Sun Adding Flash Storage to Most of Its Servers 113

Posted by timothy on Wednesday June 04, 2008 @01:22PM 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."

Most computers come with flash preloaded. I don't know why you'd be browsing the web or watching videos/web comics/ads/etc on a server computer. Maybe they're trying to dumb diwn ti compete with Windows Server 2008.

Good point. And I strongly suspect that it enables today's Dynamic CIOs to realize unprecedented First-Mover Synergies in the modern Data-Centric Enterprise Solution Space.
