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."

    Then, in a fit of wisdom, a few posters, all of whom will be modded down as flamebait, will say "There's room for both and price/performance does matter, at least for now." FLAMEBAIT! Mod down this mutual funding* troll!

    *Search for "mutual funding money" AND "Samuel L. Jackson" - quite possibly the best dub to "clean up" some "dirty language"
