Sun Adding Flash Storage to Most of Its Servers

Posted by timothy on from the add-it-to-everything-please dept.

BobB-nw writes "Sun will release a 32GB flash storage drive this year and make flash storage an option for nearly every server the vendor produces, Sun officials are announcing Wednesday. Like EMC, Sun is predicting big things for flash. While flash storage is far more expensive than disk on a per-gigabyte basis, Sun argues that flash is cheaper for high-performance applications that rely on fast I/O Operations Per Second speeds."

    You are correct. I inadvertently mod'ed you "redundant", rather than "insightful", so this reply is to knock that off.

    Strangely enough, I had to log in using IE to post this comment. While using Seamonkey, it would state "If you continue to post this comment, all moderations done to this discussion will be undone! Are you sure you want to post?" and not me any option to say "Yes."

    How do I get voyeur privileges? Is it pay-per-view? What's the ratio of male flashers to female flashers?

    These are the important questions.

    Just mod him funny - then we will all know it's a joke, without having to exercise our critical thinking skills. I know I don't come here to do that, I rely on the moderators. Here, I've even got mod points, I'll do it for you.... Oops!
