:
1 - Data discovery
2 - Data classification
3 - Data tagging & watermarking
4 - Data loss prevention
5 - Data visibility
6 - Encryption strategies
7 - Enhanced gateway controls
8 - Identity management
9 - Cloud access
10 - Continuous education
This presentation contains a synopsis of each element. As organizations develop a data-centric security program, it is important to assess current maturity levels and determine which areas need to be prioritized and remediated first.
Database performance tuning for SSD based storageAngelo Rajadurai
?
Databases are a key part of any application. The storage subsystem contributes most to performance of the database. In recent days, new storage technologies like Solid State Storage (SSD) and high performance drives are becoming cheaper and more accessible, but it takes a lot of planning to use these technologies in a cost effective way for best price-performance.
Solid state drives use solid state memory like NAND flash instead of spinning disks. They have faster access times than hard disk drives. An SSD contains a controller, flash memory, and an interface. The controller manages read and write operations to the flash which is organized into pages and blocks. SSDs are found in devices like thumb drives, memory cards, and embedded systems. They provide benefits like faster startup, access, and application loading compared to HDDs. SSDs are used where fast storage access is important, like financial trading systems.
This document provides an overview of Ceph, a distributed storage system. It defines software defined storage and discusses different storage options like file, object, and block storage. It then introduces Ceph, highlighting that it provides a unified storage platform for block, object, and file storage using commodity hardware in a massively scalable, self-managing, and fault-tolerant manner. The document outlines Ceph's architecture including its components like OSDs, monitors, RADOS, RBD, RGW, and CephFS. It also discusses various access methods and use cases for Ceph like with OpenStack.

Benchmarks, performance, scalability, and capacity what s behind the numbers...james tong
?
Baron Schwartz gave a presentation on analyzing database performance beyond surface-level metrics and benchmarks. He discussed how ideal benchmarks provide full system specifications and metrics over time to understand response times and throughput. Little's Law and queueing theory can predict concurrency, response times, and capacity given arrival rates and service times. While tools like Erlang C model queues, the assumptions must be validated. True scalability is nonlinear due to bottlenecks, and debunking performance claims requires examining raw data.
The document discusses various stability antipatterns that can cause systems to fail. It describes issues that can arise from integration points, database calls that hang, unexpected failures from external systems, traffic surges overwhelming a system, attacks from users, unbalanced capacities across systems, unbounded result sets, and more. It provides examples of each antipattern and emphasizes the importance of monitoring dependencies, using timeouts, testing with realistic data volumes, and implementing circuit breakers and other proven patterns to prevent failures from cascading across systems and spreading.

The right read optimization is actually write optimizationjames tong
?
Fractal Tree indexes provide a way to optimize both reads and writes for large, growing datasets. They achieve this by combining aspects of log-structured merge trees (LSM trees) and B-trees - buffering data during writes like LSM trees to batch inserts, but maintaining a B-tree structure for efficient queries. This allows fractal tree indexes to have very fast insertion performance like LSM trees while also supporting fast queries like B-tree indexes. However, fractal tree indexes do introduce more complexity in the tree structure that can make concurrency more difficult.
