Hitachi Data Systems promises superior performance, capacity and reliability from the new flash module for demanding enterprise workloads.
Hitachi Accelerated Flash storage for demanding enterprise workloads.
The Hitachi Accelerated Flash storage features a new custom-designed rack-optimized form factor and new flash memory controller technology from Hitachi.
When compared with 400GB MLC SSDs, Hitachi Accelerated Flash storage achieves:
- 4 times better performance
- 46% lower cost per bit
- improved environmental characteristics (power and space)
These offer higher performance, lowest cost per bit, and greater capacity compared to conventional solid-state drives (SSDs) on the market today.
Flash technology has become more pervasive in the data center over the past few years.
However, its widespread adoption as a mainstream storage option has been hampered by high costs, limited endurance and sub-optimal write performance.
