The underlying technology used is solid state storage technology is NAND Flash, and requires good wear-leveling algorithms to ensure high life expectancy.
Solid state technology can be implemented is several different ways, and the two most common implementations are drive segments (Solid State Disks) and I/O segments (I/O card).
I/O segments implementation, utilizes storage connected through I/O Bus offering low latency, high I/OPs, block based model with a customized driver, and the primary usage is application performance enhancement.
The HP IO Accelerator is a I/O segment implementation, and available in mezzanine card form factor for HP BladeSystem c-Class |
