Only a system-level approach to flash memory management can meet the increasing performance demands of the cloud while bringing the price of all solid-state systems to a level that is equal to high-performance HDDs. Innovations are necessary to make the latest generation of 19/20 nm MLC flash memory usable in mainstream enterprise cloud storage. In addition, reducing high costs that keep flash memory from serving as primary storage (as compared to caches or tiers) is very important.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Rado Danilak, CEO at Skyera, will highlight flash technology trends for the cloud, and offer system-level solutions that will advance flash memory in the enterprise cloud storage market.
