Solid State Storage Performance: Accelerating Applications

Higher I/O requirements from Tier 1 mission critical applications and the rapid growth of high density virtualized infrastructures place greater I/O demands on storage than ever before.  This increase in I/O requests can make it more difficult to meet SLAs with existing storage in datacenters.  As a virtual infrastructure’s virtual machine and application densities rise it is more difficult to keep up with growing I/O request demands.  This can force a rise in CAPEX and OPEX spending on servers and storage.

There are solid state device-based accelerators that help accelerate Tier 1 applications and virtualized environments.  Many application areas like databases, virtualization, data analytics (i.e. Hadoop), cloud computing, high performance computing, and social applications are using host side SSDs and PCIe flash cards to increase performance and efficiency.

A device level response of 5-7 ms is the typical response time for a small data read from a hard disk drive. Using the same measurement, solid state storage can complete the same reads, on average, at 300 μs.  This is an order-of-magnitude improvement in response time.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
