Platypus Technology have already developed products that address many if not all of the issues raised.
QikDATA Solid State Disk
Along with providing vastly increased speed and efficiency, QikDATA maximizes data redundancy.
The system combines a large and incredibly fast storage system with an internal UPS, and fully automated data back-up to multiple independent hard disk drives, should the host computer suffer a power loss.
QikDATA at a glance.
An ideal and secure way to maximize database application performance.
Protected With internal UPS and automatic back-up to mirrored hard disk drives, QikDATA ensures maximum data protection. QikDATA can be configured without any single point of failure.
Extreme Speed
Takes advantage of the latest 64 bit, 66MHz PCI bus technology and SDRAM speeds - for sustained data throughput of up to 350MB/sec, allowing up to 40,000 I/O transactions per second.
Scalable
Each 1RU sized QikDATA provides between 1GB and 16GB of storage. Up to eight QikDATA units can be combined and spanned to create a single high performance drive of up to 128GB.
Simple integration
Has standard 1RU and PCI card installation. Can be formatted, partitioned or spanned like any other drive.
Easily serviceable.
Units are easily accessed for upgrades and part replacement.
